And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Καὶ ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο καὶ ἐσκήνωσεν ἐν ἡμῖν καὶ ἐθεασάμεθα τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ δόξαν ὡς μονογενοῦς παρὰ πατρός πλήρης χάριτος καὶ ἀληθείας

And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.

And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
מִי הֶאֱמִין לִשְׁמֻעָתֵנוּ וּזְרוֹעַ יְהוָה עַל-מִי נִגְלָֽתָה׃
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῇ συνέσει καὶ ταῖς ἀποκρίσεσιν αὐτοῦ
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
וּשְׁמוּאֵל מְשָׁרֵת אֶת-פְּנֵי יְהוָה נַעַר חָגוּר אֵפוֹד בָּֽד׃
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
וַתֵּלֶד הָֽאִשָּׁה בֵּן וַתִּקְרָא אֶת-שְׁמוֹ שִׁמְשׁוֹן וַיִּגְדַּל הַנַּעַר וַֽיְבָרְכֵהוּ יְהוָֽה׃

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
ἵνα παρακληθῶσιν αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν συμβιβασθέντων ἐν ἀγάπῃ καὶ εἰς πάντα πλοῦτον τῆς πληροφορίας τῆς συνέσεως εἰς ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ
