WISDOM ｜ 智慧

ENWISDOM. In its high and broad Scriptural sense, it denotes the right discernment of the soul's revealed relations, duties and needs, together with a willing application and heartfelt use of these God-given revelations in the right ordering of the spiritual life. Thus it concerns knowledge, feeling and conduct, and includes the action of reason, heart and will. It is to be used in the believer's own "growth in grace and knowledge," for his spiritual advancement and fruitfulness, and in his helpfulness to other souls—and thus in the promotion of the glory of God. In the Proverbs it is personified as a synonym of piety, of which "the fear of the Lord is the beginning" and the foundation (Prov. 9:10). Wisdom is the gift of God, by Christ: Prov. 2:6. For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. Dan. 2:21. He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding. Ex. 35:31. And He hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge. Eph. 1:17, 18. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling. 1 Cor. 1:24, 30. Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God . . . who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.

BSBProverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

中智慧。就其崇高而宽广的圣经含义而言，它是指：对灵魂所蒙启示的种种关系、本分与需要作出正确的辨识，并甘心地把这些神所赐的启示应用出来、由衷地用它们来把属灵生命安排妥当。因此它既关乎知识，也关乎情感与行为；它包含理性、心与意志三者的活动。它当被用在信徒自己『在恩典和知识上长进』之事上，为使他属灵上长进多结果子，也用在他对别人灵魂的帮助上——如此便促进神的荣耀。在箴言中，智慧被人格化，成为『敬虔』的同义词；而敬虔『以敬畏耶和华为开端』，也以此为根基（箴言 9:10）。智慧是神藉基督所赐的恩赐：箴言 2:6 —— 因为耶和华赐人智慧，知识和聪明都由他口而出。但以理书 2:21 —— 将智慧赐与智慧人，将知识赐与聪明人。出埃及记 35:31 —— 又以神的灵充满了他，使他有智慧、聪明、知识。以弗所书 1:17-18 —— 求我们主耶稣基督的神，荣耀的父，将那赐人智慧和启示的灵赏给你们，使你们真知道他；并且照明你们心中的眼睛，使你们知道他的恩召有何等指望。哥林多前书 1:24, 30 —— 基督总为神的能力，神的智慧……神又使他成为我们的智慧、公义、圣洁、救赎。

ENWisdom is proffered to all: Prov. 8:1-4. Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths . . . Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man. Prov. 1:20, 22, 23. Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets . . . How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? . . . Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. The righteous are its recipients: Prov. 2:7. He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous. Prov. 10:8. The wise in heart will receive commandments. Wisdom is imparted through the Word: Col. 3:16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. 2 Tim. 3:15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation. Wisdom is to be earnestly sought: Prov. 4:7. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Prov. 2:4, 5. If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. James 1:5. 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. And the psalmist's prayer: Ps. 90:12. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

BSBJames 1:5 Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

中智慧是向万人发出的：箴言 8:1-4 —— 智慧岂不呼叫？聪明岂不发声？她在道旁高处的顶上，在十字路口站立……众人哪，我呼叫你们，我出声想世人说话。1:20, 22-23 —— 智慧在街市上呼喊，在宽阔处发声……你们愚昧人喜爱愚昧要到几时呢？……你们当因我的责备回转；我要将我的灵浇灌你们，将我的话指示你们。义人是领受智慧的人：箴言 2:7 —— 他给正直人存留真智慧。10:8 —— 心中智慧的，必受命令。智慧是藉神的道赐下的：歌罗西书 3:16 —— 当用各样的智慧，把基督的道理丰丰富富地存在心里。提摩太后书 3:15 —— 并且知道你是从小明白圣经，这圣经能使你因信基督耶稣有得救的智慧。智慧当竭力寻求：箴言 4:7 —— 智慧为首，所以要得智慧；在你一切所得之内必得聪明。2:4-5 —— 寻找她如寻找银子，搜求她如搜求隐藏的珍宝，你就明白敬畏耶和华，得以认识神。雅各书 1:5 —— 你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求那厚赐与众人、也不斥责人的神，主就必赐给他。还有诗人的祷告：诗篇 90:12 —— 求你指教我们怎样数算自己的日子，好叫我们得着智慧的心。

ENPromised fruits and blessings of wisdom: Prov. 2:10, 11. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee. Prov. 3:13-18. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom . . . She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her. Prov. 4:8, 9. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee. Prov. 8:34, 35. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favor of the Lord. Hos. 14:9. Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them. Ps. 107:43. Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the Lord. James 3:17. 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.

BSBProverbs 3:17 All her ways are pleasant, and all her paths are peaceful.

中智慧所应许的果子与福分：箴言 2:10-11 —— 智慧必入你心，你的灵要以知识为美。谋略必护卫你，聪明必保守你。3:13-18 —— 得智慧、得聪明的，这人便为有福……比珍珠宝贵；你一切所喜爱的，都不足与比较。她的道是安乐，她的路全是平安。她与持守她的作生命树。4:8-9 —— 高举智慧，她就使你高升；怀抱智慧，她就使你尊荣。她必将华冠加在你头上，把荣冕交给你。8:34-35 —— 听从我、日日在我门口仰望、在我门框旁边等候的，那人便为有福。因为寻得我的，就寻得生命，也必蒙耶和华的恩惠。何西阿书 14:9 —— 谁是智慧人，可以明白这些事；谁是通达人，可以知道这一切。因为耶和华的道是正直的，义人必在其中行走。诗篇 107:43 —— 凡有智慧的，必在这些事上留心，也必思想耶和华的慈爱。雅各书 3:17 —— 惟独从上头来的智慧，先是清洁，后是和平，温良柔顺，满有怜悯，多结善果，没有偏见，没有假冒。

ENThe wisdom of the world, or "fleshly wisdom" (2 Cor. 1:12), in contrast with the wisdom from above: James 3:15. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish (corresponding with the three foes of the soul—the world, the flesh and the devil). 1 Cor. 1:21. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God. 1 Cor. 2:5. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Cor. 3:19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. Jer. 9:23. Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom. Rom. 12:16. Be not wise in your own conceits. Deut. 32:29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

BSBJames 3:15 Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

中属世的智慧，或称『属肉体的智慧』（哥林多后书 1:12），与从上头来的智慧相对照：雅各书 3:15 —— 这样的智慧不是从上头来的，乃是属地的，属情欲的，属鬼魔的（正与灵魂的三大仇敌相对应——世界、肉体、魔鬼）。哥林多前书 1:21 —— 世人凭自己的智慧，既不认识神。2:5 —— 叫你们的信不在乎人的智慧，只在乎神的大能。3:19 —— 因这世界的智慧，在神看是愚拙。耶利米书 9:23 —— 智慧人不要因他的智慧夸口。罗马书 12:16 —— 不要自以为聪明。申命记 32:29 —— 惟愿他们有智慧，能明白这事，肯思念他们的结局。
