Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of king Herod, behold, there came certain wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

Then Herod called the wise men to him privately, and inquired of them exactly the time of the star's appearing:

Then Herod, when he saw that he was baffled by the wise-men, was very much enraged; and he sent and slew all the male-children in Bethlehem, and in all its borders, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had exactly inquired of the wise-men.

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

For ye see by your calling, brethren, that not many wise men according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

but God hath chosen things that are foolish in the eye of the world to put it's wise men to confusion; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;

Because ye are still carnal: for while there is among you envy and strife and divisions, are ye not carnal, and do ye not walk as men?

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise men:

not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

Servants, be obedient in all things to your lawful masters, not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but in uprightness of heart, fearing God; and whatever service ye do,

They are of the world; therefore they speak as men of the world, and the world heareth them.
