Therefore I say this, and witness in the Lord, that you no longer walk about as the Gentiles also walk about in the vanity of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance being in themselves, on account of the blindness of their heart;
and not as Moses put the veil on his face, in order that the sons of Israel might not look forward to the end of that which was transitory. But their minds were darkened. For until this day the same veil remains in the reading of the old covenant, remains, not lifted; because it is done away in Christ; but until this day when Moses is read, the veil lies upon their heart:

Partaking » Who partakes with the lord
Endure unto chastisement; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom the father does not chastise? And if you are without chastisement, of which all have been partakers, then are you bastards, and not sons. Then indeed, we had fathers of our flesh who chastised us, and we endured: how much more then shall we submit to the Father of spirits, and live? read more.
For they indeed for a few days were accustomed to chastise us according to that which seemed right to them; but he made unto our profit, in order that we might partake his holiness.

Then I say, Did God cast away his people? it could not be so. For I am indeed an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God did not cast away his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says in Elijah, how he makes intercession to God against Israel? Lord, they have slain thy prophets, they have digged down thine altars: and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life. read more.
But what says the answer to him? I have left unto myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. Thus then there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election of grace: and if by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more grace. What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day. And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them: and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always. Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy. But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry: if perchance I may provoke my flesh, and save some of them. For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead? But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also. And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;
But what says the answer to him? I have left unto myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to Baal. Thus then there is even at this time a remnant left according to the election of grace: and if by grace, it is not at all by works: since in that case grace is no more grace. What then? Israel did not attain that which he was seeking, but the election obtained it, and the rest were hardened: as has been written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear, unto this day. And David says, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them: and let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back always. Then I say; Whether did they stumble that they may fall? it could not be so: but by their fall, salvation came to the Gentiles, in order to provoke them to jealousy. But if the fall of them was the riches of the world, and the depletion of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? But I speak to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry: if perchance I may provoke my flesh, and save some of them. For if the casting away of them was the reconciling of the world, what will their reception be, but life from the dead? But if the first fruit was holy, the lump is also: if the root was holy, the branches are also. And if certain ones of the branches were broken off, and you being a wild olive-tree are grafted in among them, and have become a partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive-tree;

And to Him give all the prophets witness, that every one believing on him receives the remission of sins through His name.

That was the true light, which lighteth every man, coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But so many as received Him, to them gave He the right to become the children of God, to those believing on His name: who were born not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The Word was made flesh, and tented among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten with the Father), full of grace and truth.

For as the Father hath life in Himself, so also He has given to His Son to have life also in Himself. And He hath given Him authority to execute the judgment, because He is the Son of man. Do not be astonished at this: because the hour cometh, in which all who are in their graves will hear His voice, and come forth; those having done good, unto the resurrection of life; and those having done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. I am not able to do anything of myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One having sent me. If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true. There is another who testifieth concerning me; and you know that the testimony which He testifies concerning me is true. You sent to John, and he witnessed to the truth: but I do not receive the witness with man: but I speak these things that you may be saved. He was a bright and shining light: and you were willing to rejoice for an hour in that light. But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works that the Father hath given me that I may perfect them, these works which I do, testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me. And the Father having sent me, He hath testified concerning me: never have you heard His voice, neither have you seen His face: and you have not His word abiding in you: because you do not believe Him whom He has sent. Search the Scriptures, because in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify concerning me; and you do not wish to come unto me, in order that you may have life. I do not receive glory with men; but I know you that you have not the love of God in you. I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me: if another may come in his own name, you will receive him. How are you able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and do not seek the glory which is with God only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father; there is one accusing you, in whom you have hoped. For if you were believing Moses, you were believing me; for he wrote concerning me. For if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
For as the Father hath life in Himself, so also He has given to His Son to have life also in Himself. And He hath given Him authority to execute the judgment, because He is the Son of man.

I do not receive glory with men; but I know you that you have not the love of God in you. I have come in the name of my Father, and you do not receive me: if another may come in his own name, you will receive him.

For if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?
Therefore indeed having assembled, they asked Him saying, Lord, do you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? He said to them; It is not your province, to know the times or seasons, which the Father placed in His own authority. But you shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost having come upon you, and shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and all Judea, and in Samaria, and into the extremity of the earth. read more.

And he holding on to Peter and John; all the people ran together to them in the porch called Solomon's, exceedingly astonished. And Peter seeing them, responded to the people; Israelitish men, why are you astonished at this, or why do you look upon us as having by our own power or holiness, made this man to walk about?

For these things, being in you and overflowing, render you neither barren nor unfruitful in the perfect knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ; for he unto whom these things are not present is blind, not seeing afar off, having received the forgetfulness of his purgation from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be the more diligent to make your calling and election sure: for doing these things you can never fall. For in this way an entrance will be administered unto you abundantly into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Therefore I will be about to always remind you concerning these things, even though knowing them, and being established in the present truth. But I consider it righteous, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by remembrance; knowing that the laying aside of my tabernacle is swift, as our Lord Jesus Christ also showed to me. And I will endeavor to have each one of you after my departure make mention of these things. For not having followed cunningly devised fables, have we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but having been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
