Sabedoria
A sabedoria é um dos temas mais ricos da Bíblia. O temor do Senhor é seu princípio, e buscá-la vale mais que ouro ou prata. Deus promete dar sabedoria generosamente a quem pedir com fé.
O princípio da sabedoria
O temor do Senhor é o início de toda sabedoria verdadeira. Quem reverencia a Deus aprende a viver com discernimento e prudência.
Sabedoria como dom de Deus
A verdadeira sabedoria vem do alto. Deus a concede generosamente a quem pede com fé, sem lançar em rosto a fraqueza humana.

23 but we preach Christ crucified. He is a stumbling block to Jews and nonsense to Gentiles,24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God's power and God's wisdom.25 For God's nonsense is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength.
