(Matt. 13:11 ) but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.. (1 Cor. 2:10 ) No, we speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. (1 Cor. 2:7 )
Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple. (Psa. 65:4 ) The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them. (Psa. 25:14 ) For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.(John 17:8 )
You are my friends if you do what I command. (John 15:14 )
