English (Translation) 1So far as it was possible with all simplicity to declare it unto you, my soul hopeth that I have not omitted anything [of the matters pertaining unto salvation and so failed in my desire]. 2For if I should write to you concerning things immediate or future, ye would not understand them, because they are put in parables. So much then for this. (Brn 17) | Greek (Original) 1Ἐφ ̓ ὅσον ἦν ἐν δυνατῷ καὶ ἁπλότητι δηλῶσαι ὑμῖν, ἐλπίζει μου ἡ ψυχὴ μὴ παραλελοιπέναι τι. 2Ἐὰν γὰρ περὶ τῶν ἐνεστώτων ἢ μελλόντων γράφω ὑμῖν, οὐ μὴ νοήσητε διὰ τὸ ἐν παραβολαῖς κεῖσθαι.
