full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery
of God, namely, Christ, † in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge. † I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding
arguments. † Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be
generous and willing to share. † In this way they will lay up treasure for

the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. †
