Proverbs 13:16

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

For your obedience has come to all; I rejoice in you therefore, but I wish you to be wise for that which is good, and simple for evil.

Brothers, be not children in understanding, but in malice be children, and in understanding be perfect men.

Be not foolish therefore, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
