and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

for truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.

Then he said to them, You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent since the world began,

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel,

to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.

Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect and full true knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

but has in due time proclaimed His Word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

And all these, having borne witness through faith, did not obtain the promise,

God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made complete apart from us.

Of this salvation the prophets have sought out and searched diligently, who prophesied concerning the grace towards you,

To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven; things which angels desire to look into.

having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone,

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,

Therefore, behold, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes: some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city,

Therefore also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,

And God has placed some in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that works of power, then gifts of healing, helps, governings, tongues of nationalities.

Not everyone is an apostle are they? Not everyone is a prophet? Not everyone is a teacher? Not everyone is a worker of power?

that you may remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ:

And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the Law,

But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak things originating from Himself, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will make known to you things to come.

While Peter pondered concerning the vision, the Spirit said to him, Behold, three men are seeking you.

Arise therefore, go down and go with them without hesitating; for I have sent them.

Then he said to them, You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another a word of knowledge through the same Spirit,

to another works of power, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another tongues of nationalities, to another the interpretation of tongues.
