Ecclesiastes 8:17
17then I saw all the work of God, that aman cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, bhe cannot find it out.Ecclesiastes 11:5
5As you do not know the way cthe spirit comes to dthe bones in the womb ▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts, Targum; most Hebrew manuscripts As you do not know the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb
of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. John 3:7-8
7 fDo not marvel that I said to you, ‘You ▼▼The Greek for you is plural here
must be born hagain.’ 8 iThe wind ▼▼The same Greek word means both wind and spirit
blows kwhere it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 15:37-38
37And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.2 Thessalonians 1:3
Thanksgiving
3 lWe ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, ▼▼Or brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church
as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing. 2 Peter 3:18
18But ngrow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. oTo him be the glory both now and to the day of peternity. Amen.
