28 And we know that he works all things together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in the ways of this world, he must become a fool to become really wise.
15 So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise,
16 making the best use of time because the days are evil.
42 The queen of the south will stand up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. But look—something greater than Solomon is here!"
5 Behave wisely toward outsiders, making the best use of your time.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.
15 for I will give you such speech and wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute it.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in the ways of this world, he must become a fool to become really wise.
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.
17 However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good fruits, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
34 So never worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
5 You have forgotten the encouragement that is addressed to you as sons: "My son, do not think lightly of the Lord's disciplineor give up when you are corrected by him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,and he punishes every son he accepts."
27 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be glory forever! Amen.
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.
17 However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good fruits, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.
5 Behave wisely toward outsiders, making the best use of your time.
6 Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer everyone.
14 You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
1 This will be the third time I am coming to you. "Every accusation must be verified by two or three witnesses."
17 However, the wisdom that comes from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, willing to yield, full of compassion and good fruits, and without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy.
15 So, then, be careful how you live. Do not be unwise but wise,
16 making the best use of time because the days are evil.
23 Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people.
24 You know that it is from the Lord that you will receive the inheritance as a reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you are serving!
13 Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good life that his works are done in humility born of wisdom.
33 O how deep are God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge! How impossible to explain his judgments or to understand his ways!
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you with all richness and wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, and singing to God with thankfulness in your hearts.
20 Now to the one who can do infinitely more than all we can ask or imagine according to the power that is working among us—
21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever! Amen.
2 Because they are united in love, I pray that their hearts may be encouraged by all the riches that come from a complete understanding of the full knowledge of Christ, who is the secret of God.
3 In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him.
6 However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.
7 Instead, we speak about God's secret wisdom that has been hidden, which God destined for our glory before the world began.
24 Stop judging by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment!"
24 "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on a rock.
