KNOWLEDGE
A Gift of the Holy Spirit
Genesis 2
9
And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground--trees that were pleasing
to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
17

it you will surely die."

better men and more upright than he.

wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked
for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you
king,
12
therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, riches
and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have."

delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD,

has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge."
18
For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.
21
For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he
owns to someone who has not worked for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
26
To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner
he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who
