Therefore chasten thou us, O LORD; but with favour, and not in thy wrath. Bring us not utterly to naught.

He that nurtureth the Heathen, and teacheth a man knowledge, shall not he punish? The LORD knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are but vain.

The LORD hath chastened and corrected me; but he hath not given me over unto death.

If ye shall endure chastening, God offereth himself unto you, as unto sons. What son is that whom the father chasteneth not? If ye be not under correction - whereof all are partakers - then are ye bastards and not sons. Moreover, seeing we had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: should we not much rather be in subjection unto the father of spiritual gifts that we might live? read more.
And they verily for a few days nurtured us after their own pleasure; but he learneth us unto that which is profitable, that we might receive of his holiness.



O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be helped. How long shall thy noisesome thoughts remain with thee?


And beware that there be not a point of Belial in thine heart, that thou wouldest say, 'The seventh year, the year of freedom is at hand,' and therefore it grieve thee to look on thy poor brother and givest him nought and he then cry unto the LORD against thee and it be sin unto thee.




for he doth as a man that pescribeth a measure in his heart. He sayeth unto thee, "Eat and drink," whereas his heart is not with thee.

For I will come to gather all people and tongues with their works and imaginations: these shall come, and see my glory.

If any man be wise and endued with learning among you, let him show the works of his good conversation in meekness that is coupled with wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, rejoice not: neither be liars against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above: but is earthy, and natural, and devilish. read more.
For where envying and strife is, there is unstableness, and all manner of evil works:

Therefore thus sayeth the LORD, "Forsomuch as this people, when they be in trouble, do honor me with their mouth, and with their lips, whereas their heart nevertheless is far from me; and the fear which they owe unto me, that turn they to men's laws and doctrines; therefore will I also show unto this people a marvelous, terrible, and great thing - Namely this: I will destroy the wisdom of their wise, and the understanding of their learned men shall perish."


That we speak of is wisdom among them that are perfect - not the wisdom of this world, neither of the rulers of this world, which goeth to nought -

For the preaching of the cross is, to them that perish, foolishness: but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will cast away the understanding of the prudent." Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the searcher of this world? Hath not God made the wisdom of this world foolishness?

Let no man deceive himself. If any man seem wise among you, let him be a fool in this world, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He compasseth the wise in their craftiness." And again, "God knoweth the thoughts of the wise that they be vain." read more.
Therefore let no man rejoice in men. For all things are yours, whether it be Paul, either Apollos, either Cephas: whether it be the world, or life, either death, whether they be present things or things to come: all are yours, and ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
