Knowledge Insight, understanding, comprehension, knowing, grasping. A clear understanding of fact, truth, and duty. Knowledge must be sought with diligence. Matt. 11:29; 28:20; Eph. 5:17; Heb. 5:12-14

Virtue and Knowledge Courage (virtue) without knowledge can be misguided and dangerous (Rom. 10:1-3). Knowledge without courage is useless (James 4:17). Knowledge gives our virtue proper guidance, while virtue gives our knowledge usefulness and validation.

Abound In Knowledge: “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment” (Phil. 1:9).
