you shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out My hand to establish you upon it; except only Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

They went on and wept as they cast their seeds; but they shall surely come with exaltation, bringing their sheaves [with them].

But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Or does He say [this] altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, for it is written, that he that plows should plow in hope, and he that threshes, in hope should partake of his hope.

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out] in order that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

But I count myself as nothing; nor do I regard my life as valuable to myself, so that I may complete my course with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to bear solemn testimony to the gospel of the grace of God.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the coming glory to be revealed in us.

[so as] to know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of His soul, to show Him light, and to form [Him] with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and He shall bear their sins.

Thus says the Lord: Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, and let not the strong man boast in his strength, and let not the rich man boast in his wealth;

but let him that boasts boast in this: the understanding and knowing that I am the Lord that exercises mercy, and judgment, and righteousness upon the earth; for in these things is My pleasure, says the Lord.

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.

All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one fully knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone fully know the Father except the Son, and [the one] to whom the Son wills to reveal [Him].

And Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

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.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight."

And turning to His disciples He said, "All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and [the one] to whom the Son wills to reveal [Him]."

"If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now [on] you know Him and you have seen Him."

In that day you will know that I [am] in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

And these things they will do [to you] because they did not know the Father nor Me.

And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.

Because I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received [them], and they knew truly that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.

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

among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, so that the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine on them.

Because it is God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who shined in our hearts to give [the] light of the knowledge of the glory of God in [the] face of Jesus Christ.

to reveal His Son in me, so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

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,

To me, the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,

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;

that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height--

and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

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,

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Therefore, to you who believe, [He] is precious; but to those who are disobedient, "The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,"

As His divine power has granted to us all things [pertaining] to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him that is true; and we are in Him that is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

And why am I favored thus, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Even David himself said in the Book of Psalms, 'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand,

"Therefore David calls Him 'Lord'; how is He then his Son?"

Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they put Him."

And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

But such things as were gain to me, these I have considered loss for the sake of Christ.

Then Peter answered and said to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You. What then shall we have?"

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life.

For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men appointed to death; for we became a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

Even unto this present hour we both hunger and thirst, and we are naked, and beaten, and homeless.

being defamed, we encourage; we have become as the sweepings of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I [am] even more: in labors far more, in beatings immeasurably, in imprisonments far more, in deaths often.

Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have spent in the depth [of the sea].

in labor and hardship, in sleepless nights often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness--

For I am already being poured out [as a drink offering], and the time of my departure has arrived.

[This translation omits this verse.]

And the carcass of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezebel.

For when he shall seem to be established, then he shall utterly perish, and those that knew him shall say, Where is he?

Behold, I turn My back upon you, and I will scatter dung upon your faces, the dung of your feasts, and I will carry you away at the same time.

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure having been hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it, he went and sold everything he had, and bought that field."

who, when he found one very precious pearl, went and sold everything he had and bought it."

For we have become partakers of Christ, if indeed we hold fast the beginning of the assurance firm until the end,

that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, in order that you also may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
