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

"So now, brethren, I commend you 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 are sanctified.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

to Him [be] glory in the church by 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 has loved us and given [us] everlasting consolation and 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 guard [you] from the evil one.

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

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle [you.]

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present [you] faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, [Be] glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

And I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of reputation, lest by any means I might run, or had run, in vain.

to which He called you by 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,

Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, 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 not to know anything 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 hidden [wisdom] which God ordained 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 ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

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

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

"for assuredly, 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.]

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

Then He turned to [His] disciples and said privately, "Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things you see;

"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."]

how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

which in other ages 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 this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace [that would come] to 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.
