³⁷ And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding --

¹³ Who `is' wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,

² the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth,

¹⁷ Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend.

¹⁸ for, in abundance of wisdom `is' abundance of sadness, and he who addeth knowledge addeth pain.'

¹⁵ See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

¹⁷ because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what `is' the will of the Lord,

² for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus Christ, and him crucified;

¹³ O the happiness of a man `who' hath found wisdom, And of a man `who' bringeth forth understanding.

⁸ Whoso is getting heart is loving his soul, He is keeping understanding to find good.

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith,

²⁰ for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being inexcusable;

²⁴ `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

²⁸ Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!

⁵ A fool despiseth the instruction of his father, And whoso is regarding reproof is prudent.

¹² The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple have passed on, they are punished.
