Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father?’

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and don’t call on Yahweh?

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. I hid myself and was angry; and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.

He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

But they didn’t understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

Nicodemus answered him, “How can these things be?”

At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” There was division among them.

The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

For in him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily,

You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.

The testimony is this, that God gave to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

“To the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write: “He who is holy, he who is true, he who has the key of David, he who opens and no one can shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says these things:

But Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.

Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

The earth and all its inhabitants quake. I firmly hold its pillars.

They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

because they hated knowledge, and didn’t choose the fear of Yahweh.

The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don’t know what they stumble over.

Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

For the vineyard of Yahweh of Armies is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for justice, but, behold, oppression; for righteousness, but, behold, a cry of distress.

For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Therefore justice is far from us, and righteousness doesn’t overtake us. We look for light, but see darkness; for brightness, but we walk in obscurity.

But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.

But Yahweh is the true God. He is the living God, and an everlasting King. At his wrath, the earth trembles. The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.

You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.’

They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.

Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, “Isn’t Yahweh among us? No disaster will come on us.”

and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi, and refine them as gold and silver; and they shall offer to Yahweh offerings in righteousness.

Without a parable he didn’t speak to them; but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

They didn’t understand the saying which he spoke to them.

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, has declared him.

that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

How can you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God?

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

But we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.

We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is also a spiritual body.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Without controversy, the mystery of godliness is great: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, and received up in glory.

However God’s firm foundation stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are his,” and, “Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”

But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.

But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

They don’t know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

Evil men don’t understand justice; but those who seek Yahweh understand it fully.

Yes, the dogs are greedy. They can never have enough. They are shepherds who can’t understand. They have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.

Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who are wise will understand.

Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”

They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.

I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

The Jews therefore contended with one another, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

Now the natural man doesn’t receive the things of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can’t know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
