I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.

To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.

Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.

Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
