He was the most honored of the thirty, so he became their commander; however, he did not attain to the [greatness of the] three.

The wise will hear and increase their learning,And the person of understanding will acquire wise counsel and the skill [to steer his course wisely and lead others to the truth],

None who go to her return again,Nor do they regain the paths of life—

He has rejected your [pagan] calf, O Samaria, saying,“My wrath burns against them.”How long will they be incapable of innocence?

until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a mature believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity].

so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.
