Again

Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

He cannot

Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.

He has made their eyes blind, and their hearts hard; for fear that they might see with their eyes and get knowledge with their hearts, and be changed, and I might make them well.

But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.

Give ear now to this, O foolish people without sense; who have eyes but see nothing, and ears without the power of hearing:

And he said to them in answer, To you is given the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.

Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
