¹ The Word [already] existed in the beginning [of time]. [Note: This is a reference to the preexistence of Jesus. See verse 14]. And the Word was with God and the Word was [what] God [was].

³³ O, how deep is the richness of God’s wisdom and knowledge! How difficult [it is for us] to explain His judgments and how impossible [for us] to accurately track how He operates! ³⁴ [Note: The following are rhetorical questions raised from their reading of the Old Testament]. For who has known [what goes on in] the Lord’s mind? Or, who has been His advisor? ³⁵ Or, who has given [something] to God that He has to pay back? ³⁶ For everything was created by Him, exists through His [power] and is intended for His [glory]. May He be praised forever. May it be so.
