¹¹ We are all sons of one man. We are honest men. Your servants have never been spies.”

⁴ but ^(A)as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: ^(B)by great endurance, ^(C)in afflictions, ^(D)hardships, calamities,

¹⁹ if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined where you are in custody, and let the rest go and carry ^(A)grain for the famine of your households,

¹⁸ The one who speaks on his own authority ^(A)seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.

³³ Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ^(A)‘By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take ^(B)grain for the famine of your households, and go your way. ³⁴ Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I shall know that you are not spies but honest men, and I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall ^(C)trade in the land.’”
