Hoe lief het ek u wet; dit is my bepeinsing die hele dag. U gebooie maak my wyser as my vyande, want hulle is myne vir ewig. Ek is verstandiger as al my leermeesters, want u getuienisse is my bepeinsing. Ek het meer verstand as die ou mense, want ek bewaar u bevele. 
(Ps. 119:97-100 Afrikaans OV)

O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. 
(Psa 119:97-100 KJV)

Ondersoek julself of julle in die geloof is; stel julself op die proef. Of is julle nie seker van julself dat Jesus Christus in julle is nie—as julle ten minste nie verwerplik is nie! 
(2 Kor. 13:5 Afrikaans OV)

Ek is met Christus gekruisig, en ék leef nie meer nie, maar Christus leef in my. En wat ek nou in die vlees lewe, leef ek deur die geloof in die Seun van God wat my liefgehad het en Homself vir my oorgegee het. 
(Gal. 2:20 Afrikaans OV)

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? 
(2Co 13:5 KJV)

I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 
(Gal 2:20 KJV)

En toe hulle die vrymoedigheid van Petrus en Johannes sien en verstaan dat hulle ongeleerde en eenvoudige manne was, was hulle verwonderd en het hulle as metgeselle van Jesus herken. (Hand. 4:13 Afrikaans OV)

En hulle het hul geroep en hulle bevel gegee om in die geheel nie in die Naam van Jesus te spreek of te leer nie. Toe antwoord Petrus en Johannes en sê vir hulle: Of dit reg is voor God om julle meer gehoorsaam te wees as God, moet julle self beslis; want vir ons is dit onmoontlik om nie te spreek oor wat ons gesien en gehoor het nie. (Hand. 4:18-20 Afrikaans OV)

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.  (Act 4:13 KJV) 

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. (Act 4:18-20 KJV)

Kom na My toe, almal wat vermoeid en belas is, en Ek sal julle rus gee. Neem my juk op julle en leer van My, want Ek is sagmoedig en nederig van hart, en julle sal rus vind vir julle siele; want my juk is sag en my las is lig. 
(Matt. 11:28-30 Afrikaans OV)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 
(Mat 11:28-30 KJV)

Laat niemand homself mislei nie: as iemand meen dat hy wys is onder julle in hierdie wêreld, laat hom dwaas word, sodat hy wys kan word; want die wysheid van hierdie wêreld is dwaasheid by God; want daar is geskrywe: Hy wat die wyse mense in hulle listigheid vang; en verder: Die Here ken die gedagtes van die wyse mense, dat dit nietig is. 
(1 Kor. 3:18-20 Afrikaans OV)

In dieselfde uur het Jesus Hom in die gees verheug en gesê: Ek loof U, Vader, Here van die hemel en die aarde, dat U hierdie dinge verberg het vir wyse en verstandige ("slim en geleerde") mense en dit aan kindertjies geopenbaar het. Ja, Vader, want so was dit u welbehae. 
(Luk. 10:21 Afrikaans OV)

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 
(1Co 3:18-20 KJV)

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. 
(Luk 10:21 KJV)
