knowledge is necessary for wisdom

the Bible has a lot to say about wisdom and reverence for God is where it begins. but such reverence alone will not bring wisdom. wisdom results when a respectful heart is united with a disciplined mind. knowledge is the fruit of study, and knowledge is necessary for wisdom.

combination of logic and experience
