⁸ And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit.

⁵⁷ and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ;

³² for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;

³³ but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.

¹⁵ and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return,
