Another parable He set before them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man sowing good seed in his field.
And unless the Lord had cut short the days, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the elect, whom He chose, He cut short the days.
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal until it was all leavened."

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all perception,
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.
