²¹ It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.'

³³ Another simile spake he to them: `The reign of the heavens is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.'

⁶ Not good `is' your glorying; have ye not known that a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven?

²¹ wherefore having put aside all filthiness and superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted word, that is able to save your souls;

²³ and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

²⁴ stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do `it'.

⁹ and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

¹⁰ for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

¹¹ being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that `is' through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

⁶ having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform `it' till a day of Jesus Christ,

² every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

¹⁴ but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst -- to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.'

³ And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.'

¹⁸ And the path of the righteous `is' as a shining light, Going and brightening till the day is established,

¹³ Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.

¹⁴ Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

⁹ And the righteous layeth hold `on' his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And -- dumb are they all.
