Reputation — the kind of person others know you to be — is of greater value than accumulated wealth. 'Loving favour' means the goodwill and affection of others, which cannot be purchased. A good name is built through character, honesty, and faithfulness over time. This proverb challenges the common assumption that wealth is the highest goal.
Memory phrase: A good name is priceless.
Talk about it: What makes someone's name worth remembering?
Prayer: God, help me build a good name by living right.
