He replied,“ Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

And he answered them,“ To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

He replied,“ You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not.

He answered,“ Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know, but it has not been given to them.

And Jesus answered them,“ To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.

He answered and said to them,“ Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

And he answered and said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

He answered them,“ Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know, but it has not been given to them.

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

He replied,“ You have been given the opportunity to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but they have not.

He answered them,“ To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.

It is written that“ no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human mind has known.”( Isaiah 64:4) God has prepared these things for those who love him.God has shown these things to us through his Spirit. The Spirit understands all things. He understands even the deep things of God.

But you have received the Holy Spirit from God. He continues to live in you. So you don’t need anyone to teach you. God’s Spirit teaches you about everything. What he says is true. He doesn’t lie. Remain joined to Christ, just as you have been taught by the Spirit.

Jesus replied,“ Not everyone can accept the idea of staying single. Only those who have been helped to live without getting married can accept it.

The person without the Spirit doesn’t accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. These things are foolish to them. They can’t understand them. In fact, such things can’t be understood without the Spirit’s help.

Jesus replied,“ Blessed are you, Simon, son of Jonah! No mere human showed this to you. My Father in heaven showed it to you.

Suppose I have the gift of prophecy. Suppose I can understand all the secret things of God and know everything about him. And suppose I have enough faith to move mountains. If I don’t have love, I am nothing at all.

May God receive glory. He is able to strengthen your faith. He does this in keeping with the good news and the message I preach. It is the message about Jesus Christ. This message is in keeping with the mystery hidden for a very long time.

If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone and doesn’t find fault.

You have received the Spirit from the Holy One. And all of you know the truth.

He said,“ You have been given the chance to understand the secrets of God’s kingdom. But to outsiders I speak by using stories. In that way,“‘ They see, but they will not know what they are seeing. They hear, but they will not understand what they are hearing.’( Isaiah 6:9)

That word contains the mystery that has been hidden for many ages. But now it has been made known to the Lord’s people.God has chosen to make known to them the glorious riches of that mystery. He has made it known among the Gentiles. And here is what it is. Christ is in you. He is your hope of glory.

he showed us the mystery of his plan. It was in keeping with what he wanted to do. It was what he had planned through Christ.

No, we announce God’s wisdom. His wisdom is a mystery that has been hidden. But before time began, God planned that his wisdom would bring us heavenly glory.

That is a deep mystery. But I’m talking about Christ and the church.

Listen! I am telling you a mystery. We will not all die. But we will all be changed.

My goal is that their hearts may be encouraged and strengthened. I want them to be joined together in love. Then their understanding will be rich and complete. They will know the mystery of God. That mystery is Christ.

There is no doubt that true godliness comes from this great mystery. Jesus came as a human being. The Holy Spirit proved that he was the Son of God. He was seen by angels. He was preached among the nations. People in the world believed in him. He was taken up to heaven in glory.

They must hold on to the deep truths of the faith. Even their own minds tell them to do that.

My dear brothers and sisters, don’t let anyone fool you.Every good and perfect gift is from God. This kind of gift comes down from the Father who created the heavenly lights. These lights create shadows that move. But the Father does not change like these shadows.God chose to give us new birth through the message of truth. He wanted us to be the first harvest of his new creation.

The Lord has made you fall into a deep sleep. He has closed the eyes of your prophets. He has covered the heads of your seers so they can’t see.

So here is how you should think of us. We serve Christ. We are trusted with the mysteries God has shown us.

She had a sister named Mary. Mary sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.But Martha was busy with all the things that had to be done. She came to Jesus and said,“ Lord, my sister has left me to do the work by myself. Don’t you care? Tell her to help me!”“ Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered.“ You are worried and upset about many things.But few things are needed. Really, only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better. And it will not be taken away from her.”

The Lord is honest and good. He teaches sinners to walk in his ways.He shows those who aren’t proud how to do what is right. He teaches them his ways.

So he continued speaking. He said,“ This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father helps them.”

I pray that you may understand more clearly. Then you will know the hope God has chosen you to receive. You will know that what God will give his holy people is rich and glorious.

The Berean Jews were very glad to receive Paul’s message. They studied the Scriptures carefully every day. They wanted to see if what Paul said was true. So they were more noble than the Thessalonian Jews.Because of this, many of the Berean Jews believed. A number of important Greek women also became believers. And so did many Greek men.

Who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you brag as though you did not?

Here is how someone can find out whether my teaching comes from God or from me. That person must choose to do what God wants them to do.

I’m talking about the mystery God showed me. I have already written a little about it.By reading about this mystery, you will be able to understand what I know. You will know about the mystery of Christ.The mystery was not made known to people of other times. But now the Holy Spirit has made this mystery known to God’s holy apostles and prophets.Here is the mystery. Because of the good news, God’s promises are for Gentiles as well as for Jews. Both groups are parts of one body. They share in the promise. It belongs to them because they belong to Christ Jesus.I now serve the good news because God gave me his grace. His power is at work in me.I am by far the least important of all the Lord’s holy people. But he gave me the grace to preach to the Gentiles about the unlimited riches that Christ gives.God told me to make clear to everyone how the mystery came about. In times past it was kept hidden in the mind of God, who created all things.

The Lord shares his plans with those who have respect for him. He makes his covenant known to them.

At that time Jesus said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children.Yes, Father. This is what you wanted to do.

A wide road will go through the land. It will be called the Way of Holiness. Only those who lead a holy life can use it.“ Unclean” and foolish people can’t walk on it.

He told them,“ The secret of God’s kingdom has been given to you. But to outsiders everything is told using stories.

Pray also for me. Pray that whenever I speak, the right words will be given to me. Then I can be bold as I tell the mystery of the good news.

One of the women listening was from the city of Thyatira. Her name was Lydia, and her business was selling purple cloth. She was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to accept Paul’s message.
