Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flatters with her words (হিতোপদেশ 7:4-5)
The Word is there, to keep you from the snares of the devil; the seductions of the world, and the many carnal temptations that come your way. When the Word abides in your heart, and you obey the Word, then you will keep and protect yourself from the stranger. That’s why it’s important to spend time with Jesus and study the Word. Read the Word in the Holy Spirit, so that you shall understand what you read.
Only একটি নতুন সৃষ্টি, who is born of the spirit of God is able to understand the Word of God. The Word of God is a spiritual Book, and that’s why the Bible can only be understood in the Spirit.
Wisdom and understanding
Listen to the Word and stay obedient and loyal to the Word, and don’t depart from it. Take the Word, and treat the wisdom you get from it, like a sister. Call the understanding your kinswoman. Stay loyal to this wisdom and understanding, and see to them that they will stay with you.
When you do these things, than they shall keep you away from the strange woman (the world). You shall not give into her temptations, nor be mislead by the flattering of her words. But you shall stay loyal to the Word and keep on walking on the path of righteousness, which will lead to eternal life.
