5 And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.

17 The wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceful, courteous, not self-willed, full of compassion and kind actions, free from favouritism and from all insincerity.

13 Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit.

6 Yet when we are among mature believers we do speak words of wisdom; a wisdom not belonging, however, to the present age nor to the leaders of the present age who are soon to pass away.7 But in dealing with truths hitherto kept secret we speak of God's wisdom–that hidden wisdom which, before the world began, God pre-destined, so that it should result in glory to us;

23 while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified–to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,24 but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.25 Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If any man imagines that he is wise, compared with the rest of you, with the wisdom of the present age, let him become »foolish« so that he may be wise.

2 in order that their hearts may be cheered, they themselves being welded together in love and enjoying all the advantages of a reasonable certainty, till at last they attain the full knowledge of God's truth, which is Christ Himself.3 In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are stored up, hidden from view.

16 Let the teaching concerning Christ remain as a rich treasure in your hearts. In all wisdom teach and admonish one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and sing with grace in your hearts to God.

15 Therefore be very careful how you live and act. Let it not be as unwise men, but as wise.16 Buy up your opportunities, for these are evil times.

5 Behave wisely in relation to the outside world, buying up your opportunities.6 Let your language be always seasoned with the salt of grace, so that you may know how to give every man a fitting answer.

23 Whatever you are doing, let your hearts be in your work, as a thing done for the Lord and not for men.24 For you know that it is from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. Christ is the Master whose bondservants you are.

33 Oh, how inexhaustible are God's resources and God's wisdom and God's knowledge! How impossible it is to search into His decrees or trace His footsteps!

27 to God, the only wise, through Jesus Christ, even to Him be the glory through all the Ages! Amen.

28 Now we know that for those who love God all things are working together for good–for those, I mean, whom with deliberate purpose He has called.

20 Now to Him who, in exercise of His power that is at work within us, is able to do infinitely beyond all our highest prayers or thoughts–21 to Him be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, world without end! Amen.

1 This intended visit of mine is my third visit to you. »On the evidence of two or three witnesses every charge shall be sustained.«

5 and you have quite forgotten the encouraging words which are addressed to you as sons, and which say, »My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's discipline, and do not faint when He corrects you;6 for those whom the Lord loves He disciplines: and He scourges every son whom He acknowledges.«

8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, whatever is of good repute –if there is any virtue or anything deemed worthy of praise– cherish the thought of these things.

34 Do not be over-anxious, therefore, about to-morrow, for to-morrow will bring its own cares. Enough for each day are its own troubles.

42 The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.

24 »Every one who hears these my teachings and acts upon them will be found to resemble a wise man who builds his house upon rock;«

15 for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to withstand or reply to.«

24 Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just.«

14 when, all the while, you do not even know what will happen to-morrow. For what is the nature of your life? Why, it is but a mist, which appears for a short time and then is seen no more.
