⁹ However, as it is written:

¹⁰ these are the things God has revealed^(B) to us by his Spirit.^(C)

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.

Patience in Suffering

⁷ Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming.^(A) See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting^(B) for the autumn and spring rains.^(C)

⁹ In that day^(A) they will say,

²⁶ the mystery^(A) that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. ²⁷ To them God has chosen to make known^(B) among the Gentiles the glorious riches^(C) of this mystery, which is Christ in you,^(D) the hope of glory.

¹⁷ so that Christ may dwell in your hearts^(A) through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted^(B) and established in love, ¹⁸ may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people,^(C) to grasp how wide and long and high and deep^(D) is the love of Christ, ¹⁹ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge^(E)—that you may be filled^(F) to the measure of all the fullness of God.^(G)

²⁰ Now to him who is able^(H) to do immeasurably more than all we ask^(I) or imagine, according to his power^(J) that is at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.^(K)
