37 And he said to him, Thou shalt love {the} Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy understanding.
13 Who {is} wise and understanding among you; let him shew out of a good conversation his works in meekness of wisdom;
2 have your mind on the things {that are} above, not on the things {that are} on the earth;
17 Iron is sharpened by iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
24 Whoever therefore hears these my words and does them, I will liken him to a prudent man, who built his house upon the rock;
12 A prudent {man} seeth the evil, {and} hideth himself; the simple pass on, {and} are punished.
8 He that getteth sense loveth his own soul; he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
15 See therefore how ye walk carefully, not as unwise but as wise,
16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
18 For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
2 For I did not judge {it well} to know anything among you save Jesus Christ, and *him* crucified.
28 Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is reckoned wise, {and} he that shutteth his lips, intelligent.
20 -for from {the} world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, -so as to render them inexcusable.
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.
13 Blessed is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction; but he that regardeth reproof becometh prudent.
