Know God to know yourself

What is the difference between wisdom and knowledge.

Knowledge is seeing and using your knowledge to perceive what it means.

1 Corinthians 12:1–3 NIV84

Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

When we take what we knew and turn it over to the Holy Spirit it becomes knowledge with understanding
