Աստվածաշնչի համարներ Discernment

And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

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.

We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken?

And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
