Footnotes:

7:1-2 - Avoid evil and do not commit sin. A path of righteousness and justice is the best protection against calamity. Walking in the fear of God is a guarantee of a secure life (see also Proverbs 3:7 and Romans 12:9).

7:4-6 - Don't seek power or a position of authority if you're not prepared. Leaders are judged more harshly, and they are held accountable for their actions. Leadership requires wisdom and humility (see also James 3:1 and 1 Timothy 3:1-2).

7:10-11 - Do not hesitate to pray, and be constant in prayer. Prayer should not be neglected, and we should seek God in all situations. Persevering prayer is a source of grace and strength (see also Luke 18:1 and 1 Thessalonians 5:17).

7:27-28 - Honor your parents and care for them in their old age. Respect for parents is a divine commandment and brings blessings to those who obey it. Parents should be treated with dignity and love (see also Exodus 20:12 and Ephesians 6:2-3).

7:32-36 - Practice charity and help the poor. Generosity to those in need pleases God and brings blessings. Helping those in need is a way of serving God (see also Proverbs 19:17 and Matthew 25:40).
