Sabedoria: o que é e como adquiri-la segundo a Bíblia

7 Honoring the Lord is where true knowledge begins, but fools treat wisdom and good advice with contempt.(Proverbs 1:7)

10 Honoring the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; knowledge of the Holy One brings insight.(Proverbs 9:10)

33 Respect for the Lord teaches wisdom; humility goes before honor.(Proverbs 15:33)

10 The beginning of wisdom is honoring the Lord. Those who follow what he says do well. He is to be praised forever!(Psalms 111:10)

12 But where can wisdom be found?* Where is the place to gain understanding? 13 Human beings do not know the way to wisdom; it is not found among the living. 14 The deep waters say, ‘It’s not here,’ and the sea says, ‘It’s not here either.’ 15 It cannot be bought with gold; nor can it be purchased with silver. 16 Its value cannot be measured, even with the gold of Ophir;* it is more precious than onyx or lapis lazuli. 17 Gold or fine glass* cannot compare with wisdom; it cannot be exchanged for gold jewelry. 18 Coral and crystal are not worth mentioning; the price of wisdom is far above rubies.* 19 Topaz from Ethiopia can’t compare with it; it cannot be bought with the purest gold.

20 So where does wisdom come from? Where is the place to gain understanding? 21 Wisdom is hidden from the sight of all living things, even the birds of the air cannot see it. 22 Abaddon* and Death say, ‘We’ve only heard a rumor of it.’(Job 28:12-22)

5 If any of you need wisdom, ask God, who gives generously to everyone without holding back.(James 1:5)

3 if you cry out for insight and call loudly for help in understanding; 5 then you will understand how to relate to the Lord and discover the truth about God.(Proverbs 2:3,5)

6 The Lord is the source of wisdom; what he says provides knowledge that makes sense.(Proverbs 2:6)

17 God gave these four young men the ability to learn and understand in all areas of literature and knowledge, while Daniel was also given the gift of interpreting all kinds of visions and dreams.(Daniel 1:17)

20 "Praise the wonderful nature* of God forever and ever, for he is wise and powerful.(Daniel 2:20)

23 I give thanks and praise to you, God of my fathers, for you have given me wisdom and power. Now you have revealed to me what we asked you; you have revealed to us the king’s dream."(Daniel 2:23)

13 Who among you has wisdom and understanding? Let their good lives demonstrate what they do—doing what is right with wise kindness and consideration.(James 3:13)

17 However, wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, and it also brings peace. It is kind and open to reason. It is full of mercy and produces good things. It is genuine and not hypocritical.(James 3:17)

23 but our message is of Christ killed on a cross—offensive to the Jews, and foolishness to the foreigners. 24 However, for those who are called by God, both Jews and foreigners, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than we are; and the weakness of God is stronger than we are.(1 Corinthians 1:23-25)

6 However, we do use words of wisdom when we speak to those who are spiritually mature, but this isn’t wisdom that comes from this world, or from the rulers of this world who soon fade from the scene. 7 On the contrary we explain God’s wisdom in terms of a revealed mystery* that was previously hidden which God planned for our glory before the creation of the worlds.(1 Corinthians 2:6,7)

18 Don’t deceive yourselves. If there’s any one of you who thinks they’re worldly wise, they should become fools so they can become truly wise!(1 Corinthians 3:18)

2 so that you may be encouraged. May you be bound together in love, experiencing the great benefit of being completely sure in your understanding, for this is what the true knowledge of God brings. May you know the revealed mystery of God, which is Christ! 3 In him you can discover all the rich wisdom and knowledge of God.(Colossians 2:2,3)

5 Put your trust totally in the Lord—don’t rely on what you think you know! 6 Remember him in everything you do, and he’ll show you the right way.(Proverbs 3:5,6)

7 Don’t think you’re wise—respect God and avoid evil.(Proverbs 3:7)

4 Show me your ways, Lord; teach me to follow your paths.

5 Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. All day long I put my trust in you.(Psalms 25:4,5)

9 He leads those who are humble in doing what’s right, teaching them his way.(Psalms 25:9)

11 Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me*—(Psalms 27:11)

8 "I* will instruct you, teaching you the way to follow. I will advise you, watching out for you.(Psalms 32:8)

23 The Lord shows the right path to those who follow him, and is happy with the way they live.(Psalms 37:23)

8 Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.(Psalms 143:8)

10 Teach me your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.

18 Open my eyes so I may discover wonderful things in your law.(Psalms 119:18)

130 Studying your words brings light so that even the uneducated* can understand.(Psalms 119:130)

1 Happy are those who don’t follow the advice of the wicked. They refuse to adopt the ways of sinful people, and they don’t make fun of others.

2 Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it day and night.(Psalms 1:1,2)

22 They will lead you as you walk along; they will watch over you as you sleep; when you wake up they will talk with you.(Proverbs 6:22)

16 Let Christ’s message fully live in you. In every wise way teach and instruct one another through psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing praises to God in gratitude and sincerity.(Colossians 3:16)

15 So be careful how you live your life, not foolishly, but wisely, 16 making the best use of opportunities because the days are evil.(Ephesians 5:15,16)

5 Wise people will listen and gain in learning, and those who have good judgment will gain skills in guidance,(Proverbs 1:5)

8 Those who think wisely pay attention to instruction, but a stupid chatterbox ends up in disaster.(Proverbs 10:8)

2 With pride comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.(Proverbs 11:2)

15 Stupid people think they’re on the right track, but if you’re wise you listen to advice.(Proverbs 12:15)

3 Watch what you say and save your life—saying too much leads to disaster.(Proverbs 13:3)

10 Pride only causes conflict; but those who take advice are wise.(Proverbs 13:10)

29 If you’re slow to get angry, you’re very wise; but if you have a short fuse you glorify stupidity.(Proverbs 14:29)

23 Do whatever you do really well, as if you’re doing it for God, and not for people, 24 because you know that the Lord will give you your reward—an inheritance! You’re serving Christ the Lord!(Colossians 3:23,24)

5 Behave wisely with outsiders, making the best use of every opportunity. 6 Always be gracious when you speak. Make sure it’s in good taste, and think about how best to answer everyone.(Colossians 4:5,6)

13 Happy are those who find wisdom and gain understanding,(Proverbs 3:13)

35 For those who find me, find life, and are accepted by the Lord.(Proverbs 8:35)

1 Human beings may make plans in their minds, but the final decision is the Lord’s.(Proverbs 16:1)

9 You can plan in your mind what to do, but the Lord will guide you.(Proverbs 16:9)

16 Far better to get wisdom than gold; far better to choose knowledge than silver.(Proverbs 16:16)

26 To those who are good, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy. But to the sinner God gives the task of gathering and collecting wealth, only to hand it over to someone who pleases God.
