Again, the kingdom of the heavens is, like, unto, a merchant, seeking beautiful pearls,—
For what shall a man be profited, though, the whole world, he gain, and, his life, he forfeit? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his life?
Coral or crystal, cannot be mentioned, Yea, a possession, is wisdom, above red coral;
Another parable, put he before them, saying—The kingdom of the heavens hath become like a man sowing good seed in his field;
And, they, slighting it, went off, one, indeed, into his own field, and, another, unto his merchandise,—

Vanity of vanities, saith the Proclaimer, all, is vanity.
Do not give what is holy unto dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,—lest once they trample, them, down with their feet, and, turning, tear, you.
and, finding one very precious pearl, departing, he at once sold all things, whatsoever he had, and bought it.
