At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them to babes.

Yes, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight.

Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal [this] to you, but My Father who is in heaven.

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in the way.

The meek will He guide in judgment; the meek will He teach His ways.

The Lord is the strength of them that fear Him; and His covenant is to manifest [truth] to them.

For the Lord has made you to drink a spirit of deep sleep; and He shall close their eyes, and [the eyes] of their prophets and of their rulers, who see secret things.

There shall be there a pure way, and it shall be called a holy way; and there shall not pass by there any unclean person, neither shall there be there an unclean way; but the dispersed shall walk on it, and they shall not go astray.

And He said to them, "Unto you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come to be [spoken] in parables,

And He said, "To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest [they are] in parables, that 'Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.'

And the [woman] had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and was listening to His word.

And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.

If anyone desires to do His will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking on My own authority.

And a certain woman named Lydia, a dealer of purple cloth of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us, whose heart The Lord opened to give heed to the things spoken by Paul.

And these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all readiness, each day examining the Scriptures [to see] whether these things might be so.

Therefore many of them believed, and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men.

But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? And if you did indeed receive [what you have], why do you boast as though you did not receive it?

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.

Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

Exercising His will He begat us by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

And [as for] you, the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

[] Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to [the] revelation of [the] mystery kept secret since the world began,

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the [wisdom] having been hidden, which God foreordained before the ages for our glory,

Let a man so consider us, as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

And though I have [the gift of] prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all die, but we shall all be changed--

having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

the eyes of your heart having been enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery, just as I wrote before briefly,

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

of which I became a minister according to the free gift of the grace of God which was given to me according to the working of His power.

and to enlighten all [as to] what is the administration of the mystery, which had been hidden from the ages in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ;

This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and to the church.

and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, in the opening of my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

the mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from generations, but now was revealed to His saints.

To whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the nations, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory;

that their hearts may be encouraged, being joined together in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to a full knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ,

holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among [the] Gentiles, believed on in the world, [and] was received up in glory.
