¹⁵ As many, therefore, as `are' perfect -- let us think this, and if `in' anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God reveal to you,

¹⁰ I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be.

⁶ And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless,

³ For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding givest forth thy voice,

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

⁵ Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of God thou findest.

⁶ For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and understanding.

¹⁷ if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

¹³ If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!'

⁸ And a highway hath been there, and a way, And the `way of holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean, And He Himself `is' by them, Whoso is going in the way -- even fools err not.

⁵ Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own understanding lean not.

⁶ In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy paths.

⁵ and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are.

⁴ and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking;

⁵ and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

¹⁴ and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.

¹⁷ that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work having been completed.

¹² Salute you doth Epaphras, who `is' of you, a servant of Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may stand perfect and made full in all the will of God,

²⁸ whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus,

¹² Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

¹³ brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the things before stretching forth --

¹⁴ to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

²⁰ Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye perfect;

¹ And we ought -- we who are strong -- to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves;

⁴⁸ ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who `is' in the heavens is perfect.

⁸ Good and upright `is' Jehovah, Therefore He directeth sinners in the way.

⁹ He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth the humble His way.
