Which Is More to Be Desired?
PRECIOUS STONES OR INVALUABLE UNDERSTANDING
For wisdom is better than jewels; and all desirable things
cannot compare with her.
Proverbs 8:11
THIS WORLD'S GOODS OR A GOOD NAME
A good name is to be more desired than great wealth,
favor is better than silver and gold.
Proverbs 22:1
POWER OVER OTHERS OR CONTROL OF SELF
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
Proverbs 16:32
GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD OR SAVE SOUL
"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?"
Mark 8:36
