The wise by hearing them will advance in
learning, the intelligent will gain sound guidance
the path of the just is like shining
light, that grows in brilliance till perfect day.
He who heeds instruction is on the path
to life, but he who rejects reproof goes astray.
By wisdom a house is built, and by
understanding it is established; 4
and by knowledge the rooms are filled
with all precious and pleasant riches.
My son, from your youth up choose
instruction, and until you are old you will keep finding wisdom.19 Come
to her like one who plows and sows, and wait for her good harvest. For in her
service you will toil a little while, and soon you will eat of her produce.
Search out and seek, and she will become
known to you; and when you get hold of her, do not let her go. 28 For
at last you will find the rest she gives, and she will be changed into joy for
you.
Now I, like a stream from a river, and
like water channeling into a garden
31 I said, “I will water my plants, I
will drench my flower beds.” Then
suddenly this stream of mine became a river, and
this river of mine became a sea.32 Again I will
make my teachings shine forth like the dawn; I
will spread their brightness afar off. 33 Again I will
pour out instruction like prophecy and bestow
it on generations yet to come.
Then the disciples of John came to him,
saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your
disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus
said to them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with
them? The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then
they will fast.
be strengthened with power through his
Spirit in the inner self
All I want is to know Christ and to
experience the power of his resurrection, to share in his sufferings and become
like him in his death, 11 in the hope
that I myself will be raised from death to life. 12 I
do not claim that I have already succeeded or have already become perfect. I
keep striving to win the prize for which Christ Jesus has already won me to
himself. 13 Of course, my friends, I really do not think
that I have already won it; the one thing I do, however, is to forget what is
behind me and do my best to reach what is ahead. 14 So
I run straight toward the goal in order to win the prize, which is God's call
through Christ Jesus to the life above. 15 All
of us who are spiritually mature should have this same attitude. But if some of
you have a different attitude, God will make this clear to you. 16 However
that may be, let us go forward according to the same rules we have followed
until now.
And so, from the day we heard of it, we
have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the
knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 to
lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every
good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. 11 May
you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all
endurance and patience with joy, 12 giving
thanks to the Father, who has qualified us[a]
to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Put on the new nature, which is being
renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
2 Peter 1:5-8
Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
