Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.
Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance,
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.
Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.”
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
The wise lay up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool brings ruin near.
