²³ And it was not written on his account alone, that it was reckoned to him,

⁴ for, as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.

¹¹ And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come,

⁶ and those things became types of us, for our not passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire.

¹⁶ every Writing `is' God-breathed, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction that `is' in righteousness,

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

⁹ for in the law of Moses it hath been written, `thou shalt not muzzle an ox treading out corn;' for the oxen doth God care?

¹⁰ or because of us by all means doth He say `it'? yes, because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower to plow, and he who is treading `ought' of his hope to partake in hope.
