¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you:

¹⁰ I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.

⁶ We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:

³ Yea, if thou cry after discernment, And lift up thy voice for understanding;

⁴ If thou seek her as silver, And search for her as for hid treasures:

⁵ Then shalt thou understand the fear of Jehovah, And find the knowledge of God.

⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom; Out of his mouth `cometh' knowledge and understanding:

¹⁷ If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or `whether' I speak from myself.

¹³ If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall `your' heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

⁸ And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but is shall be for `the redeemed': the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err `therein'.

⁵ Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding:

⁶ In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.

⁵ but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him:

⁴ And let patience have `its' perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

⁵ But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

¹⁴ But solid food is for fullgrown men, `even' those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

¹⁷ That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.

¹² Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, saluteth you, always striving for you in his prayers, that ye may stand perfect and fully assured in all the will of God.

²⁸ whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ;

¹² Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus.

¹³ Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing `I do', forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,

¹⁴ I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men.

¹ Now we that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

⁴⁸ Ye therefore shall be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

⁸ Good and upright is Jehovah: Therefore will he instruct sinners in the way.

⁹ The meek will he guide in justice; And the meek will he teach his way.
