Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understand.

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet show with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven

Colossians 1:16-17
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
7. To have peace in your child’s life and at home.

I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgment: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
