ÏÎ¹Î»Î¿ÏÎ¿ÏÎ¯Î±, ÏÎ¹Î»Î¿ÏÎ¿ÏÎ¯Î±Ï, á¼¡ (from ÏÎ¹Î»ÏÏÎ¿ÏÎ¿Ï), properly, love (and pursuit) of wisdom; used in the Greek writings of either zeal for or skill in any art or science, any branch of knowledge, see Passow, under the word (cf. Liddell and Scott, under the word).
Christian growth requires knowledge of God s Word. A little knowledge leads us to a full knowledge, which leads us to understanding, and the final result is wisdom. The Greeks had a basic word for knowledge, and that is gnosis.Gnosis could be described as simply a vertical list of facts. In 1 Cor 8:1, we find that gnosis by itself tends to puff up, or make proud. When God s Word commands us to grow in knowledge, the Greek word is epignosis, or a full knowledge.he book of James is the book of wisdom in the New Testament, and the book of Proverbs is the book of application in the Old Testament, and both are urging us to apply God s Word to our lives. Knowledge and understanding alone should not be the goal of our life.
