⁵ And Simon answered, “Master, ^(A)we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” ⁶ And when they had done this, ^(B)they enclosed a large number of fish, and ^(C)their nets were breaking. ⁷ They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. ^(D)And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. ⁸ But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, ^(E)“Depart from me, for ^(F)I am a sinful man, O Lord.” ⁹ For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, ¹⁰ and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”^{[a] 11} And when they had brought their boats to land, ^(G)they left everything and followed him.

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, ^(A)who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

^58 (B)Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in ^(C)the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord ^(D)your labor is not in vain.

⁶ And I am sure of this, that he who began ^(A)a good work in you ^(B)will bring it to completion at ^(C)the day of Jesus Christ.

³³ But ^(A)seek first ^(B)the kingdom of God and his righteousness, ^(C)and all these things will be added to you.
