And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.
Now the child grew and was becoming strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Now the Child continued to grow and to become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the favor of God was upon Him.
For the one who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by other people.
Now the boy Samuel was continuing to grow and to be in favor both with the Lord and with people.
