for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

or because of us by all means doth He say [it]? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading [ought] of his hope to partake in hope.

and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,

every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that [is] in righteousness,

that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.
