The More You Know, The More You Know

The idea that "the more you know, the more you don't know" is false when it comes to sound, biblical truth. Rather, the more you know, the wiser you become and that bears good, righteous fruit for those who BELIEVE it.

Pro 9:9  Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning. 10  The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

1Ti 6:20  O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” 21  for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you. 

Jas 3:13  Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 

Jas 3:14  But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 

Jas 3:15  This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 

Jas 3:16  For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 

Jas 3:17  But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18  And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. 

2Pe 1:5  For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 

2Pe 1:6  and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 

2Pe 1:7  and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 

2Pe 1:8  For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
