See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise,

Walk in wisdom toward them that are outsiders, redeeming the time.

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Give therefore your servant an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this your so great a people?

And God said unto him, Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life; neither have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies; but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures forever.

Make me to understand the way of your precepts: so shall I talk of your wondrous works.

Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

For my people are foolish, they have not known me; they are stupid children, and they have no understanding: they are wise to do evil, but how to do good they have no knowledge.

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have received of us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more and more.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:

In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
