Wisdom is a way of life. In the Old Testament, the major thrust of wisdom is a code of moral conduct (Source).
In today's context, wisdom is to awake to the righteousness that Jesus the Christ from Nazareth died to give us. Having been awaken to our righteousness, there are things that we do and not do as the righteousness of God.
The motivation for doing and not doing certain things is not to get saved. Salvation is by faith. It is FREE; bought at the price of the blood of God's only beloved Son in Whom His soul delights and given to us FREE!
The impetus to live a life befitting the righteousness of God lies in our being the righteousness of God that Jesus the Christ died to make us.

Labor Pains
John 16:21-22 likened Jesus' disciples to a woman in labor.
1st Pregnancy Trimester
2nd Pregnancy Trimester
3rd Pregnancy Trimester
21A woman, when she gives birth to a child, has grief (anguish, agony) because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she no longer remembers her pain (trouble, anguish) because she is so glad that a man (a child, a human being) has been born into the world.
22So for the present you are also in sorrow (in distress and depressed); but I will see you again and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one can take from you your joy (gladness, delight).
John 16:33 is the epidural:I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]
This series of free pregnancy e-books serves to give an idea of the pregnancy experience. Very suited for men. May this series help in relating better to John 16:21-22 when we experience labor pains in our Christian walk. For a start, may it help the men love and appreciate their wives just that little bit more.
