And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Now the boy Samuel was growing in stature and in favor both with the Lord and with men.
The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.
And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit, and he lived in the deserts until the day of his public appearance to Israel.
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
“The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him,
For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.
