We then who are strong are obligated to bear with the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

However, we speak wisdom among those that are perfect, but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are being destroyed.

Brothers, do not be children in your understanding; rather, in malice be children, but in understanding be men.

whom we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;

Epaphras greets you, who is one of you, a bondservant of Christ, always struggling for you in his prayers, that you may stand mature and complete in all the will of God.

that the man of God may be proficient, having been thoroughly equipped for every good work.

But solid food is for the mature, for those because of their practice have their senses trained for the distinguishing of both good and evil.

But let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

Not that I have already obtained, or have already been made perfect; but I press on, if also I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

I have confidence in you, in the Lord, that you will be intent on nothing else; but he who troubles you will bear his judgment, whoever he may be.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in the way.

The meek will He guide in judgment; the meek will He teach His ways.

For if you shall call to wisdom, and utter your voice for understanding;

then shall you understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.

Trust in God with all your heart; and be not exalted in your own wisdom.

In all your ways acquaint yourself with her, that she may rightly direct your paths.

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

If you then, being evil, know [how] to give good gifts to your children, by how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

If anyone desires to do His will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking on My own authority.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.
