John 7:49
But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.
1 Corinthians 1:20
Where is the wise? where is he who has knowledge of the law? where is the man of this world who has a love of discussion? has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 2:6
But still we have wisdom for those who are complete in knowledge, though not the wisdom of this world, and not of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing:
1 Corinthians 3:18
Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.
1 Corinthians 3:19
For the wisdom of this world is foolish before God. As it is said in the holy Writings, He who takes the wise in their secret designs:
1 Timothy 3:16
And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

Ephesians 5:11
And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;
Ephesians 5:12
For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.
Ephesians 5:13
But all things, when their true quality is seen, are made clear by the light: because everything which is made clear is light.
