Acts 3: Action Speaks

And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. (verse 7)

2 Peter 3: Destruction of the Ignorants

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water. (verse 5)

2 Peter 2: Ignorance, Lesser Evil

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. (verse 21)

And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? (verse 18)

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. (verse 10)

For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. (verse 15)

Ignorance can only be silence by action, not by rebuttal.

1 Peter 1: Frailty of Beauty

For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away. (verse 24)
