Bible Question: Does anyone have any insight that they could share with me regarding verses 4 and 5 of Proverbs 26? This has really thrown me for a loop. |
Bible Answer: I think Jesus gave us an example of the answer to this question when He answerd the the leaders trying to trick Him, not as they wanted, but answerd in wisdom. Luke 20:22 "Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" Luke 20:23 But He detected their trickery and said to them, Luke 20:24 "Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's." Luke 20:25 And He said to them, "Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." Luke 20:26 And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and being amazed at His answer, they became silent. |
