Before I continued I like to talk about this word "knowledge". In the Hebrew Scriptures ya·dha` a basic verb translates know. In the Greek Scriptures both gno´sis and e·pi´gno·sis are related the the primary verb gi·no´sko which means know as well.
I took this side step for a very important reason, sometimes the english language can get in the way of our learning of Jehovah, his Word and his Truth. In John 17:3 the thought of know shows taking in information only, but if we compare 1 Timothy 6:20 we are warned of false knowledge with the word "sience" in the King James Verson with Strongs on the SearchGodsWord.Org web site. Last if we compare it to 1 Corinthians 8:3 it shows a more personal relationship with God himself.
John 17:3 - gi·no´sko
NWT of the JW - "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ."
SearchGodsWord.org - "And this is (5748) life eternal, that they might know (5725) thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent (5656)."
1 Timothy 6:20 - gno´sis (click on word science in KJV of SearchGodsWord.org)
NWT of the JW - "O Timothy, guard what is laid up in trust with you, turning away from the empty speeches that violate what is holy and from the contradictions of the falsely called “knowledge""
SearchGodsWord.org - "O Timothy, keep (5657) that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding (5734) profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:"
1 Corinthians 8:3 - gi·no´sko
NWT of the JW - "But if anyone loves God, this one is known by him."
SearchGodsWord.org - "But if any man love (5719) God, the same is known (5769) of him."
Some say knowledge is power, I say how we use knowledge is widsom. Let us build our knowledge of Jehovah God with love, and so may love build between God and us as we take in knowledge.
