(Fridayday Mart 3, 2017)

The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of Temptations,

2 Peter 2: 1 & 3 & 8 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. (4)

Proverbs 2: 22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. (4)

1 & 4 & 7

2 Peter 2: 17 These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. (8)

18 For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

Proverbs 2: 17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her GOD. (8)

18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.

3 & 6 & 9

2 Peter 2: 8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) (8)

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of Temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the Day of Judgment to be Punished:

Proverbs 2: 8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. (8)

9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

3 & 6 & 9

2 Peter 2: 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. (3)

Proverbs 2: 21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. (3)

1 & 3 & 8

2 Peter 2: 12 But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; (3)

13 And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

14 Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:

15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

Proverbs 2: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; (3)

13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;

14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;

15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:

16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;

1 & 4 & 7

2 Peter 2: 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. (3)

4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; Who was Mrs. Noah? What was she like? Answer - Learn about this rarely mentioned, but important woman.

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

Proverbs 2: 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; (3)

4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

1 & 4 & 7

2 Peter 2: 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. (1)

20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

Proverbs 2: 19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. (1)

20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

2 & 5 & 8

2 Peter 2: 10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. (1)

11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

Proverbs 2: 10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; (1)

11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

2 & 5 & 8

2 Peter 2: 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. (1)

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

Proverbs 2:

1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; (1)

2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
