^27 (A)All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father ^(B)except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son determines to reveal Him.

²³ But before faith came, ^[a]we were kept in custody under the Law, ^(A)being confined for the faith that was destined to be revealed.

⁸ But what does it say? “^(A)The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching,

¹⁷ So faith comes from ^(A)hearing, and hearing by ^(B)the word ^[a]of Christ.

²¹ if indeed you ^(A)have heard Him and have ^(B)been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,

² looking only at Jesus, the ^[a](A)originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him ^(B)endured the cross, ^(C)despising the shame, and has ^(D)sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¹⁹ because ^(A)that which is known about God is evident ^[a]within them; for God made it evident to them.

⁵ so that your faith would not ^[a]rest on the ^[b]wisdom of mankind, but on ^(A)the power of God.
