because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what is the will of the Lord,

and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate,

be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee understanding in all things.
