Psalms 90:12

12 aSo teach us to number our days
that we may get a heart of wisdom.

Matthew 10:16

Persecution Will Come

16 bBehold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cwise as serpents and dinnocent as doves.

Romans 16:19

19For eyour obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you fto be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.

1 Corinthians 14:19-25

19Nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

20Brothers, gdo not be children in your thinking. hBe infants in evil, but in your thinking be imature. 21 jIn the Law it is written, kBy people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord.” 22Thus tongues are a sign not for believers but for unbelievers, while prophecy is a sign
Greek lacks  a sign
not for unbelievers but for believers.
23If, therefore, the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, mwill they not say that you are out of your minds? 24But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, 25 nthe secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, ofalling on his face, he will worship God and pdeclare that God is really among you.

Ephesians 5:15-17

15 qLook carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 rmaking the best use of the time, because sthe days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what tthe will of the Lord is.

Colossians 3:16

16Let uthe word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, vsinging psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, wwith thankfulness in your hearts to God.
