³⁷ And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

¹³ Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.

² Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth.

¹⁷ Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

¹⁸ For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

¹⁵ Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

¹⁷ Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

¹³ Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, And the man that getteth understanding.

⁸ He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that keepeth understanding shall find good.

³ For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

²⁰ For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, `even' his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

²⁸ Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is `esteemed as' prudent.

⁵ A fool despiseth his father's correction; But he that regardeth reproof getteth prudence.

¹² A prudent man seeth the evil, `and' hideth himself; `But' the simple pass on, `and' suffer for it.
