Bible Commentary

Proverbs 11:19

There are only two ultimate destinations: life and death. Righteousness is the path to life — not just physical life but the abundant, God-given life. Evil is a path that ends in death, including spiritual death and separation from God.

Memory phrase: Righteousness leads to life.

Talk about it: Why does doing wrong always lead somewhere bad in the end?

Prayer: God, keep me on the path to life.
