Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 ERV Ananias and Sapphira Acts 5:1-11 There was a man named Ananias. His wife's name was Sapphira. Ananias sold some land he had, but he gave only part of the money to the apostles. He secretly kept some of the money for himself. His wife knew this, and she agreed with it. Peter said, "Ananias, why did you let Satan fill your mind with such an idea? You kept part of the money for yourself and lied about it to the Holy Spirit! Before you sold the field, it belonged to you, right? And even after you sold it, you could have used the money any way you wanted. How could you even think of doing such a thing? You lied to God, not to us!" When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. Some young men came an wrapped his body. They carried it out and buried it. And everyone who heard about this was filled with fear. About three hours later his wife came in. Sapphira did not know about what had happened to her husband. Peter said to her, "Tell me how much money you got for your field. Was it this much?" Sapphira answered, "Yes, that was all we got for the field." Peter said to her, "Why did you and your husband agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! Do you hear those footsteps? The men who buried your husband are at the door. They will carry you out in the same way." At that moment Sapphira fell down by his feet and died. The young men came in and saw that she was dead. They carried her out and buried her beside her husband. The whole church and all the other people who heard about this were filled with fear. Dangers of Debt Proverbs 6:1-5 My son, don't make yourself responsible for the debts of others. Don't make such deals with friends or strangers. If you do, your words will trap you. You will be under the power of other people, so you must go and free yourself. Beg them to free you from that debt, Don't wait to rest or sleep. Escape from the trap like a deer running from a hunter. Free yourself like a bird flying from a trap. 1 Corinthians 11:7-16 But a man should not cover his head, because he is made like God and is God's glory. But woman is man's glory. Man did not come from woman. Woman came from man. And man was not made for woman. Woman was made for man. So that is why a woman should have her head covered with something that shows she is under authority. Also, she should do this because of the angels. But in the Lord the woman needs the man, and the man needs the woman, This is true because woman came from man, but also man is born from woman, Really, everything comes from God. Decide this for yourselves; Is it right for a woman to pray to God without something on her head? Even nature itself teaches you that wearing long hair is shameful for a man. But wearing long hair is a woman's honor. Long hair is given to the woman to cover her head. Some people may still want to argue about this. But we and the churches of God don't accept what those people are doing. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Now, what would we learn from everything that is written in this book? The most important thing a person can do is to respect God and obey his commands, because he knows about everything people do--even the secret things. He knows about all the good and all the bad, and he will judge people for everything they do, Some Feedback Questions 1. What version of the Bible do you use to study God's word? 2.
