8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

                ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 8:1-8

1 - Now concerning things offered to idols, we know we have knowledge. Yet knowledge puffs up, and it’s love that builds up. 2 If anyone imagines they know any different, they don’t yet know as they ought to know! 3 But if someone loves God, they can know, that they are known by God. {THE knowing/gnosis/wisdom/knowledge is knowing God. Which produces genuine love and affection, because he iS love. And life. One ruLe!? Love God!}

     4 Therefore, as to this eating of food offered to idols, we know an idol isn’t anything. But that there is no God but one. 5 For although there may be many supposed ‘gods’ in the heavens and upon earth, many ‘gods’ and lords, 6 yet to us there is but one God. The Father, of whom is the all, and we for him. And one Lord, Jesus Christ, by and through whom are all, and we for him.

     7 However, not all know this. But some, through former observances and rituals with idols, eat food as actually offered to another ‘god’, and their conscience is harmed. 8 But food doesn’t commend us to God. Whether we eat or we don’t eat, we’re no better off, nor are we worse off.

                  ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ JOHN 13:1-20

1 - It was before the Feast of Passover and Jesus knew the hour had come to leave the world, and go to the Father. Having loved his disciples and followers, he loved them to the end. 2 Now during supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray him.

     3 But Jesus, knowing the Father had put all [pas - all, every, the whole, each part of] into his hands - and that he had come from God - and was returning to God, 4 rose from supper, laid aside his outer clothing, and took a towel, and tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel. [It was a courtesy to provide water for guests to wash their dusty, hot and tired feet, travel being mostly by foot.]

     6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said, “Lord, do you wash my feet?!” 7 Jesus answered, “You don’t understand what I’m doing now, but you will later.”

     8 Peter said, “Lord! You cannot wash my feet!” But Jesus said, “If I don’t do this, you will have no share with me in this work.” {😮 The “correcting/kolasis”! ..Later “aionion”/eonian during, let’s call it kolasis-2. The 2nd resurrection is separated from the “putting on of perfection and (thus) immortality” by the GWT Judgment/discernment/review of history and closure for all ‘Day’ - Rev.20 w/ Lev.23 as type, shadow and outline of the Lord’s two advents. Long 2nd advent surely will be a full scope version of his 1st so brief one? But with helpers serving, called reigning? ..The root word of Logic, is Logos.}

     9 So Peter said, “Not just my feet! But my hands and my head too!” 10 Jesus said, “Someone who has already bathed, needs only to wash their feet. And all of you are clean but one.” {The spiritual bath portrayed by baptism?}

     11 He knew who was going to betray him. That was why he said, “All but one.” 12 When he was done, he put his outer clothing back on, and sat back down. He said, “Do you know why I did that? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have {been so humble as to have} washed your feet, you also should be likewise. 15 For I’ve given you an example, that you should do just as I’ve done.

    16 Truly, I tell you, a servant isn’t greater than his master. Nor is a messenger greater than the one who sends the message.

     17 If you know these things, you’re blessed if you do them. 18 I’m not speaking of all of you. I know who I’ve chosen. But the Scripture says, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me’ and it shall be fulfilled. 19 I’m telling you this now, before it happens, so when it does happen you’ll believe that I’m he. 20 Truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives the Father who sent me.”

11-10 - Luke 22 17-23 1Cor 7 32-40

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

         ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 7:32-40

[Paul is answering questions the Corinthian believers had sent in a letter. He responded “the time is short, so..” and indeed 70 CE was right around the corner.] 32 -  I (Paul) want you to be free from worries. The unmarried person is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But the married person is worried about worldly things, how to please their spouse. 34 So their interests are divided. 35 I say this for your benefit, not to lay any hardship on you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

    36 If anyone thinks they’re not behaving properly toward their intended, or if passion is strong, let them do as they wish. If they marry, it’s no sin! 37 But whoever is firmly established in their heart, and have their desire under control, and do not marry, also do well. 38 So then they who marry do well, and they who refrain from marriage, in my opinion, do even better.

     39 (Answer to another question.) A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she’s free to remarry, but only to another in the Lord. 40 Yet in my judgment she’s happier if she remains as she is. And I think I have the Spirit of God concerning this.

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ Luke 22:17-23

(Luke’s Account, likely by interview) — 17 - When they were reclined at table, Jesus took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this cup, and share it among yourselves. 18 For I tell you I won’t drink of the fruit of the vine again until the kingdom of God has come.”

     19 And he took bread, and after giving thanks, he broke it and passed it out to them, saying, “This is my body {bread} which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. 20 And do also with the cup. For the cup, poured out for you, is the new covenant sealed in my blood.” {Take it and share it with one another.}

     21 “Yet the hand of the one who will betray me is with me at this table. 22 For the Son of Man goes as it’s been determined, but woe to that one by whom he’s betrayed.” {Judas’ deep remorse, full gehenna.}

     23 And they began to question one another, which of them it could be. {It could be all of us. And equally of every nation, every ethnicity, Mt.24:28.}

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

           ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 7:24-31

24 - So whether circumcized or not, let each remain as is when they are called by God. 25 And concerning the betrothed, I (Paul) have no command from the Lord, but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy can be trusted. 26 I think in view of the present distress, it’s good for a person to remain as they are. 27 Are you married? Don’t seek to not be. Are you not married? Don’t concern yourself to be so. 28 But if you do marry, you haven’t erred. Yet those who marry will have worldly concerns and troubles, and I would spare you that. 29 This is what I mean, the appointed time {end of their age, 70 C.E.} has grown very short. From now on, let us treat worldly entanglements as secondary, 31 for the fashions {all important pursuits} of this world are fast passing away.

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ Mark 14:17-25

17 - At evening, Jesus went in with the twelve, 18 and as they were at table, Jesus said, “One of you is going to betray me. One who eats with me.” 19 So they began to be sorrowful and each one said, “Will it be me?” 20 So he said, “It’s one of you twelve, the one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

     21 The Son of Man goes as it’s written of him, but woe to the one who betrays him. {Sympathy for Judas.} It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” {Prophesying how Judas’ life will end.}

     22 Then he took up a loaf of bread, said a blessing, broke it and passed it out to them, saying “Take and eat. This is my body.”

     23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he passed it to them, and they all drank. 24 And he said, “This is my blood of the covenant, poured out for [huper - for, on behalf of, above, more than, beyond] many” [polýs - many, high in number, multitudinous, plenteous, much, great in amount (extent), frequently used in contexts that highlight the vastness of God's kingdom, the multitude of believers, or the extensive reach of Jesus]. 25 “Truly, I tell you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine, until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

         ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 7:8-23

(Practical matters, continued) 8 - To the unmarried and widows I think it’s good for them to remain single, as I (Paul) am. 9 But if they haven’t self-control, they should marry. For it’s better to marry than to burn with passion.

     10 To the married I give this charge, not I, but the Lord, the wife shouldn’t separate from her husband 11 but if she does, she should remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband, and the husband should not divorce his wife.

     12 To the rest I say (I, not the Lord) that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to remain with him, he should not divorce her. 13 If any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he’s happy to remain with her, she should not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband will be influenced by his wife, and the unbelieving wife will be influenced by her husband. Otherwise your children would be unduly influenced, but as it is, they will be influenced by you. 15 But if the unbelieving partner separates, let it be so. In such cases the brother or sister is not bound. God has called you to peace. 16 For how do you know, wife, whether you will deliver to Jesus your husband? Or how do you know, husband, whether you will deliver to Jesus your wife? {Marriage and family.. Israel - like any other would have - went with the nations/world, so family? Cultural structure? Unwantd children. Canaanite-baalism, ps.106:37,38. Ps.106, seven fallings? progressed? seven warnings?}

     17 Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to them, and to which God has called them, a good rule in all the churches. 18 Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek to be circumcised. 19 For neither (the physical) circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the instructions of God.

     {{Note: circumcision was on “the 8th day”. It represents the spiritual circumcision of the heart ..no longer self as first and foremost, etc - The collective circumcision of mankind (and angelkind?) will be completed during the 8th millennium of this creation - see if I’m wrong -> Rev.20. But the chapter is like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between. ..It was a biG bang into the universe as is, then, was set in motion with two outlines running - the week plus one. And within that outline (wheel within a wheel) the ancient holy days of Leviticus 23 as representing Jesus’ two advents.}}

     20 Each one should remain in the condition in which they were called. 21 Were you a bondservant when called? Don’t be concerned about it. But if you can gain your freedom, avail yourself of the opportunity. [It was a money or land lending system.] 22 For the one who was called in the Lord as a bondservant is free in the Lord! Likewise the one who was free when called is a bondservant of Christ. 23 You were bought with a price. It’s better not to become bondservants of men.

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ Luke 22:7-16

{By interview? Luke was a Greek doctor, not an original disciple. It was Paul Luke met later.} 7 - Then came the days of unleavened (bread) when it was time for the Passover lamb to be sacrificed. {This is an important and crucial lesson - expressed as in a drama. The sacrifice hAd to be. Is it possible that anything less dramatic could reach “aLL” - could appease every conscience, including of the most cruel despots, etc?} [The days: Passover, a “preparation” day, for the meal on First Day of Unleavened Bread, which is the next day (but the days of course begin at sunset instead of at midnight).]

     8 And so Jesus sent Peter and John ahead saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat it.” {I think it was common for some to eat the meal on Passover? Instead of like the first one in Exodus, after sunset which is then 1st Day of Unleavened Bread. All these things veil how perfectly his first brief advent fulfilled the Spring holy days - Lev.23.}

     9 They said to him, “Where will you have us prepare it?” 10 He said, “When you have entered the city, a man carrying a clay jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house he goes into, 11 and tell the master of the house, ‘The teacher asks, where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 And he’ll show you a large upper room that’s furnished. Prepare there.” 13 And they went and found it just as he had said, and they prepared the Passover.

     14 And later at the time to recline, the apostles were with him. 15 And he said, “I have wanted to eat this Passover with you, before my suffering. 16 For I tell you I will not eat of it again, until it’s fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year

Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}

          ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 7:1-7

1 - Now about the questions about which you wrote to me: I (Paul) think it’s good for a man to remain single, rather than to marry. 2 But in the world there is the temptation to immorality. [Porneia - fornication (sexual relations between people who are not married to each other - The Amer. Heritage Dictionary). From pernaō - to sell off, properly, a selling off (surrendering) of sexual purity.] So each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

     3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Likewise the wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband does. 5 Don’t deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer, but then come together again, so Satan may not tempt you to a lack of self control, and you fall prey to unfaithfulness.

     6 Now this is only advice, but I will say, 7 I wish all were as I am. But all have their own blessing from God, some one way and others the other way..

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ MARK 14:10-16

10 - Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the leaders, the chief priests, in order to betray Jesus to them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. So he then looked for an opportunity to betray him.

     12 And it was the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb [referring to the whole week of Spring holy days, which was called interchangeably, as were the days - Passover and 1st Day of Unleavened Bread. First Day of Unleavened Bread is the actual feast/meal day - remember the days began (begin?) at sunset rather than at midnight. The Passover lamb is sacrificed on Passover, and later, in the dark, after sunset, 1st Day of Unleavened Bread having begun, the meal was eaten, as in the original first Passover in Egypt.]

     His disciples asked him, “Where should we go to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of the disciples on ahead, saying to them, “Go into the city, where you’ll see a man carrying a jar of water. Follow him, 14 and wherever he goes, say to the master of that house, ‘The Teacher says, where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 And he will show you a large upper room which is furnished and ready, there make ready for us.” 16 And the disciples set out and went to the city and found it just as he had told them, and they made ready (for) the Passover. [“The” - commentary - in Hebrew, the word for "the" is ה (he), which functions similarly to "le" and "la" in French, indicating gender and definiteness. It is used as a prefix attached to nouns.]
