Chastisement » The lord chastening
You must submit to it as discipline. God is dealing with you as his sons. For where is there a son whom his father does not discipline? But if you have none of that discipline which all sons undergo, you are illegitimate children, and not true sons. When our earthly fathers disciplined us we treated them with respect; should we not far more submit to the Father of our spirits, and so have life? read more.
For they disciplined us for a short time and as they thought proper, but he does it for our good, to make us share his holiness.

Wisdom » The wisdom of the world
What wise, intelligent man is there among you? Let him show by his good life that what he does is done in the humility of wisdom. But if you cherish bitter feelings of jealousy and rivalry in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus belie the truth. Such wisdom does not come from above. It is earthly, animal, demon-like. read more.

Verse Concepts
For to those who are on the way to destruction, the story of the cross is nonsense, but to us who are to be saved, it means all the power of God. For the Scripture says, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And I will thwart the shrewdness of the shrewd!" Where now is your philosopher? Your scribe? Your reasoner of today? Has not God made a fool of the world's wisdom?
Let no one of you deceive himself. If any one of you imagines that he is wiser than the rest of you, in what this world calls wisdom, he had better become a fool, so as to become really wise. For this world's wisdom is foolishness to God. For the Scripture says, "He who catches the wise with their own cunning," and "The Lord knows that the deliberations of the wise are fruitless." read more.
