but one thing is needful: for Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

Little is needed, or even one thing only: for Mary has taken that good part, which will not be taken away from her.

But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
