Who Is Wisdom?

1 Corinthians 11:1 HCSB

Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:11 HCSB

For it has been reported to me about you, my brothers, by members of Chloe’s household, that there is rivalry among you.

Wisdom = Jesus

Proverbs 1:20–23 HCSB

Wisdom calls out in the street; she raises her voice in the public squares. She cries out above the commotion; she speaks at the entrance of the city gates: “How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance? How long will you mockers enjoy mocking and you fools hate knowledge? If you respond to my warning, then I will pour out my spirit on you and teach you my words.

Proverbs 1:

Wake Up or Get Wrecked

Proverbs 1:24–27 HCSB

Since I called out and you refused, extended my hand and no one paid attention, since you neglected all my counsel and did not accept my correction, I, in turn, will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when terror strikes you, when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when trouble and stress overcome you.

Acceptance in Jesus = New Life

Proverbs 1:

Proverbs 1:28–33 HCSB

Then they will call me, but I won’t answer; they will search for me, but won’t find me. Because they hated knowledge, didn’t choose to fear the Lord, were not interested in my counsel, and rejected all my correction, they will eat the fruit of their way and be glutted with their own schemes. For the turning away of the inexperienced will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them. But whoever listens to me will live securely and be free from the fear of danger.”
