Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

and said to them [of the council], Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.

But he answered and said, Every plant which my heavenly Father did not plant will be rooted up.

For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble;

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God; for it is written: "He that taketh the wise in their craftiness;"

So then ye may know them by their fruits.
