⁴⁶ who having found one pearl of great price, having gone away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it.

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

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,

²⁴ but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news of the grace of God.

²⁸ And Peter said, `Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;'

²⁹ and he said to them, `Verily I say to you, that there is not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the sake of the reign of God,

³⁰ who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the coming age, life age-during.'

²⁸ And Peter began to say to him, `Lo, we left all, and we followed thee.'

²⁹ And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for the good news',

³⁰ who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming, life age-during;

³¹ and many first shall be last, and the last first.'

⁴ If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures searchest for her,

¹¹ and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son;

¹² he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not having the Son of God -- the life he hath not.

¹⁴ And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath been crucified, and I to the world;

²¹ So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours,

²² whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be -- all are yours,

²³ and ye `are' Christ's, and Christ `is' God's.

⁶ And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah -- it `is' His treasure.

²¹ And the twelve gates `are' twelve pearls, each several one of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city `is' pure gold -- as transparent glass.

⁴⁴ `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth that field.
