What are some Bible verses about philosophy?

Answer  
  

Colossians 2:8  

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.  
  

1 Corinthians 2:13  

And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.  
  

1 Timothy 6:20  

O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,”  
  

Titus 3:9\-10  

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless. As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him,  
  

1 Corinthians 2:1\-5  

And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.  
  

1 Corinthians 1:21  

For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe.  
  

1 Corinthians 2:6\-10  

Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.  
  

Acts 17:18  

Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, “What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.  
  

Proverbs 25:2  

It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.  
  

Colossians 2:16\-19  

Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.  
  

James 2:19  

You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!  
  

1 John 4:1  

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.  
  

Romans 1:19  

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.  
  

1 Corinthians 1:22  

For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom,  
  

Romans 6:23  

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.”  
  

Matthew 10:28  

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.  
  

Genesis 1:1  

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  
  

1 Corinthians 1:17  

For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.  
  

John 3:18  

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
