33 And as regards those having insight+ among the people, they will impart understanding to the many.+ And they will certainly be made to stumble by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plundering,+ for [some] days.*
3 “And the ones having insight will shine like the brightness* of the expanse;+ and those who are bringing the many to righteousness,+ like the stars to time indefinite, even forever.
20 But we know that the Son of God has come,+ and he has given us intellectual+ capacity* that we may gain the knowledge of the true one.+ And we are in union+ with the true one, by means of his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true+ God and life everlasting.+
