The Book of Proverbs Chap. 4 : 7 states:

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.


The Epistle of James Chap. 1 : 5 states:

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

It is contained written in verse 6 of The Epistle of James Chap. 1:

"But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering."


Ecclesiasticus (Sira) Chap. 1 : 26 states:

If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.


Psalms Chap. 111 : 10 states:

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.


To Christians:

The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Chap. 2 : 9-11 states:

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.


(To all:

The Gospel according to John Chap. 3 : 3-8(verse 3 showing Jesus speaking unto Nicodemus, which occurred in a time far past) states:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


Peter said long ago on the Day of Pentecost, as it is found written in Acts Chap. 2 : 36-39:

Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.


Christ Jesus said in a time far past, as it is found written in the Book of Mark Chap. 16 : 16:

He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. )


To Christians, continuing:

The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Chap. 2 : 12-14 states:

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


To All:

The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Chap. 3 : 18 states:

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

It is contained written in verse 19 of The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Chap. 3:

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God."



Serve and attempt to serve the One True God(the Lord of Hosts is his name) through Christ: we receive by grace: getting things we neither worked for, nor deserve: God is Good and provides for his children. One whom is saved works because they're saved(we are created in Christ Jesus unto good works), not to BE saved- one is saved by grace(through faith in Jesus Christ: he died for our sins, and rose again the third day: overcoming death, and the world, Jesus Christ is salvation and eternal life): it is a gift of God, not of works.


Christ Jesus said in a time far past, as it is written in The Gospel according to Matthew Chap. 11 : 27-30:

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


Consider what's written in:

The First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians Chap. 7 : 21-23(New International Version):

Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so.
22 For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave.
23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.


Christ Jesus said in a time far past, as it is written in The Gospel according to Matthew Chap. 6 : 24:

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.


The Book of Psalms Chap. 146 : 3-10 states:

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.


The Book of Jeremiah(NewAmericanStandardBible Translation) Chap. 17 : 7-8 states:

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD
And whose trust is the LORD.
8 “For he will be like a tree planted by the water,
That extends its roots by a stream
And will not fear when the heat comes;
But its leaves will be green,
And it will not be anxious in a year of drought
Nor cease to yield fruit.
