so that I might reveal to you, firmly and with words of truth, in order to respond about these things to those who sent you.
The parables of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel,
to understand words of prudence, and to accept the instruction of doctrine, justice and judgment, and equity,
Just like the cold of snow in a time of harvest, so also is a faithful messenger to him who sent him: he causes his soul to rest.
He sought useful words, and he wrote most righteous words, which were full of truth.
But these things have been written, so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, in believing, you may have life in his name.
But sanctify Christ the Lord in your hearts, being always ready to give an explanation to all who ask you the reason for that hope which is in you.
I am writing this to you, so that you may know that you have Eternal Life: you who believe in the name of the Son of God.
