¹⁷ Because you say, 'I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing;' and don't know that you are the wretched one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;

³ For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

⁸ Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won't find in me any iniquity that is sin."

⁷ There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing. There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.

³⁵ Yahweh struck the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.

⁵ Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;' and their own shepherds don't pity them.

¹² When Jesus heard it, he said to them, "Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do.

⁹ "I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

²⁴ What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

⁴⁰ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, "Are we also blind?"

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, 'We see.' Therefore your sin remains.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

¹² I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'

³ "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.

¹⁵ "Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his clothes, so that he doesn't walk naked, and they see his shame."

⁹ For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

⁸ You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

⁹ For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.

¹⁰ We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.

¹⁰ The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

¹¹ God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

¹² lest, when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived therein;

¹³ and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

¹⁴ then your heart be lifted up, and you forget Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage;

⁹ Lest I be full, deny you, and say, 'Who is Yahweh?' Or lest I be poor, and steal, And so dishonor the name of my God.

¹⁹ Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger whom I send? Who is blind as he who is at peace, and blind as Yahweh's servant?

³¹ Generation, see the word of Yahweh. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? or a land of thick darkness? why say my people, We are broken loose; we will come no more to you?

⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.

²⁴ "But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.

¹⁷ Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, and rest on the law, and glory in God,

¹⁸ and know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

¹⁹ and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,

²⁰ a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.

²¹ You therefore who teach another, don't you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn't steal, do you steal?

²² You who say a man shouldn't commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?

²³ You who glory in the law, through your disobedience of the law do you dishonor God?

²⁰ True; by their unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by your faith. Don't be conceited, but fear;

²⁵ For I don't desire, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} to have you ignorant of this mystery, so that you won't be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

⁷ Both of their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
