AC 10331 - Wisdom, Intelligence, knowledge, Work

AC 10331 [2-3]

. . . he is wise who does truths from love;
he is intelligent who does them from faith;
he has knowledge who does them from knowledge;
and “work” denotes that which is done from all these;
thus “work” denotes their effect
in which they conjoin themselves together.

Wherefore in the genuine sense
no one can be called wise,
nor intelligent,
nor as possessing knowledge,
who does not do these things.
For wisdom and intelligence and knowledge
are all of life,
and not of doctrine without life;
for the life is the end for the sake of which these are.
Such therefore as is the end,
such are the wisdom,
the intelligence,
and the knowledge.
If the end is genuine good,
which is the good of love to the Lord
and of charity toward the neighbor,
then there are wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge
in their proper sense;
for then they are with the person from the Lord.
