Hasten to do good and restrain your mind from evil. One who is slow in doing good, one's mind delights in evil.

118
Should a person commit evil, let one not do it again and again. Let one not find pleasure therein, for painful is the accumulation of evil.

119
Should a person do good, let one do it again and again. Let one find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.

120
It may be well with the evil-doer as long as the evil ripens not, but when it does ripen, then the evil doer sees (the painful results of) one's evil deeds.

121
It may be ill with the doer of good as long as the good ripens not, but when it does ripen then the doer of good sees (the pleasant results of) one's good deeds.

122
Think not lightly of evil, saying, "It will not come to me." Drop by drop is the water pot filled; likewise, the fool, gathering it little by little, fills oneself with evil.

Think not lightly of good, saying, "It will not come to me." Drop by drop is the water pot filled; likewise, the wise person, gathering it little by little, fills oneself with good.

I am the ocean, you are the raindrops. We are the same. You raindrops, because of your similar size and location, see yourselves as separate, as units, as individuals. This perception of your selves has been your only reality since you were born in the clouds. You have no other perspective of your selves. As you fall through your short lives here, you see the ocean far below. On a certain level you understand that it and you are one and the same. You envy its magnificence. The thought comes,” I am water too, am I not also part of this magnificence?” Then you realize that you are but an insignificant raindrop. You can only look at that distant ocean in awe. The ocean with its timeless knowledge sees you quite differently. It sees you for what you really are. Its most precious children, bravely returning home to share the experience that ocean as a whole could never have experienced. The ocean has nothing but love for you. Because it understands that it is you, and that you are it. It knows only truth. Until the moment you reunite you can only speculate. The ocean's love for you is unconditional. It holds no foolish thought of punishing you for not falling quite right. It only waits with great patience for your homecoming.

The tiny collisions you had with the other drops on the way down, at the time seemed so significant. Often you feared that if you mingled with them too long you might get to close and in the process even lose your identity. All this because you understood your true identity not! You are ocean, you always were ocean, you always will be ocean. How you currently perceive yourself raindrop, snow flake, puddle, stream, River, or lake matters not. This is all illusion, only perception. You are ocean, you are spirit. You and I are one; we are the All That Is!

Psalms 1
Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
I memorized this. I swear on the Holy Bible! I just copied and pasted this one because it would take too long for me to type.

There is no "best" - They are all the perfect Word of God and it begins with Genesis 1:1 and ends with Revelations 22:21.
