Ignorance

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

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.

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:

But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
