Compreensão
A verdadeira compreensão vem de Deus. Os caminhos do Senhor são mais altos que os nossos. Mas Ele nos convida a buscar entendimento — e promete iluminar quem o busca de coração.
A sabedoria de Deus
Os meus pensamentos não são os vossos pensamentos. A incompreensibilidade de Deus nos leva à humildade e adoração.

Woe to him that against-saith his maker, a tilestone of [the] earth of sands. Whether [the] clay saith to his potter, What makest thou, and thy work is without hands?

O! the highness of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowing, of God; how incomprehensible be his dooms, and his ways be unsearchable.
Buscar entendimento
Clama a mim e responder-te-ei. A sabedoria é a coisa principal — busque o entendimento com todo o coração.
Cry thou to me, and I shall hear thee, and I shall tell to thee great things, and steadfast, which thou knowest not.
The beginning of wisdom, wield thou wisdom; and in all thy possession, get thou prudence.
He that is patient, is governed by much wisdom; but he that is unpatient, enhanceth his folly.
Many thoughts there be in the heart of a man; but the will of the Lord shall dwell.
Each way of a man seemeth rightful [or right] to himself; but the Lord weigheth the hearts.
that God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give to you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, into the knowing of him;
But wax ye in the grace and the knowing of our Lord Jesus Christ and our Saviour; to him be glory now and into the day of everlastingness. Amen.
Iluminação divina
A entrada da tua Palavra dá luz e entendimento. Deus revela verdades ocultas e transforma nossa visão da realidade.
Declaring of thy words lighteneth; and it giveth understanding to meek men.
I shall give understanding to thee, and I shall teach thee; in this way in which thou shalt go, I shall make steadfast mine eyes on thee.

while that we behold not those things that be seen, but those [things] that be not seen. For those things that be seen, be but during for a short time [or temporal]; but those things that be not seen, be everlasting [or eternal].
No man when he is tempted, say, that he is tempted of God; for why God is not a tempter of evil things, for he tempteth no man.
