Proverbs 14:9, Hebrews 11:36, in context Hebrews 11, Isaiah 63:8, James 3:14, Revelation 22:14,15, Revelation 21:27,
Hopefully these are helpful
That's a nice name, every Karen I've known has been very kind, loving & a beautiful person.
Chris answered you with a great Biblical answer.
For the 1st time I thought of a "worldly answer " to this question as I saw your question & was beginning to read the response. So, I thought I should share my thought. The bigger the 'free' gift in this world the bigger the responsibility= a baby, a car, a house, property as land, a boat. Every gift has to 1st be received then there's caring for or neglecting the gift/s. Even small gifts like a card, pan, food, potted flowers or pet. Each can be little or much obligation. How then do we think there could be no obligation to salvation? Even a gifted vehicle needs gas & care in driving it or it's useless in the world. I first thought of a vehicle, but then house property etc. Even in this world if 'gifts' aren't tended to they not only can be lost, they can, when not properly maintained cause much damage & loss to others. Like negligence causing fire, in a house, car or property. With Salvation GOD even mentions how our tongues can be. James 3:5-18, James 1:26-27,
James 1:17, yet GOD's gifts are perfect. Unlike our worldly gifts.
Hopefully this is helpful & welcomed to your discussion
The Jerusalem Bible 1970 translation says"The life of the body is a tranquil heart,"
Hopefully these scriptures will also help. James 3:18, Proverbs 12:20, Isaiah 26:3, inside this translation
Proverbs 6
16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Exodus 20:16 - Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
1 Corinthians Chapter 6
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
James 3:
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Revelation 21:8 - But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers (aka drug dealers) and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Iniquity has many names. This is why Jesus came to earth to save us from our sins.
If we put ourselves in the Holy Spirits hands, it gets better almost every day.

King James Bible Online
Part 1 of 2.
In1 Corinthians 2:6-16, the natural man is compared to the spiritual man and the carnal man. Verse 14 says, "A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised" (NASB). This verse does not define the natural man, as such; rather, it uses the term to describe one who does not understand God's words and thoughts. The one who can understand God's words is a "spiritual" man (verse 15).
Dr. Henry Morris, in theNew Defender's Study Bible, gives this comment on verse 14: "The 'natural' man, still unsaved, cannot appreciate spiritual truths. He must first understand Christ's atoning sacrifice for him, but even that is 'foolishness' to him (1:18) until the Holy Spirit Himself convicts him of its reality ( John 16:7-11)." Basically, the "natural" man is one who does not have the Holy Spirit residing within him. As Jesus said, "Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" ( John 3:6).
Let's look at some other uses in the Bible of the wordnatural. InRomans 11:21we read, "For if God did not spare thenaturalbranches, neither will He spare you." In1 Corinthians 15:44-46, "It is sown anaturalbody, it is raised aspiritual body. If there is anaturalbody, then there is also a spiritual body. However the spiritual is not first, but thenatural; then the spiritual." Ezekiel 44:31speaks of anaturaldeath. Daniel 10:8speaks of anaturalcolor. James 1:23speaks of anaturalface, andJames 3:15states, "This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly,natural, demonic."
The Bible also talks about the importance of humility: 1 Peter 5:5
Teachers will be judged more strictly: James 3:1
Hebrews 10:26-39
I searched under wisdom & found these. Hopefully these are helpful in what you're looking for: I added a few additional.
Matthew 12:41-42, Luke 11:31-32, Luke 11:52, Ecclesiastes 10:1, James 3:13-18,
Ecclesiastes 1:18, Proverbs 17:16,
Job 11:6-7, Job 26:1-4, Job 28:28,
Psalms 37:27-31, Psalms 111:10, Proverbs 10,
Most verses on wisdom are how good & pleasant it is: Proverbs 19:8, Proverbs 23:4, Ecclesiastes 7:12,
favorite Philippians 4:8+9 mind you help me perfected ha ha not in this lifetime its still a day by day mental battle old man verses new creation. We all deal with the same dude. We keep putting off the old and putting in the new!
usage of words with semantic accuracy and your response will be the spirit reveals. The spirit is not
loaded with contention and strife with words, its supposed to be simple believing in the deliverance of
Jesus Christ. For me this is over and no response will make sense!
Matthew 10:28 And fear them not which kill the body but are not able to kill the soul: but fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Brother Dan the word translated hell in this verse is the word Gehenna.
The Old Testament refers to this as Hinnon, a valley outside of Jerusalem's walls, at the time Christ was on earth this valley was used as the cities dump.
The garbage and trash and the dead bodies of criminals were thrown here.
They had fire burning in that dump and worms were there eating the flesh of dead bodies. Where the worm never dies and the fire is never quenched.
Christ was using Gehenna fire to show how he uses judgement to destroy the trash and unwanted things in our lives.
That fire is now quenched and those worms are gone, because that dump site is now a city park.
If the translators had left the word Gehenna in the verse, as they left it in tact in the Old Testament, instead of changing it to the word hell. There would not be so much deception.
Brother Dan, the word Gehenna is used 11 time in the bible and translated as hell.
James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is it among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and is set on fire OF GEHENNA (translated hell).
Brother Dan, the WORKS in your body are not you WORKS, their God's works, you gave you life, for Christ's LIFE, now it's no longer you, but CHRIST IN YOU, doing the WORKS.
Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD which WORKETH IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
Jesus is the root, we are the branches, without me (in you) you can do nothing. I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE.
Brother Dan the old you (sinful flesh) no longer exist, it died on the cross.
1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin ......
Matthew 5:25 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body cast into GEHENNA (translated hell).
When Jesus was on earth Gehenna was the dump ground for Jerusalem where all the trash, garbage and bodies of dead criminals was dumped. It was on fire to DESTROY. Worms were there eating the dead flesh. As long as there was new fuel being dumped there, the worms never died nor was the fire ever quenched. It's a city park now, the is no longer worms or a fire.
Jesus was using Gehenna as an analogy, not something literal. If Jesus meant for you to take it literally, why aren't you missing eyes, hands and feet, that you have cut off and plucked out, to stay out of HELL.

None of the scriptures have anything to do with the CHRISTIAN HELL.
above and from below 14-16[incorrection usage of knowledge]. The word she biblically is at times used of the item
itself, I think of a man that loves something that's worked well i.e. car, tool etc. Wisdom she is worth great treasure to
those who love her and apply. It is very interesting that in nerse 17 there are eight manifested or shown in someones walk of Gods wisdom and 8 biblically signifies spiritual perfection. These are trsaits in people who endeavor to walk
in Christ Jesus via the spirit.
God Bless
The Apostle Paul to the Galatian church said if I or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel let them be accursed . First thing 2 Peter 1;20+21 No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation[that which is forthtold or foretold], second prophecy has already been given of whats going to happen in the world to unbelievers that is what the gospel is for.
If someone goes on t.v. and says God is telling him there's someone watching out there with weak heart and if 8 million people are viewing chances are someone with that condition will be listening. Once the words I'm not sure or it wasn't clear no dice the true God is always clear and specific, no confusion.
Revelation or specific knowledge from God will always fit with scripture James 3:17 also most revelation either to deliver a person to get them born again which is a glory to God or to protect defend and edify the church which is a Glory to God
Prayerfully this helps God Bless
In James 3:1, James starts out by saying "My brethren." So he's talking to Jewish believers. He says be not many masters. The word masters is the word teachers. And the word "be" is literally the word become in the Greek text. That is very important!
He is not restraining called teachers to teach. Our English bibles say be not many teachers, but in the Greek text, it is literally do not become many teachers.
He's talking about the ambitious ones who want to teach. In the synagogue, when it came to the reading of scripture, they would ask someone to come up and read the scripture and give a homily or a message on the scripture for that week.
And so people in the congregation would prepare all week long so they could be the teacher. So James says, my brethren, do not become many teachers, knowing that we shall receive (And notice the word "we" because James includes himself). James says we shall receive the greater condemnation.
There's more responsibility for those who teach. If a person is not called by God to be a teach God's word, they should not teach. A person should never go into the ministry out of their own human ambition. It has to be a calling from God. But as James is saying here, the teacher is going to held accountable for what he is teaching, and those who are in error are going to receive the greater condemnation.
I hope this helps!

Thank you for helping preserve and uphold Christian values in this positive community!
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:v.21
When the Devil speaks, his speech is accompanied by the death, or death comes together his speech simultaneously. Why? Because the Devil's speech changes the course of the nature, as is written in James 3:v.6-8:
6 The tongue is a FIRE, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on FIRE of HELL.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Romans 3:v.13-14
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
2 Corinthians 11:v.13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers (MINISTERS of Satan) also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
NOTE:
There will be two powerful Beasts in near future: The ancient Beast of sea-the Papacy-, and the Beast of earth(Israel) with two horns like a lamb(false lamb/false messiah), and he spake as Dragon.
