And he answering said to them that -- 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to these it hath not been given,

And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless,

but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,

and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing;

and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.

having made known to us the secret of His will, according to His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself,

this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and to the assembly;

and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news,

And the messenger said to them, 'Fear not, for lo, I bring you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people --

because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is Christ the Lord -- in the city of David,

And he said, 'To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.

Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God,

that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,

praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ, because of which also I have been bound,

having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience,

and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory!
