As many as

John 1:12 KJV — But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: As many as. Osos. As great as, as far as, how much, how many, whoever. That’s how it always is for anyone in God’s family.

Don’t even start

Proverbs 5:4 KJV — But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. The end determines the beginning. The end defines whether or not you should begin the journey. The start may be smooth as honey, but if the end is bitter as wormwood, don’t even start.

On promotion

Proverbs 4:8 KJV — Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. The key to promotion isn’t self-promotion. Instead, promoting and honouring wisdom will lead to wisdom promoting and honouring you.
