^3 (A)And those who are wise ^(B)shall shine like the brightness of the sky above;^[a] and ^(C)those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

⁴³ Then ^(A)the righteous will shine like the sun ^(B)in the kingdom of their Father. ^(C)He who has ears, let him hear.

^33 (A)And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder.

³⁵ and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, ^(A)purified, and ^(B)made white, until ^(C)the time of the end, ^(D)for it still awaits the appointed time.

¹⁹ My brothers, ^(A)if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone ^(B)brings him back, ²⁰ let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering ^(C)will save his soul from death and ^(D)will cover a multitude of sins.

¹² For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again ^(A)the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need ^(B)milk, not solid food,

¹⁹ For what is our hope or ^(A)joy or crown of boasting ^(B)before our Lord Jesus at his ^(C)coming? Is it not you? ²⁰ For you are our glory and joy.

⁴⁰ There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. ⁴¹ There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.

^42 (A)So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.
