This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Wisdom (φρονήσει)
Wyc., prudence. This is a lower word than σοφία, wisdom (see on Jam 3:13). It is an attribute or result of wisdom, and not necessarily in a good sense, though mostly so in the New Testament. Compare, however, the use of the kindred word φρόνιμος in Rom 11:25; Rom 12:16 : wise in your own conceits; and the adverb φρονίμως, wisely, of the unjust steward, Luk 16:8. It is practical intelligence, which may or may not be applied to good ends. Appropriate here as a practical term corresponding to disobedient.
Prepared (κατασκευασμένον)
Adjusted, disposed, placed in the right moral state.
