Revelation 13:18

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

Here {G5602} is {G2076} wisdom {G4678}. Let him that hath {G2192} understanding {G3563} count {G5585} the number {G706} of the beast {G2342}: for {G1063} it is {G2076} the number {G706} of a man {G444}; and {G2532} his {G846} number {G706} is Six hundred threescore and six {G5516}.

This is where wisdom is needed; those who understand should count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a person, and its number is 666.

Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.

Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
