Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might: ... but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD. -- The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom.
What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. -- In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. -- Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
Christ Jesus, ... is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctifi-cation, and redemption.
