Sayings Not Found in Scripture

I was browsing around Blue Letter Bible and I came across these. It is a list of sayings that are commonly referred to as Biblical sayings, but they are not actually (or entirely) Biblical.

Another saying that I hear people say a lot is "Love the sinner, hate the sin." At face value that is true but not in the context that it usually is used. Many of these listed here I have heard of before but there were a few that I never knew anything about. Click on the links to read more about each one. Very interesting read.

Sayings

Moderation in all things.
Once saved, always saved.
Better to cast your seed....
Spare the rod, spoil the child.
To thine ownself be true.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
God helps those who help themselves.
Money is the root of all evil.
Cleanliness is next to godliness.
This too shall pass.
God works in mysterious ways.
The eye is the window to the soul.
The lion shall lay down with the lamb.
Pride comes before the fall.

Miscellaneous

The Three Wisemen
The Sinner's Prayer
Wedding Vows
The Seven Deadly Sins
