In the text
Matthew 5:22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.Matthew 7:26And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:Matthew 23:17Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?Matthew 25:2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.Matthew 25:3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:Matthew 25:8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.1 Corinthians 1:25Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.1 Corinthians 1:27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;1 Corinthians 3:18Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.1 Corinthians 4:10We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
