¹² My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making ^(A)many books there is no end, and ^(B)much study is a weariness of the flesh.

¹⁹ And ^(A)we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention ^(B)as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until ^(C)the day ^(D)dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, ²⁰ knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. ²¹ For ^(E)no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God ^(F)as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

²⁵ Now ^(A)there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that ^(B)the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

^31 (A)but these are written so that you may ^(B)believe that Jesus is the Christ, ^(C)the Son of God, and that by believing ^(D)you may have life ^(E)in his name.

^39 (A)You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and ^(B)it is they that bear witness about me,

²⁹ But Abraham said, ‘They have ^(A)Moses and the Prophets; ^(B)let them hear them.’ ³⁰ And he said, ‘No, ^(C)father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ ³¹ He said to him, ‘If they do not hear ^(D)Moses and the Prophets, ^(E)neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”

^32 (A)He also spoke 3,000 proverbs, ^(B)and his songs were 1,005.
