  2. Eph 5:18,“Do not get drunk with wine, for that is a waste of life, but be filled with the Spirit.”

  3. DoxologyPraise God, from whom all blessings flow;Praise Him, all creatures here below;Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.—Amen.

  4. The Book of ProverbsChapter 3Prov 3:21-35

  5. Prov 3:21-351. Bible Doctrine combats fear, vs. 21-26.2. Impersonal and Unconditional Love toward your neighbors, vs. 27-31.3. God’s dealings with the wicked and the righteous, vs. 32-35.

  6. 2. The application of Impersonal and Unconditional Love toward your neighbors, vs. 27-31.

  7. Vs. 27-28 are the 1st of three applications of Impersonal and Unconditional love towards mankind, (I.U. Love).

  8. Vs. 27, “Do not withhold” The antithesis of giving, in that you are capable of providing the object in question, but refuses to do so.

  9. The wise person is one who does not withhold.Prov 11:26; Job 22:7; 31:16

  10. Prov 11:26,“He who withholds grain, the people will curse him, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it.”

  11. “From those who it is due”, BAAL, “one who is owed or the owner.” Fellow mankind who is in need or has earned his wage. Cf. Lev 19:13b; Rom 13:8

  12. “In your power to do it.” EL, “god, might, strength, or power.”

  13. “In your power to do it.” EL, “god, might, strength, or power.” Have the right mental attitude when giving.

  14. To refuse to do so when it is in your power is to sin by omission.Deut 24:14f; Lev 19:34; James 2:15-16

  15. The Bible does not ask you to give what you do not have, 2 Cor 8:12; Gal 6:10, and cautions you not to put yourself up as security for a stranger, see Prov 6:1-5.

  16. Vs. 28, This is mental torture toward your neighbor.It aims to get rid of the petitioner rather than to promise him aid tomorrow.

  17. Vs. 29,2nd application of I.U. Love.“Do not devise”Plans of wickedness and harm against your neighbor; lies, gossip, etc.

  18. “While he lives securely”, living at peace, Lev 19:18, 34.Platinum Rule: “Do not do to others what you would not want done to you.”

  19. Vs. 30, “Contend” “conduct a lawsuit, to dispute, to strive, and to contend.”

  20. Fools spread strife and trouble, but the wise avoid quarrels.Prov 15:1, 18; 16:28; 26:20f

  21. The wise are concerned for the well-being of others.cf. Rom 12:3-21; Eph 5:21; Phil 2:3-16

  22. Vs. 31,3rd application of I.U. Love.Warns against emulating the violent person in even the smallest detail.

  23. “Envy” is the antithesis of having a Relaxed Mental Attitude, recognizing your Politeuma Privileges.Cf Psa 37:1; 73; Prov 23:17; 24:1, 19f.

  24. If envy leads to emulation, it leads to a life of sin based on the ways of the wicked. If it leads instead to anger, that response is also sinful, even if it poses as righteous indignation.

  25. Its cure is to recognize that their judgment is both sure and just, Prov 3:32-35; Psa 37:2, 9f; 73:18f, which comes from reflecting on the person and nature of God. Psa 37:3-7; 73:16f; cf. Prov 3:32f.
