'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].

for [doubtless] there have to be factions among you, so that those who are of approved character may be clearly recognized among you.

If anyone does not recognize this [that it is a command of the Lord], he is not recognized [by God].
