Be very Careful with the Greek word Sophos as meaning only wisdom as this is not exactly as easy as all the previous posts have listed. Its a two edged sword and it can't be assumed to be a one to one agreement with the English word wisdom.
Websters college dictionary (4th edition) defines sophos as (clever skilful wise) and it further defines Sophism as the practice of clever and plausible but fallacious argument or form or reason (the dialectic method). This was the type of reason used by those philos-sophos (philosophy or philosophers) such as Zeno (Stoic - or Porch) and Epicurus (Epicureans or Attic) sophists. Its the practice of the doctrine of being wise via the dialectic method (clever of wise argument).
The Greek word you are most likely looking for is idris which is translated knowing, and not sophos which is translated (clever skillful wise).
