²⁹ "Behold, God works all these things, Twice, yes three times, with a man,

¹³ For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

¹¹ in whom also we were assigned an inheritance, having been foreordained according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his will;

⁶ There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all.

²¹ make you complete in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

²⁹ for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.

⁸ Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.

⁵ Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.

⁵ I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further."

¹⁴ For God speaks once, Yes twice, though man pays no attention.

¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls on men, In slumbering on the bed;

¹⁶ Then he opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,

¹⁷ That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man.

¹⁰ The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
