The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,īut fools despise wisdom and instruction.īut the prudent considers well his steps.īut the prudent are crowned with knowledge.Ī prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, Of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.Ī wise man will hear and increase learning,Īnd a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
