And Shaphan, the scribe, came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, the priests in charge had poured out the money from the large chest into small sacks, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the Lord.

It was a special act of God's grace that the Reformation restored the Bible to us in all its purity, teaching us the way of salvation aright.
