Then answered he and said, Whether this man be a sinner, I know not: one thing I do know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eves? He answered them, I have already told you, and ye did not hearken: why do ye wish to hear it again? will ye also become his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. We know that God spake to Moses: but we know nothing of this man, whence he is. The man replied, and said to them, Now herein is something very surprising, that you know not whence he is, though he hath opened my eyes. Now we know that God doth not hearken to sinners: but if any man be a devout worshipper, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

Then said Jesus him, Thou hast even seen him, and he that is now talking with thee is the very person. Then he said, Lord, I believe: and worshipped him.

whereby superlatively great and precious promises are freely given to us: that by these ye might become partakers of a divine nature, having fled far away from the corruption that is in the world through inordinate concupiscence.??5 And for this very purpose employing the greatest diligence, lead up in the train of your faith courage; and with courage intelligence; and with intelligence moderation; and with moderation patience; and with patience piety; and with piety fraternal affection; and with fraternal affection love. For if these things are in your possession, and abounding, they will render you neither inactive nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that hath no possession of these things, is blind, dim-sighted, sinking into oblivion of his purification from the sins of his former days. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make sure your calling and election: for by doing these things, ye shall never at any time stumble: but an entrance will thus be richly afforded you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
