夜寐夙興、種發且長、彼不知其所以然、

夜寐夙興、種發且長、不知其所以然、

Just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery of a tiny baby growing in its mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the activity of God, who does all things.

I realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim.

And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a bare seed of wheat or whatever you are planting.Then God gives it the new body he wants it to have. A different plant grows from each kind of seed.

Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, we can’t help but thank God for you, because your faith is flourishing and your love for one another is growing.

So don’t be surprised when I say,‘ You must be born again.’The wind blows wherever it wants. Just as you can hear the wind but can’t tell where it comes from or where it is going, so you can’t explain how people are born of the Spirit.”
