¹³ Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?

² No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.

³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

² What ye know, `the same' do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.

²⁸ If ye say, How we will persecute him! And that the root of the matter is found in me;

² How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

¹² For our glorifying is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

⁴ But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor.
