The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

And unto man he said, 'Behold, to fear the LORD is wisdom: and to forsake evil, is understanding.'"

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of holy things is understanding.

Let us hear the conclusion of all things: Fear God, and keep his commandments, for that toucheth all men;

The fear of the LORD is the right science of wisdom; and lowliness goeth before honour.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do thereafter. The praise of it endureth forever.

"O ye children, how long will ye love childishness? How long will the scorners delight in scorning, and the unwise be enemies unto knowledge?

And that because they hated knowledge, and received not the fear of the LORD,

and then say, "Alas, why hated I nurture? Why did my heart despise correction?

A fool despiseth his father's correction; but he that taketh heed when he is reproved, shall have the more understanding.

A fool hath no delight in understanding, but only in those things wherein his heart rejoiceth.

He that believeth on him shall not be condemned. But he that believeth not, is condemned already, because he believeth not in the name of the only son of God.

And as it seemed not good unto them to be a known of God, even so God delivered them up unto a lewd mind, that they should do those things which were not comely,
