'Recognize' in the Bible

For since the world through all its [earthly] wisdom failed to recognize God, God in His wisdom was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached [regarding salvation] to save those who believe [in Christ and welcome Him as Savior].

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool [discarding his worldly pretensions and acknowledging his lack of wisdom], so that he may become [truly] wise.

If anyone imagines that he knows and understands anything [of divine matters, without love], he has not yet known as he ought to know.

But all believers do not recognize these facts. Some, from force of habit in relation to the idol, even now eat idol sacrifices as such, and their consciences, being but weak, are polluted.

Now if anyone is inclined to be contentious [about this], we have no other practice [in worship than this], nor do the churches of God [in general].

For the one who eats and drinks, [if he] does not recognize the body, eats and drinks judgment against himself.

If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, he should recognize that what I write to you is the Lord’s command.

But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.

For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore recognize such people.
