17 That ye may obtain a resurrection, according to the power of the resurrection which is in Christ, And be presented as the firstfruits of Christ unto God, Having faith and obtained a good hope of glory in Him before He manifesteth Himself in the flesh.

18 And now beloved, marvel not that I tell you these things, For why not speak of the atonement of Christ and attain to a perfect knowledge of Him, as to attain to the knowledge of a resurrection and the world to come?

19 Behold, my brethren, he that prophesieth, let him prophesy to the understanding of men, For the Spirit speaketh the truth and lieth not;

20 Wherefore, it speaketh of things as they really are and of things as they really will be; Wherefore, these things are manifested unto us plainly for the salvation of our souls.

21 But behold, we are not witnesses alone in these things, for God also spake them unto prophets of old.

22 But behold, the Jews were a stiff-necked people, And they despised the words of plainness and killed the prophets and sought for things that they could not understand;

23 Wherefore, because of their blindness, which blindness came by looking beyond the mark, they must needs fall,

24 For God hath taken away His plainness from them and delivered unto them many things which they cannot understand, because they desired it;

25 And because they desired it, God hath done it, that they may stumble.

26 And now I, Jacob, am led on by the Spirit unto prophesying, For I perceive by the workings of the Spirit which is in me that by the stumbling of the Jews they will reject the stone upon which they might build and have safe foundation;

27 But behold, according to the scriptures this stone shall become the great and the last and the only sure foundation upon which the Jews can build.
