Bible Notes

[The Biblical citations given in the Christian Science Quarterly are from the Authorized King James Version.

"Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way" (Prov. 13:6)—A more exact rendering of the Hebrew would be, "Righteousness guards right conduct" (literally, "uprightness of way"). Moffatt prefers to render: "Goodness safeguards men of integrity," and then continues, "but vice is the downfall of sinful men"

"Only by pride cometh contention" (Prov. 13:10)—An alternative translation of the original would be, "By pride comes only contention." Consequently, Kent translates: "By pride comes only strife."
