All

Since the day we heard about you, we have not ceased to pray and make request for you. We pray for you to be filled with the [intimate accurate] knowledge (discernment) (recognition) of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding. (Philippians 1:9) (John 17:3)

Give me the wisdom I need to rule your people with justice. Help me know the difference between good and evil. Otherwise, how would I ever be able to rule this great people of yours?

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable (yielding), full of mercy and good fruits, without discord (partiality), without hypocrisy.

Teaching

We preach Christ to everyone. With all possible wisdom we warn and teach them in order to bring each one to God as a mature individual in union with Christ.

I am also persuaded about you, my brothers, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.

Comfort one another with these words.

Comfort each other and strengthen one another as you are doing.

Do not regard him as an enemy. Admonish him as a brother.

Lift up the hands that hang down, and the feeble knees.

In psalms

After they sang a song of praise to God, they went to the Mount of Olives.

How is it then, brothers? When you come together, every one of you has a psalm, has a doctrine, has a tongue, has a revelation, and has an interpretation. Let all things be done to clarify and offer understanding!

Speak to one another in psalms and praise and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to Jehovah.

Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.
