This is about thinking we know better than God.ĭid you notice in Proverbs 30 that the four things were small, but still exceedingly wise? True wisdom doesn’t come with age or with being a grown up… it comes from God and trusting His Word over our own thoughts and feelings. It is all about our own personal opinions. This word “wise” in Romans 12:16 is talking about how we size things up. The word “wise” in the context of this verse is from the Greek word phrḗn, and it means “personal perspective regulating outward behavior.” This word is also the root word of our English term “diaphragm” which controls key body functions from the inside out.

If you are a Christian these instructions are for you. In Romans 12:10-13 Paul give us a list of practical instructions on how we can “abhor what is evil and cling to what is good” as it relates to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Well you should cling to good just like you cling to these favorite things. What is something you cling to? Do you have a favorite blanket, pillow, or stuffed animal? Well you should abhor evil just like you abhor brussels sprouts. What is something you might abhor… maybe brussels sprouts? Read Romans 12:9 again and use the verse to fill in the blanks.

We are continuing our study in Romans as we dig into Romans 12:9-21… remember this study is meant to be used with the NASB translation. ![]()
