This wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

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

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no change or shadow of turning.

And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Inasmuch as God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

And Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted one in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was raised up to come and do the work.

Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?

behold, I have done according to your words; behold, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered, and they feared his presence; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to execute justice.

Only may Jehovah give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, to keep the Law of Jehovah your God.

But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

God understands its way, and He knows its place.

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

For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

And He shall savor the fear of Jehovah. And He shall not judge according to the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

As for these four boys, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom. And Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.

However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature; but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, having been hidden, which God appointed before the ages for our glory,

for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge through the same Spirit,

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; and He shall purify the sons of Levi and purge them like gold and like silver, that they may draw near to Jehovah with an offering in righteousness.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy; think on these things.

To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and tranquillity to Israel in his days.

And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Strong and Mighty God, The Eternal Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of His government and peace upon the throne of David there will be no end; and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.

And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

And the nursing child shall play near the hole of the adder, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the viper's den.

until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is esteemed as a forest.

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance forever.

If it is possible, as for yourself, be at peace with all men.

Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord;

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those who are with young.

Love is longsuffering and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast itself, is not puffed up;

does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;

Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and fairness of Christ; who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

meekness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

But we were gentle among you, just as a nurse cherishes her own children.

Besides, a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,

to speak evil of no one, not being a brawler, but fair, showing all meekness to all men.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.

Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for eating, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

being filled with the fruits of righteousness through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, bearing fruit in every good work and growing into the full true knowledge of God;

have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?

So I have also made you despised and low before all the people, just as you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in the Law.

I charge you before God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the elect angels that you keep watch over these things without prejudice, doing nothing with partiality.

For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity; to practice hypocrisy and to speak error against Jehovah, to empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to be lacking.

Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

For there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, nor hidden that will not be known.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cleave to what is good.

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.
