Bible Questions Answered: Truth-Buy The

Bible Questions Answered:
What is meant in Proverbs 'buy the truth and sell it not?
Maryln/ Modesto, California

Bible Answer:

Text:
Proverbs 23:23 KJV
Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.

Solomon, exhorts us, that we should long for that which is truth, wisdom, instruction and understanding.

We may be able to buy information, but wisdom never. Wisdom is the result of truths embraced by understanding. To achieve any measure of success in the world or with God, one must embrace truth, and sell it not, i.e. value it greatly.

Again Solomon says...

Proverbs 4:5-7 KJV
5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

Truth:

Psalm 86:11 KJV
Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth..."

John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

Ephesians 6:14 KJV
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Wisdom:

Psalm 111:10 KJV
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth for ever.

Proverbs 2:6 KJV
For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

Hosea 14:9 KJV
Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.

Matthew 7:24-27 KJV
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

II Timothy 3:15-17 KJV
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

James 3:17 KJV
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Instruction:

Proverbs 6:20-23 KJV
20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

Proverbs 12:1 KJV
Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge..."

Matthew 5:2 KJV
And He opened His mouth, and taught them..."

John 6:45 KJV
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.

Ephesians 4:21 KJV
If so be that ye have heard Him, and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Understanding:

Psalm 119:104,105 KJV
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Proverbs 2:1-11 KJV
1 My son, if thou wilt receive My words, and hide My commandments with thee;
2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: He is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints.
9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Proverbs 8:14 KJV
Counsel is Mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

Colossians 1:9 KJV
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

II Timothy 2:7 NLT
Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.

I John 5:20 KJV
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is True, and we are in Him that is True, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the True God, and eternal life.

When we are willing to “buy the truth and sell it not,” we will be willing to sacrifice for our love of it.
It is then that we will realize above all else, that to love the truth, is to embrace the Lord Jesus, who is “the way, the truth, and the life.”

No man will ever be able to come unto the Father but by Him.
