Proverbs 6

1 My child, 1 if you have put up security for a friend’s debtor agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger - 2 if you have trapped yourself by your agreement
and are caught by what you said - 3 follow my advice and save yourself,
for you have placed yourself at your friend’s
Now swallow your pride;
go and beg to have your name erased.
4 Don’t put it off; do it now!
Don’t rest until you do. 5 Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,
like a bird fleeing from a net.
6 Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones.
Learn from their ways and become wise! 7 Though they have no prince
or governor or ruler to make them work, 8 they labor hard all summer,
gathering food for the winter. 9 But you, lazybones, how long will you sleep?
When will you wake up? 10 A little extra sleep, a little more slumber,
a little folding of the hands to rest - 11 then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit;
scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.

12 What are worthless and wicked people like?
They are constant liars, 13 signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye,
a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers. 14 Their perverted hearts plot evil,
and they constantly stir up trouble. 15 But they will be destroyed suddenly,
broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.

16 There are six things the Lord hates -
no, seven things he detests: 17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent, 18 a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong, 19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord in a family.

20 My son, obey your father’s commands,
and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. 21 Keep their words always in your heart.
Tie them around your neck. 22 When you walk, their counsel will lead you.
When you sleep, they will protect you.
When you wake up, they will advise you. 23 For their command is a lamp
and their instruction a light;
their corrective discipline
is the way to life. 24 It will keep you from the immoral woman,
from the smooth tongue of a promiscuous woman. 25 Don’t lust for her beauty.
Don’t let her coy glances seduce you. 26 For a prostitute will bring you to poverty, 2
but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life. 27 Can a man scoop a flame into his lap
and not have his clothes catch on fire? 28 Can he walk on hot coals
and not blister his feet? 29 So it is with the man who sleeps with another man’s wife.
He who embraces her will not go unpunished. 30 Excuses might be found for a thief
who steals because he is starving. 31 But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole,
even if he has to sell everything in his house. 32 But the man who commits adultery is an utter fool,
for he destroys himself. 33 He will be wounded and disgraced.
His shame will never be erased. 34 For the woman’s jealous husband will be furious,
and he will show no mercy when he takes revenge. 35 He will accept no compensation,
nor be satisfied with a payoff of any size.

If you just started reading the Bible and have not yet asked Jesus into your heart to become your Lord and Savior, all you have to do is:
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
B - BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS GOD'S SON AND ACCEPT GOD'S GIFT OF FORGIVENESS FROM SIN
Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household"
C - CONFESS YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD
9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart the God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
If you are ready to ask Jesus into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, you can pray a simple prayer like this to God.
Dear God,
I know I have sinned and my sin separates me from You. I am sorry for my sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me so my sin can be forgiven. I believe Jesus rose from the dead and is alive. God please forgive me. I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior and Lord. I will obey You and live for You the rest of my life, Thank You in Jesus' name I Pray.
Amen
Amen
