PROVERBS 19:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that despiseth his ways shall die.”
Whoever keeps the commandment keeps his own life, but he who is careless in his ways will die—obedience to moral law becomes the means of self-preservation rather than external constraint, grounding the fear of the LORD in enlightened self-interest aligned with cosmic order.
