Understanding

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.

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

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.

He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

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.

Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulcher, and he saw, and believed.

For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

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.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
