First Lesson
Proverbs 10:12-14,18-21
12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
13 In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found:
but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.
14 Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is
near destruction.
18 He
that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander,
is a fool.
19 In
the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth
his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the
wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want
of wisdom.
1st Lesson Questions:

Second Lesson
Philippians 1:27-2:11
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of
Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I
may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with
one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And
in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an
evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that
of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only
to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear
to be in me.
1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort
of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let
nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness
of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on
the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be
equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form
of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and
became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a
name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things
in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2nd Lesson Questions:
Philippians 1:27-2:11. Why is terror a token of perdition (verse 1:28)? Does my lifestyle reflect 2:3? RESOLVE
