Cunning As A Snake And Innocent As A Dove

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves. - Matthew 10:16 (NASB1995)

Stay alert. This is hazardous work I’m assigning you. You’re going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack, so don’t call attention to yourselves. Be as cunning as a snake, inoffensive as a dove. - Matthew 10:16 MSG
