"I am Wisdom, I am better than jewels; nothing you want can compare with me.

If you know what you are talking about, you have something more valuable than gold or jewels.

How hard it is to find a capable wife! She is worth far more than jewels!

"The Kingdom of heaven is like this. A man happens to find a treasure hidden in a field. He covers it up again, and is so happy that he goes and sells everything he has, and then goes back and buys that field.

and when he finds one that is unusually fine, he goes and sells everything he has, and buys that pearl.

Your constant love is better than life itself, and so I will praise you.

What else do I have in heaven but you? Since I have you, what else could I want on earth?

My mind and my body may grow weak, but God is my strength; he is all I ever need.

I consider that what we suffer at this present time cannot be compared at all with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.
