3 For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.

5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction; but he that regardeth reproof becometh prudent.
28 Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is reckoned wise, {and} he that shutteth his lips, intelligent.
