The Gospel of Barnabas
GspBar
[1]A false balance is an abomination to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but a perfect weight is His delight. [No book]
[2]When pride cometh, then cometh shame; but with the lowly is wisdom. [No book]
[3]The integrity of the upright shall guide them; but the perverseness of the faithless shall destroy them. [No book]
[4]Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death. [No book]
[5]The righteousness of the sincere shall make straight his way; but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. [No book]
[6]The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; but the faithless shall be trapped in their own crafty device. [No book]
[7]When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish, and the hope of strength perisheth. [No book]
[8]The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead. [No book]
[9]With his mouth the impious man destroyeth his neighbour; but through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. [No book]
[10]When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth; and when the wicked perish, there is joy. [No book]
[11]By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted; but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. [No book]
[12]He that despiseth hi neighbour lacketh understanding; but a man of discernment holdeth his peace. [No book]
[13]He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter. [No book]
[14]Where no wise direction is, a people falleth; but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. [No book]
[15]He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it; but he that hateth them that strike hands is secure. [No book]
[16]A gracious woman obtaineth honour; and strong men obtain riches. [No book]
[17]The merciful man doeth good to his own soul; but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh. [No book]
[18]The wicked earneth deceitful wages; but he that soweth righteousness hath a sure reward. [No book]
[19]Stedfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he the pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death. [No book]
[20]They that are perverse in heart are an abomination to ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; but such as are upright in their way are His delight. [No book]
[21]My hand upon it! the evil man shall not be unpunished; but the seed of the righteous shall escape. [No book]
[22]As a ring of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman that turneth aside from discretion. [No book]
[23]The desire of the righteous is only good; but the expectation of the wicked is wrath. [No book]
[24]There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want. [No book]
[25]The beneficent soul shall be made rich, and he that satisfieth abundantly shall be satisfied also himself. [No book]
[26]He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it. [No book]
[27]He that diligently seeketh good seeketh favour; but he that searcheth for evil, it shall come unto him. [No book]
[28]He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as foliage. [No book]
[29]He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind; and the foolish shall be servant to the wise of heart. [No book]
[30]The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that is wise winneth souls. [No book]
[31]Behold, the righteous shall be requited in the earth; how much more the wicked and the sinner! [No book]
