4 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “wisdom” →
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
