How Hidden The treasures of the gospel are said to be hidden. By those who are wise in their own estimation, who are puffed up by the teaching of vain philosophy, the beauty and power and mystery of the plan of redemption are not perceived. Many have eyes, but they see not; they have ears, but they hear not; they have intellect, but they discern not the hidden treasure.

Der står, at evangeliets skatte er skjulte. De, der er kloge i deres egne øjne og optaget af denne verdens lærdomme og filosofi, kan ikke fatte forløsningsplanens skønhed og kraft. Det er en hemmelighed for dem. Mange har øjne, men ser ikke; de har ører, men hører ikke; de har forstand, men de indser ikke, at der findes en skjult skat.
