This is part of a year long reading of the Bible chronologically in a harmonized format.

Proverbs 14:1 - 15:33

- The wise build up their house and speak carefully while fools tear down and invite trouble; the fear of the Lord is a fountain of life.

- Righteousness and a gentle tongue bring peace and favor, but pride, laziness, and perverse speech lead to destruction.

1 Thessalonians 2:17 - 3:13

- Paul expresses deep longing to see the Thessalonians again after being separated and sends Timothy to strengthen and encourage them in their faith.

- Timothy returns with good news of their steadfastness; Paul prays that their love may increase and that they may be blameless at Christ’s coming.
