Remember that chapters and verses were added later on for easy
reference so the scripture you are reading most likely goes with the
scriptures around it. Therefore you need to read what it says before and
after that scripture.
If you come to a scripture you don't
understand, don't try to figure it out with your mind. Ask the Holy
Spirit to help you and go back to that scripture at a later date and
re-read it.
Last, don't ever assume or guess what a scriptures
means. It's better to say that you don't know then lead someone down the
wrong path.
Buy a Bible that is easy for you to
understand. If King James and New King James are difficult, I recommend
the Amplified or New Living Translation.

Wisdom
The most
startling thing that we discovered was that the brain cannot give
wisdom. The five senses cannot give wisdom. We know that wisdom is the
ability to use knowledge to advantage. From whence did this ability
come? Then I saw that the recreated human spirit has access to wisdom
and certain kinds of ability that the natural human spirit does not
have. I saw that love is a product of the
recreated human spirit. It was hard for me to realize that the natural
human heart cannot produce a love similar to the love of the recreated
human spirit. I saw that what we call natural human love is born of
selfishness. Natural man is governed almost entirely by selfishness. His
ambitions are born largely of selfishness.
Then the question arose, "Why is it that the recreated human spirit has a new kind of love?" The answer was obvious. God recreated the human spirit by imparting His own nature to it. The recreated man has God's nature and ability. Then I understood 1 Cor. 1:30, "Christ is made unto us wisdom from God." I saw that the keynote of Paul's prayer in Ephesians and Colossians was that we might have wisdom. I discovered that there are two kinds of wisdom. There is the wisdom that Satan gives to man; it is a cunning, subtle, devilish type of wisdom. We see it in the world today, manifesting itself in lying, deceit, and crooked dealing. No heathen country has God's wisdom or ability.
Satan is a liar and the father of lies. When he gives to man his ability, it will be a deceptive, dishonest ability. Only in the recreated human spirit do we find God's wisdom and ability.
