⁹ for in part we know, and in part we prophecy;

¹² for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as also I was known;

² and if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet known anything according as it behoveth `him' to know;

² beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;

² 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,

³ in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,

¹⁸ that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the saints, what `is' the breadth, and length, and depth, and height,

¹⁹ to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the knowledge, that ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God;

⁸ to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news -- the untraceable riches of the Christ,

⁹ but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not up, what God did prepare for those loving Him --'

³⁴ for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become His counsellor?

²⁷ `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal `Him'.

⁴ Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What `is' His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!

⁶ Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high, I am not able for it.

⁵ Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.

⁷ By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?

⁸ Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?

¹⁰ concerning which salvation seek out and search out did prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy,

¹¹ searching in regard to what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these,

¹² to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us they were ministering these, which now were told to you (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire to bend looking.

¹⁴ Lo, these `are' the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
