Don't
let anyone look down on you
because you are young, but set
an example for the believers in
speech, in life, in love, in
faith and in purity.
(1 Timothy 4:12)
Be
happy, young man, while you are
young, and let your heart give
you joy in the days of your
youth. Follow the ways of your
heart and whatever your eyes
see, but know that for all these
things God will bring you to
judgment.
(Ecclesiastes 11:9)
Hold
on to instruction, do not let it
go; guard it well, for it is
your life. (Proverbs
4:13)
My
son, preserve sound judgment and
discernment, do not let them out
of your sight; they will be life
for you, an ornament to grace
your neck. Then you will go on
your way in safety, and your
foot will not stumble; when you
lie down, you will not be
afraid; when you lie down, your
sleep will be sweet. (Proverbs
3:21-24)
My
son, keep your father's commands
and do not forsake your mother's
teaching. Bind them upon your
heart forever; fasten them
around your neck. When you walk,
they will guide you; when you
sleep, they will watch over you;
when you awake, they will speak
to you. (Proverbs
6:20-22)
Listen
to advice and accept
instruction, and in the end you
will be wise.

son, if your heart is wise, then
my heart will be glad; my inmost
being will rejoice when your
lips speak what is right. (Proverbs
23:15-16)
Listen,
my son, and be wise, and keep
your heart on the right path. (Proverbs
23:19)
My
son, give me your heart and let
your eyes keep to my ways. (Proverbs
23:26)
Be
wise, my son, and bring joy to
my heart. (Proverbs
27:11)
He
who walks with the wise grows
wise, but a companion of fools
suffers harm. (Proverbs
13:20)
Do
not be misled: "Bad company
corrupts good character." (1
Corinthians 15:33)
My
son, if sinners entice you, do
not give in to them. (Proverbs
1:10)

your father and mother... so
that it may go well with you and
that you may enjoy long life on
the earth. (Ephesians
6:2)
Children,
obey your parents in everything,
for this pleases the Lord. (Colossians
3:20)

your father and mother be glad;
may she who gave you birth
rejoice! (Proverbs

Since
my youth, 0 God, you have taught
me, and to this day I declare
your marvelous deeds.

can a young man keep his way
pure? By living according to
your word. (Psalm
