Description
Matthew 7 verse 6 which is a pair of parallel proverbs, at first glance seems to stand alone and just tacked in there between all the other passages. Yet, on closer viewing this verse could be viewed as a summary of a number points Jesus makes in his Sermon on the Mount. If you were to reread Chapter 6 you might observe various verses where Jesus talks about valuing the precious treasures that God gives you. Along with this we are warned of false prophets (unholy men) later in Chapter 7.
We are to treat the gifts that God gives us as holy and precious. Among these gifts we can include our family, our time and our faith. These are things that God has blessed us with and we must not let society attack them.
Matthew 7:6; Proverbs 3:1-6 and Proverbs 3:21-23
