1 30| XXX. OF FALSE WISDOM.~I have taught, as I imagine,
2 30| discuss the subject of false wisdom, which the philosophers
3 30| neither know God nor the wisdom of God. And although they
4 30| learned, yet, because their wisdom is human, I shall not fear
5 30| is the love or pursuit of wisdom. Therefore it is not wisdom
6 30| wisdom. Therefore it is not wisdom itself; for that which loves
7 30| If it is the pursuit of wisdom, not even thus is philosophy
8 30| philosophy identical with wisdom. For wisdom is the object
9 30| identical with wisdom. For wisdom is the object itself which
10 30| shows that philosophy is not wisdom itself. I will say that
11 30| not even the pursuit of wisdom, in which wisdom is not
12 30| pursuit of wisdom, in which wisdom is not comprised. For who
13 30| those who are studious of wisdom, after they had learned
14 30| they are called students of wisdom as long as they live, it
15 30| by chance they who pursue wisdom even to the end of life
16 31| were right in doing so. Wisdom is, as Cicero defined it,
17 31| this definition is true, wisdom does not come within the
18 34| this is justice. But since wisdom has been given to man alone,
19 34| deservedly and rightly said, that wisdom is the knowledge of divine
20 34| But the former belongs to wisdom, the latter to virtue; and
21 35| nothing to a happy life. For wisdom does not consist in the
22 39| If all should imitate the wisdom of these, how will states
23 40| Since, therefore, human wisdom has no existence (Socrates
24 40| we possess the truth and wisdom, which, though sought by
25 41| XLI. OF TRUE RELIGION AND WISDOM.~Now, since we have refuted
26 41| worship of the gods, and false wisdom, which is in the philosophers,
27 41| come to true religion and wisdom. And, indeed, we must speak
28 41| that and nothing else is wisdom. For that God who is supreme
29 41| because it does not possess wisdom; and on this account their
30 41| and on this account their wisdom is false, because it does
31 41| wise religion or religious wisdom.~
32 42| XLII. OF RELIGIOUS WISDOM: THE NAME OF CHRIST KNOWN
33 42| wise religion, or religious wisdom, is. God, in the beginning,
34 42| is the word of God, He is wisdom. With this artificer, as
35 42| especially Solomon in the book of Wisdom, and also his father, the
36 45| years before, in the book of Wisdom, using these words: "Let
37 49| follow true religion and true wisdom, which is in Christ, and
38 49| acknowledge the Father. This is wisdom, and this is the mystery
39 51| superstitions and with their wisdom, when they see that their
40 52| having undertaken e true wisdom, that is, religion, become
41 55| is at once justice, and wisdom, they lay to its charge
42 57| LVII. OF WISDOM AND FOOLISHNESS.~These things
43 57| malice bears a resemblance to wisdom, and yet it is not wisdom.
44 57| wisdom, and yet it is not wisdom. But as that malice is intelligent
45 57| own interests, it is not wisdom, but cunning and craftiness;
46 57| to the foolish man, nor wisdom to the unjust. He is not
47 57| be able to maintain true wisdom. And if it appears to men
48 57| highest faith; this is true wisdom; this is perfect justice.
49 69| as a Father, in whom is wisdom; they acknowledge Him, that
