for even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it has been written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on Me."

but, as it has been written, "Those shall see, to whom nothing was announced concerning Him; and those who have not heard shall understand."

Salute Apelles, the approved in Christ. Salute those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

but, as it has been written, "Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, and that entered not into the heart of man??hatsoever things God prepared for those who love Him";

and those who use the world, as not using it to the full; for the fashion of this world is passing away.

My defense to those examining me is this.

Know ye not that those who are occupied upon sacred things eat of the things of the temple? and that those who wait at the altar partake with the altar?
