'Recognized' in the Bible
None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory;
But if anyone loves God [with awe-filled reverence, obedience and gratitude], he is known by Him [as His very own and is greatly loved].
There must, indeed, be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.
Even inanimate things that produce sounds—whether flute or harp—if they don’t make a distinction in the notes, how will what is played on the flute or harp be recognized?
But if anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
