But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

Nevertheless he who stands steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but has power over his own will, and has so determined in his heart that he will keep his virgin, does well.

And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.

Greetings and a Solemn Farewell

The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
