And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time.
