In my mind the best answer comes from the Lord Himself with His Parable on the Good Samaritan. It's instructive to read the background or what motivated Him to expound with the Parable. Lk 10:25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?” 27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’” 28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.” 29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?” 37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.” Whenever and wherever we see our fellow man in need, we should feel motivated to share with him whatever we have. Otherwise how could we obey and fulfill these two Commands above from our Lord. Clearly the priest and the Levite didn't have love in their hearts and chose to disobey God's Commands. Tell me what you think? And God bless, Inquisitor |

Hello Inquisitor, Your response doesn't answer the question because it fails to address the text of Prov. 31:26! The ESV reads, "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue". The Bible Knowledge Commentary notes, "In keeping with the theme of Proverbs, this woman is praised for her wisdom and faithful instruction. The instruction probably refers to her teaching her children and her servant girls." What does your response have to do with Prov. 31:26? If I may, as far as I think, it is better to provide and well-thought answer that exegetes the text, thereby serving to instruct and clarify! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
