1 Korintus 3:18

3:18 Guard against self-deception, each of you. ¹  If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.

Galatia 6:3

6:3 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Galatia 6:2

6:2 Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Titus 3:13

3:13 Make every effort to help ²  Zenas the lawyer ³  and Apollos on their way; make sure they have what they need. ⁴ 

Yakobus 1:22

1:22 But be sure you live out the message and do not merely listen to it and so deceive yourselves.

Yakobus 1:26

1:26 If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.

Yakobus 1:2

Joy in Trials

1:2 My brothers and sisters, ⁵  consider it nothing but joy ⁶  when you fall into all sorts of trials,

Pengkhotbah 2:13

2:13 I realized that wisdom is preferable to folly, ⁷ 

just as light is preferable to darkness:

[3:18]  ¹ tn Grk “let no one deceive himself.”

[3:13]  ² tn Grk “Eagerly help.”

[3:13]  ³ tn Although it is possible the term νομικός (nomikos) indicates an expert in Jewish religious law here, according to L&N 33.338 and 56.37 it is more probable that Zenas was a specialist in civil law.

[3:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “that nothing may be lacking for them.”

[1:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “brothers,” but the Greek word may be used for “brothers and sisters” or “fellow Christians” as here (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 1, where considerable nonbiblical evidence for the plural ἀδελφοί [adelfoi] meaning “brothers and sisters” is cited). Where the plural term is used in direct address, as here, “brothers and sisters” is used; where the term is singular and not direct address (as in v. 9), “believer” is preferred.

[1:2]  ⁶ tn Grk “all joy,” “full joy,” or “greatest joy.”

[2:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “and I saw that there is profit for wisdom more than folly.”
