6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away;
7 but we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the hidden {wisdom,} which God predestined before the ages to our glory;
8 {the wisdom} which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;
9 but just as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard, and {which} have not entered the heart of man, all that God has prepared for those who love Him."
10 For to us God revealed {them} through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
11 For who among men knows the {thoughts} of a man except the spirit of the man, which is in him? Even so the {thoughts} of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things freely given to us by God,
13 which things we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual {thoughts} with spiritual {words.}
14 But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.
15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no man.
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
(NAS)27 And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
(NAS)18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
(NAS)1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
(NAS)2 And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
(NAS)3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms {and} hymns {and} spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned, {as it were,} with salt, so that you may know how you should respond to each person.
(NAS)9 Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.
10 For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.
11 Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm {alone?}
12 And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three {strands} is not quickly torn apart.
(NAS)15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all {aspects} into Him, who is the head, {even} Christ,
29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such {a word} as is good for edification according to the need {of the moment,} that it may give grace to those who hear.
(NAS)18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
(NAS)24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
(NAS)12 For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.
(NAS)16 "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;
17 {that is} the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, {but} you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.
(NAS)26 "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
(NAS)16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and {that} your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give to you.
(NAS)13 "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.
14 "He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose {it} to you.
15 "All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He takes of Mine, and will disclose {it} to you.
(NAS)13 "But when you give a reception, invite {the} poor, {the} crippled, {the} lame, {the} blind,
(NAS)23 And He was saying to {them} all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
(NAS)1 Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them two and two ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.
(NAS)7 And He summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs; and He was giving them authority over the unclean spirits;
8 and He instructed them that they should take nothing for {their} journey, except a mere staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belt;
9 but {to} wear sandals; and {He added} "Do not put on two tunics."
(NAS)37 Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
38 "Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."
(NAS)24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
(NAS)18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
(NAS)14 Where there is no guidance, the people fall, but in abundance of counselors there is victory.
(NAS)22 Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed.
(NAS)18 Prepare plans by consultation, and make war by wise guidance.
(NAS)6 For by wise guidance you will wage war, and in abundance of counselors there is victory.
(NAS)8 Do not go out hastily to argue {your case;} otherwise, what will you do in the end, when your neighbor puts you to shame?
(NAS)17 Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
(NAS)105 Thy word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path.
(NAS)8 The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
(NAS)2 How blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit!
(NAS)9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good.
(NAS)19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members {as} slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in {further} lawlessness, so now present your members {as} slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.
(NAS)11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age,
13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus;
14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
(NAS)
