The meaning of the word 'condescend' is to voluntarily come down in humiliation to teach, not the connotation the word has today. If I am now able to understand the Bible with clarity because of my persistent study, I am to condescend to teach what I have learned. This means I am to learn to associate with others who may not study as much or know as much. I am to look for every opportunity to witness to the truth of God's Word no matter who I am around. I am not to avoid a certain class of ideologies necessarily because of their ignorance in full biblical knowledge. I am the one exercising pride when I avoid a group of people because they do not study as much as one should, but profess Jesus Christ as Deity.
