Proverbs 6:23-25
New International Reader's Version
23 Your father’s command is like a lamp.
Your mother’s teaching is like a light.
And whatever instructs and corrects you
leads to life.
24 It keeps you from your neighbor’s wife.
It keeps you from the smooth talk of a woman who commits adultery.
25 Don’t hunger in your heart after her beauty.
Don’t let her eyes capture you.
Proverbs 6:23-25
New International Version
23 For this command is a lamp,
this teaching is a light,(A)
and correction and instruction
are the way to life,(B)
24 keeping you from your neighbor’s wife,
from the smooth talk of a wayward woman.(C)
25 Do not lust in your heart after her beauty
or let her captivate you with her eyes.
