¹⁷ Because you say, ^(A)‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

¹¹ But he who ^(A)hates his brother is in darkness and ^(B)walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

⁹ For he who lacks these things is ^(A)shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

²⁵ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be ^(A)wise in your own ^[a]opinion, that ^(B)blindness in part has happened to Israel ^(C)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.

⁷ What then? ^(A)Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were ^(B)blinded.

⁴⁰ Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, ^(A)and said to Him, “Are we blind also?”

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, ^(B)“If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

¹⁴ Let them alone. ^(A)They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
