*1* “The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.” *2* “For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” *3* “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” *4* “Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.”
