5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “according” →
A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised.
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it ? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it ? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?
Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
