Who are you to judge another's servant? To his own master he stands or he falls. And he shall be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.

So for the present, I entrust you, brothers, to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who have been sanctified.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly more than all the things which we ask or think, according to the power which is working in us,

to Him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and a good hope by grace,

comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.

But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and will guard you from the evil one.

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those coming to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

But may the God of all grace, the [One] having called you into His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little [while], may He Himself make you complete--He will establish, strengthen, [and] firmly ground [you].

Now to Him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to make you stand before His glory, blameless with exultation,

To the only wise God our Savior, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men according to my gospel through Jesus Christ.

But even if our gospel is hidden, it is hidden among those who are perishing,

And I went up by revelation, and I set before them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those with influence, lest somehow I might run, or had run, for nothing.

to which He called you through our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead according to my gospel,

And immediately in the synagogues he was proclaiming Christ, that He is the Son of God.

but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and to the Greeks foolishness,

For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.

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

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

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;

I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter dark sayings [which have been] from the beginning.

He reveals deep and secret [things]; knowing what is in darkness, and the light is with Him.

For the Lord God will do nothing without revealing instruction to His servants the prophets.

For assuredly I say to you, that many prophets and righteous [men] desired to see what you see, and they did not see, and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear."

so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things having been hidden from the foundation of the world."

And turning to His disciples He said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see what you see;

for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and they did not see [them], and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear."

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:

Concerning this salvation the prophets have sought out and inquired carefully, having prophesied of the grace [that would come] to you,

To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to you they were ministering these things, which things were now announced to you by those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things which angels desire to look into.
