¹⁸ for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God, ¹⁹ for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought;' ²⁰ where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless—

¹² Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus; ¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing—the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth— ¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
¹⁵ As many, therefore, as are perfect—let us think this, and if in anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

¹² Salute you doth Epaphras, who is of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,

¹⁴ and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.

² for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

¹⁵ this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly, physical, demon-like,

¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who did call you to His age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little, Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you;

² I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old,

⁶ Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time, And things reserved that ye knew not. ⁷ Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea, before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say, `Lo, I have known them.'

²⁵ At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes.

³⁵ that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying, `I will open in similes my mouth, I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world.'

²⁵ And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been kept silent, ²⁶ and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith—

⁴ according as He did choose us in him before the foundation of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him, in love,

⁴ in regard to which ye are able, reading it, to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ, ⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit— ⁶ that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news, ⁷ of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of His power; ⁸ to me—the less than the least of all the saints—was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news—the untraceable riches of the Christ, ⁹ and to cause all to see what is the fellowship of the secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all things did create by Jesus Christ,

²⁶ the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the generations, but now was manifested to his saints, ²⁷ to whom God did will to make known what is the riches of the glory of this secret among the nations—which is Christ in you, the hope of the glory,

⁹ who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times of the ages,

¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,

¹ Elders who are among you, I exhort, who am a fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ, and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker,

³ As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement of him who did call us through glory and worthiness,

⁸ And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land, whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world;

⁷ Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! ⁸ Who is this—`the king of glory?' Jehovah—strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle. <sup>9</sup> Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! <sup>10</sup> Who is He—this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts—He is the king of glory! Selah.

³⁴ And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot.

¹⁹ `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil; ²⁰ for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light, and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be detected; ²¹ but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been wrought.'

⁴⁸ did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

¹⁹ They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

³⁹ And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.' <sup>40</sup> And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?' ⁴¹ Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say—We see, therefore doth your sin remain.

⁴⁰ `He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;' ⁴¹ these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
⁴² Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue, ⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

²² if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin. ²³ `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father; ²⁴ if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father; ²⁵ but—that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law—They hated me without a cause.

³ and these things they will do to you, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

¹⁶ and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have known, his name made strong, even the faith that is through him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all. ¹⁷ `And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye did it, as also your rulers;

² and he said, `Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran,

²⁷ for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read—having judged him —did fulfil,

²⁶ for see your calling, brethren, that not many are wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; ²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong; ²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless—

⁶ And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age—of those becoming useless,

¹⁴ but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn—which in Christ is being made useless—

¹³ who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did it in unbelief,

¹ My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁹ How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,

⁴ Even from antiquity men have not heard, They have not given ear, Eye hath not seen a God save Thee, He doth work for those waiting for Him.

¹⁷ For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart.

²³ And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not mine to give, but—to those for whom it hath been prepared by my father.'

³⁴ `Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

²⁸ And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;

¹⁶ but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly, wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for He did prepare for them a city.

¹² Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the Lord did promise to those loving Him.

⁵ Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He promised to those loving Him?

¹⁹ we—we love him, because He—He first loved us;

²² Removing deep things out of darkness, And He bringeth out to light death-shade.

⁵ How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts. ⁶ A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —

¹⁶ Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in secret spake I, From the time of its being, there am I, And now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit.

²¹ And I—this is My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My Spirit that is on thee, And My words that I have put in thy mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy seed, And from the mouth of thy seed's seed, said Jehovah, From henceforth unto the age!

²² He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what is in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt.

⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

²⁵ At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst reveal them to babes. <sup>26</sup> Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee. <sup>27</sup> `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal Him .

¹¹ And he answering said to them that—`To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given,

¹⁷ And Jesus answering said to him, `Happy art thou, Simon Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal it to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

²⁶ and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit—not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord.

²¹ In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

²⁶ and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you of all things that I said to you.

¹³ and when He may come—the Spirit of truth—He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you;

²⁶ And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth us, we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable, ²⁷ and He who is searching the hearts hath known what is the mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede for saints.

³³ O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways! ³⁴ for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor? ³⁵ or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back to him again? ³⁶ because of Him, and through Him, and to Him are the all things; to Him is the glory—to the ages. Amen.

¹¹ for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the spirit of the man that is in him? so also the things of God no one hath known, except the Spirit of God.

⁸ for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; ⁹ and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings in the same Spirit; ¹⁰ and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit, dividing to each severally as he intendeth.

³⁰ and if to another sitting anything may be revealed, let the first be silent;

¹² for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught it, but through a revelation of Jesus Christ,

³ that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few words —

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit—

²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;

²⁷ and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

¹ A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass quickly; and he did signify it, having sent through his messenger to his servant John,

¹⁰ The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a stranger doth not intermeddle.

⁵ Counsel in the heart of a man is deep water, And a man of understanding draweth it up.

²⁷ The breath of man is a lamp of Jehovah, Searching all the inner parts of the heart.

⁹ Crooked is the heart above all things, And it is incurable—who doth know it?

³³ O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways! ³⁴ for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?

¹⁰ but to us did God reveal them through His Spirit, for the Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God,

¹ There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit;

⁵ For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit; ⁶ for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace;

¹⁵ for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba—Father.' ¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

³² He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things grant to us?

²⁷ but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be—all are yours,

⁵ Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,'

⁴ Ye—of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you, than he who is in the world. ⁵ They—of the world they are; because of this from the world they speak, and the world doth hear them;

¹⁹ we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie; ²⁰ and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

⁹ and the great dragon was cast forth—the old serpent, who is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray the whole world—he was cast forth to the earth, and his messengers were cast forth with him.

⁶ And he said to me, `These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

¹² for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it behoveth you to say.'

⁴ and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving them to declare.

¹⁴ and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know them, because spiritually they are discerned;

¹¹ If we to you the spiritual things did sow—great is it if we your fleshly things do reap?

³ and all the same spiritual food did eat, ⁴ and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was the Christ; ⁵ but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were strewn in the wilderness,

¹ And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant; ² ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols—as ye were led—being carried away; ³ wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus is anathema, and no one is able to say Jesus is Lord, except in the Holy Spirit.

² for he who is speaking in an unknown tongue—to men he doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in spirit he doth speak secrets;

¹⁹ speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

¹⁶ Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

⁶ A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge to the intelligent is easy.

¹¹ And he answering said to them that—`To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given, <sup>12</sup> for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him. <sup>13</sup> `Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor understand, ¹⁴ and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, ¹⁵ for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal them. ¹⁶ `And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear, ¹⁷ for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous men did desire to see that which ye look on, and they did not see, and to hear that which ye hear, and they did not hear.

²³ and he having turned, said to Peter, `Get thee behind me, adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

³ Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to see the reign of God;' <sup>4</sup> Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born, being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second time to enter, and to be born?' ⁵ Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the reign of God; ⁶ that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit.

⁴⁴ how are ye able—ye—to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that is from God alone ye seek not?

⁴⁴ no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day; ⁴⁵ it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the Father, and learned, cometh to me;

⁴³ wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

⁵¹ verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see—to the age.' ⁵² The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death—to the age!

²⁰ and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why do ye hear him?'

²⁶ but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, ²⁷ according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and I know them, and they follow me,

³⁷ yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing in him,

²⁶ `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

¹⁸ And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, `What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, `Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news,

³² And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;'

¹⁵ but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look ye yourselves to it, for a judge of these things I do not wish to be,'

¹⁹ but certain questions concerning their own religion they had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive;

²⁴ And, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice said, `Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;' <sup>25</sup> and he saith, `I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth;

⁵ For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit; ⁶ for the mind of the flesh is death, and the mind of the Spirit—life and peace; ⁷ because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself, ⁸ for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

¹⁸ for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is foolishness, and to us—those being saved—it is the power of God,

²³ also we—we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,

¹² And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that is of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

⁴⁴ it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

⁴⁶ but that which is spiritual is not first, but that which was natural, afterwards that which is spiritual.

⁴ in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who is the image of God; ⁵ for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus—Lord, and ourselves your servants because of Jesus; ⁶ because it is God who said, Out of darkness light is to shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

²⁰ and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the true God and the life age-during!

¹⁹ these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the Spirit not having.

¹⁶ and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth. ¹⁷ And the elders of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he hath not been willing, nor hath he eaten with them bread; ¹⁸ and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the lad is dead, for they said, `Lo, in the lad being alive we spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do we say unto him, The lad is dead? —then he hath done evil.' <sup>19</sup> And David seeth that his servants are whispering, and David understandeth that the lad is dead, and David saith unto his servants, `Is the lad dead?' and they say, `Dead.' <sup>20</sup> And David riseth from the earth, and doth bathe and anoint himself, and changeth his raiment, and cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and boweth himself, and cometh unto his house, and asketh and they place for him bread, and he eateth. <sup>21</sup> And his servants say unto him, `What is this thing thou hast done? because of the living lad thou hast fasted and dost weep, and when the lad is dead thou hast risen and dost eat bread.' ²² And he saith, `While the lad is alive I have fasted, and weep, for I said, Who knoweth? —Jehovah doth pity me, and the lad hath lived; ²³ and now, he hath died, why is this—I fast? am I able to bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn back unto me.'

¹⁷ and thy maid-servant saith, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so is my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and Jehovah thy God is with thee.'

⁹ and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart, to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who is able to judge this Thy great people?' ¹⁰ And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon hath asked this thing, ¹¹ and God saith unto him, `Because that thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast asked for thee discernment to understand judgment,

¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah is for those fearing Him, And His covenant—to cause them to know.

⁵ Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.

⁵ Whoso is keeping a command knoweth no evil thing, and time and judgment the heart of the wise knoweth.

¹⁷ if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or—I do speak from myself.

¹ And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren—`If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;' <sup>2</sup> there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question, <sup>3</sup> they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren. <sup>4</sup> And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them; <sup>5</sup> and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying—`It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.'

³ this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.

¹ And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly—as to babes in Christ;

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

³⁷ if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge the things that I write to you—that of the Lord they are commands;

³ but not even Titus, who is with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised— ⁴ and that because of the false brethren brought in unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under bondage, ⁵ to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection, that the truth of the good news might remain to you.

¹ Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness, considering thyself—lest thou also may be tempted;

¹³ till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ, ¹⁴ that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,

¹⁰ for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless—to a day of Christ,

⁹ Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding,

²¹ all things prove; that which is good hold fast;

¹ Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

¹² And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed is in itself) after its kind; and God seeth that it is good;

⁸ Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?

² To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?

² Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of God, let him answer it.

¹³ Who hath meted out the Spirit of Jehovah, And, being His counsellor, doth teach Him! ¹⁴ With whom consulted He, That he causeth Him to understand? And teacheth Him in the path of judgment, And teacheth Him knowledge? And the way of understanding causeth Him to know?

¹⁸ For who hath stood in the counsel of Jehovah, And seeth and heareth His word? Who hath regarded My word, and hearkeneth?

¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.

¹³ and when He may come—the Spirit of truth—He will guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and the coming things He will tell you; ¹⁴ He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will tell to you. ¹⁵ `All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to you;
¹⁶ a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the Father.'

⁶ I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given them, and Thy word they have kept; ⁷ now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast given to me, are from Thee, ⁸ because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have given to them, and they themselves received, and have known truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that Thou didst send me.

³⁴ for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?

³ that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according as I wrote before in few words — ⁴ in regard to which ye are able, reading it, to understand my knowledge in the secret of the Christ,
