此固非人意與人力、所得而左右、惟在慈惠天主之矜恤而已。

For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared,not by works done in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou didst hide these things from the wise and understanding, and didst reveal them unto babes: yea, Father; for so it was well- pleasing in thy sight.

but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ( by grace have ye been saved),

for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God;

But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:who in time past were no people, but now are the people of God: who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Here am I.And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death.Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison;and make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.

Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loveth:and thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death.And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
