In that time Jesus answered, and said, I acknowledge to thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for thou hast hid these things from wise men, and ready, [or wary, or prudent, or sly], and hast showed them to little children;
that it should be fulfilled, that is said by the prophet, saying, I shall open my mouth in parables; I shall tell out hid things [or things hid] from the making of the world.
But, brethren, I will not, that ye not know this mystery, that ye be not wise to yourselves; for blindness hath fallen a part in Israel, till that the plenty of heathen men entered,
as he hath chosen us in himself before the making of the world, that we were holy [or that we should be holy], and without wem in his sight, in charity.
that delivered us, and called with his holy calling, not after our works, but by his purpose and grace, that is given [to us] in Christ Jesus before worldly times;
and sought which either what manner time the Spirit of Christ signified in them, and before-told those passions that be in Christ, and the latter glories.
Therefore I, an even-elder man, and a witness of Christ’s passions, which also am a communer of that glory, that shall be showed in time to come; beseech the elder men, that be among you,
And God of all grace, that called you into his everlasting glory, you suffering a little [in Christ Jesus], he shall perform, and shall confirm, and shall make firm.
And all men worshipped it, that dwell in earth, whose names be not written in the book of life of the lamb, that was slain from the beginning of the world.
