# wise, wisdom
|
||
|
||
## Definition:
|
||
|
||
The term “wise” describes someone who understands what is the right and moral thing to do and then does that. “Wisdom” is the understanding and practice of what is true and morally right.
|
||
|
||
* Being wise includes the ability to make good decisions, especially choosing to do what pleases God.
|
||
* People become wise by listening to God and humbly obeying his will.
|
||
* A wise person will show the fruits of the Holy Spirit in his life, such as joy, kindness, love, and patience.
|
||
|
||
## Translation Suggestions:
|
||
|
||
* Depending on the context, other ways to translate “wise” could include “obedient to God” or “sensible and obedient” or “God-fearing.”
|
||
* “Wisdom” could be translated by a word or phrase that means “wise living” or “sensible and obedient living” or “good judgment.”
|
||
* It is best to translate “wise” and “wisdom” in such a way that they are different terms from other key terms like righteous or obedient.
