And forasmuch also as thou hast known holy scripture of a child, which is able to make thee wise unto salvation through the faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

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.

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

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and keep my commandments by thee, that thou wilt incline thin ears unto wisdom; apply thine heart then to understanding. For if thou criest after wisdom, and callest for knowledge;read more.
If thou seekest after her as after money, and diggest for her as for treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. For it is the LORD that giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He preserveth the welfare of the righteous, and defendeth them that walk innocently; He keepeth them in the right path, and preserveth the way of his saints.

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

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

O Timothy, save that which is given thee to keep, and avoid unghostly vanities of voices, and oppositions of science falsely so called, which science, while some professed, they have erred as concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. {The end of the First Epistle unto Timothy, Sent from Laodicea, which is the Chiefest city of Phrygia Pacatiana.}
