Romans 12:16

Feel ye the same thing together; not understanding high things, [or not savouring, or cunning, (or knowing), high things], but consenting to meek (or to humble) things, [following meek (or humble) fathers]. Do not ye be prudent with yourselves (or Do not think yourselves to be overly wise);

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In The King James Version
