For this reason, behold, I send you prophets and wise men and scribes; and some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble call you;

for you are yet carnal. For, since envy and strife and divisions are among you, are you not carnal, and do you not walk as men?

I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.

See, then, that you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise men,

For your obedience has gone abroad to all men: I rejoice, therefore, on your account. But I desire you to be wise in respect to that which is good, and guileless in respect to that which is evil.

For it is a pleasure to you to bear with men of no understanding, since you yourselves are wise.
