Goodness » Good people
The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways, and a good man from his own fruits.
The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil things.
For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit. For each tree is known from its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they harvest grapes from a bramble bush. The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good, and the bad man out of the bad treasure of his heart brings forth the bad, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
A good man shall obtain favor of LORD, but he will condemn a man of wicked devices.
For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself. And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man. Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice, read more.
and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.
and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.
A man's goings are established by LORD, and he delights in his way.
Beloved, do not imitate the evil, but the good. The man doing right is of God. The man doing wrong has not seen God.
but glory and esteem and peace to every man who works good, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He shall maintain his cause in judgment, for he shall never be moved. A righteous man shall be had in everlasting remembrance. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings. His heart is fixed, trusting in LORD. read more.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, [even] until he looks over his adversaries. He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, [even] until he looks over his adversaries. He has scattered, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his son's sons, and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous.
There is nothing better for a man [than] that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God. For who can eat, or who can have enjoyment, without him? For to the man who pleases him [God] gives wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are his. And he changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings, and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's food, nor with the wine which he drank. Therefore he requested of the ruler of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God made Daniel find kindness and compassion in the sight of the ruler of the eunuchs. And the ruler of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink. For why should he see your faces worse looking than the youths that are of your own age? So ye would endanger my head read more.
Then Daniel said to the steward whom the ruler of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, Test thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink. Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the youths that eat of the king's food. And as thou see, deal with thy servants. So he hearkened to them in this matter, and tested them ten days. And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared finer, and they were fuller in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king's dainties. So the steward took away their food, and the wine that they should drink, and gave them vegetables. Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. And Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

Wisdom » The lord giving wisdom
Only LORD give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, so that thou may keep the law of LORD thy God.
Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom. And Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

My son, if thou will receive my words, and lay up my commandments with thee, so as to incline thine ear to wisdom, and apply thy heart to understanding, yea, if thou cry after discernment, and lift up thy voice for understanding, read more.
if thou seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures, then thou shall understand the fear of LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For LORD gives wisdom. Out of his mouth [is] knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright, a shield to those who walk in integrity, that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his sanctified. Then thou shall understand righteousness and justice and equity, [yea], every good path. For wisdom shall enter into thy heart, and knowledge shall be pleasant to thy soul, discretion shall watch over thee, understanding shall keep thee, to deliver thee from the way of evil, from the men who speak perverse things, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the perverseness of evil, who are crooked in their ways, and wayward in their paths, to deliver thee from the interloping woman, even from the stranger who flatters with her words, who forsakes the companion of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God (for her house inclines to death, and her paths to the dead; none who go to her return again, nor do they attain to the paths of life), that thou may walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the land, and the treacherous shall be rooted out of it.

But we speak wisdom among the fully developed, but not a wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age who come to nothing. But we speak a wisdom of God in a hidden mystery, which God predestined before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age know. For if they knew, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. read more.
But as it is written, What an eye has not seen, and an ear has not heard, and have not arisen in a heart of a man, are things that God prepared for those who love him. But God disclosed it to us through his Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of the man, except the spirit of the man in him? And so nobody knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God, so that we might know the things graciously given to us by God. Which things also we speak, not in things learned from mankind, in words of wisdom, but in things learned from Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things. Now the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is unable to understand because they are evaluated spiritually. But truly the spiritual man evaluates all things, but he himself is evaluated by none. For who has known the mind of Lord that he will stand with him? But we have the mind of Christ.
