So be very careful how you live. Do not live like people who aren’t wise. Live like people who are wise.Make the most of every opportunity. The days are evil.So don’t be foolish. Instead, understand what the Lord wants.

Avoiding a fight brings honor to a person. But every foolish person is quick to argue.

My son, accept my words. Store up my commands inside you.Let your ears listen to wisdom. Apply your heart to understanding.Call out for the ability to be wise. Cry out for understanding.Look for it as you would look for silver. Search for it as you would search for hidden treasure.Then you will understand how to have respect for the Lord. You will find out how to know God.The Lord gives wisdom. Knowledge and understanding come from his mouth.

They are the people who separate you from one another. They do only what comes naturally. They are not led by the Holy Spirit.

He replied,“ Because you have been given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven. It has not been given to outsiders.

Lord, we are living the way your laws command us to live. We are waiting for you to act. We want your honor and fame to be known.My heart longs for you at night. My spirit longs for you in the morning. You will come and judge the earth. Then the people of the world will learn to do what is right.

They went to the prophets and priests at the Lord’ s temple. They asked them,“ Should we mourn and go without eating in the fifth month? That’s what we’ve done for many years.”

I, Paul, am writing this letter. I serve Christ Jesus. I have been appointed to be an apostle. God set me apart to tell others his good news.

He told them,“ The secret of God’s kingdom has been given to you. But to outsiders everything is told using stories.

“ The kingdom of heaven is like treasure that was hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again. He was very happy. So he went and sold everything he had. And he bought that field.
