Proverbs 3:3

3 Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.

Proverbs 3:3 In-Context

1 Good friend, don't forget all I've taught you; take to heart my commands.
2 They'll help you live a long, long time, a long life lived full and well.
3 Don't lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart.
4 Earn a reputation for living well in God's eyes and the eyes of the people.
5 Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own.
