List of Some Translator Errors, due to partial disbelief? ~~ Not including God’s riddles/hiding things in plain sight. ~~ Changed “all” whenever possible, to “all things” Rev.21:5, Eph.1:10, Jn.13:3, 1Cor.15:27, five times! And so repeating what 5 times? ..And more. But not 2Tim.3:16 or 1Cor.15:28, for example. ~~ Often rendered not into never and aion/eon into forever. ~~ Translating hamartia - missing the mark, into “sin” (trespass) misses the mark a little. (God is Life, and “is perfect” Mt.5:48, a conundrum for imperfect/missing the mark. But no option to stray in Eden, and creation would have to be an ant farm.) ~~ Of course five separate words turned into ‘hell’, even pit when “dust of” is in the verse & Ps.30:9. The three mentions of lake of fire are at very large, fiery events. Not very understandable in 95 CE or thereabouts, Is.24:20, Rev.10:4 (Ps.91,46,23, Rev7:15-17)

1 - Likewise, wives, adapt to your own husbands, so that even if he doesn’t obey the word, he may be won over without a word 2 when he observes your peaceful and respectful spirit. 3 Let your adorning not be the external of the hair, and jewelry and clothing, as much as the 4 unfading beauty of a gentle and peaceful spirit, the hidden person of the heart, which in God's sight is very precious. 5 For this is how the holy women who hoped in God would adorn theirselves, by adapting to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah ranked herself as submissive to Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and are not easily fearful and excitable.

Jesus, alone with his eleven disciples on the evening before his execution, and before his arrest, Judas has left, the other disciples thinking perhaps he has gone to buy what they need for the Passover meal, as he was the one who carried the money bag.

     1 - “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions [monḗ - from ménō - to remain, abide – an abiding dwelling-place i.e. not transitory; monḗ - used twice in the NT both times by Christ, an individual dwelling place]. If this wasn’t so, would I tell you that I go to prepare a place for you? (I go to be crucified, so that where I am you may be.) 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I’ll come back and take you to myself, so where I am you may be. 4 And you know the way to where I’m going.” 5 Thomas said, “Lord, we don’t know where you’re going. How can we know the way?” 6 Jesus said, “I’m the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you know me, you know my Father. So from now on you do know him, and see him.” [See - horaó - to see, perceive, understand.] 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and it will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus said, “Have I been with you so long, and you’ve not known me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. So why say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not know that I am in the Father? And the Father is in me? The words I say to you I don’t say by my authority, but the Father - who dwells in me - does his works. 11 Believe me, that I’m in the Father and the Father’s in me. Or believe because of the works [ergon - work, task, employment; a deed, action; that which is wrought or made, a work, act/deed that carries out a purpose].

17 - Respect and honor all. Love your fellow believers. Fear/revere God. Honor the emperor. 18 Servants/workers (in a work for a loan of money or land system) be subject to your masters/misters/boss with respect. And not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. 19 For this is a mindful thing, when conscious of God, if one endures sorrow while suffering unjustly. 20 For what credit is it, if you do wrong and when suffering for it, you endure? But if when you do good, you suffer for it with quiet endurance, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. 21 Indeed to this you’ve been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so you might follow in his steps. 22 He committed no wrong, no sin, neither did any falsehood cross his lips. 23 When he was insulted, he didn’t return insult. And when he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but continued entrusting himself to he who judges justly. 24 And he suffered for us, bearing our sins in his body on the tree. That we might die to sin and live to all that is right. It is by his wounds you have been healed! 25 For like sheep, you were straying, but you have now returned (a pleasant sacrifice, a whole burnt offering) to the shepherd and bishop [episkopos - superintendent, bishop, from epí - upon, a fitting contact, which intensifies skopós - look intently, keep an eye on (you have returned to the) overseer, manager] of your soul.

21 - Jesus was troubled in his spirit, and said, “Truly, I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.” 22 The disciples looked at one another, not knowing what to think. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved (this is John, it’s how he sometimes referred to himself) was at the table by Jesus, 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus who he was speaking about. 25 So that disciple, leaning close to Jesus said, “Lord, who is it?” 26 Jesus answered, “It’s he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I’ve dipped it.” So when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. 27 Then after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered into him, and Jesus said to him, “What you’re going to do, do quickly.” 28 Now no one at the table knew why he said this. 29 Some thought because Judas had the moneybag, Jesus was telling him to go buy what they would need for the feast or that he should give something to the poor.

     30 And so it was, that after receiving the piece of bread, Judas left and went out into the night.

     31 And when he had gone, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God glorified in him. 32 For if God is glorified in him also God will glorify him in himself and at once. 33 Little children, it’s only a short while that I’m with you. You’ll seek me, and just as I said to your countrymen, ‘Where I’m going you cannot follow.’ 34 And now a new commandment I give to you, love one another, just as I’ve loved you, you also love one another. 35 And by this all will know you’re my disciples! If you have love (true affection) for one another.” 36 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, where are you going?” Jesus answered, “Where I’m going you cannot follow me now, but you’ll follow me afterward.” 37 Peter said to him, “Lord, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!” 38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for me? Truly, I tell you Peter,  the rooster will not crow until you have denied me three times.”

     11 Beloved, I (Peter) urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of youth and flesh, which wage war against your soul. 12 Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and works and glorify God on the day of his visitation.

     13 Be subject for the Lord's sake to the human institutions, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, 14 or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence ignorance and foolishness. 16 Live as people who are free, but not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as faithful servants {and friends} of God.

     05/11 - GospeL Verses 

1 - Now before the Festival of Passover, when Jesus knew his hour had come to leave the world and go to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 While reclined at supper - the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him - 3 Jesus, knowing the Father had given all into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going back to God, 4 got up, laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist. 5 Then after pouring water into a basin, he began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel he had wrapped around him.

     6 When he came to him, Simon Peter said, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered, “What I’m doing you don’t understand now, but later you’ll understand.” 8 Peter said, “Surely you shall not wash my feet!” Jesus said, “If I don’t wash you, you have no share with me.” 9 Simon Peter said, “Lord, not my feet only, but my hands and my head too!”10 Jesus said, “The one who has bathed doesn’t need to wash, except for their feet, but is completely clean. And you are clean, but not every one of you.” 11 For he knew who was going to betray him. 

     12 When he had washed their feet, put his outer garments back on and sat down, he said to them, “Do you understand what I’ve done? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you’re right, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I’ve given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done for you. 16 Truly, I tell you, a servant is not greater than their master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sends them. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. 18 I’m not speaking of all of you. I know whom I’ve chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’ 19 I’m telling you this now, before it happens, that when it does happen you’ll believe that I’m he. {The Christ and Messiah.} 20 Truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send, receives me, and whoever receives me, receives the one who sent me.”

1 - So put away all malice from yourself, and all deceit, and hypocrisy, and envy and all slander {accusation, and who is called “the accuser”?} 2 Like newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual [logikos - from logos, reason, logic; rational, reasonable] milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation [soteria - welfare, prosperity, deliverance, preservation, salvation, safety] 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. 4 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men, but in the sight of God, chosen and most esteemed. 5 You yourselves are living stones being built up into a spiritual house, and a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus. 6 For it stands in Scripture - “Behold! I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen, highly esteemed, and precious. And whoever believes in him, will not be shamed.” 7 So the honor is for those who believe, but for those who don’t believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone” [kephalé/head - gónia/corner - cornerstone, a basic and fundamental stone that joins two walls..Jesus is called the chief cornerstone; the basic part of something on which its existence, success, or truth depends] 8 and “A stone of stumbling, and rock of offense.” They disobey the word/message [logos] and so they stumble. To which they were appointed.

     {All the world’s a stage - Shakespeare. There’s bound to be, and has to be, more than one role played out, as you let things run their course. No option to stray in Eden and humanity would be an ant farm? 1Tim.4:10, “God is savior of all.” He is Life and “is Perfect”.. so imperfection is this entropy, a slow burn/gehenna but an all important contrast.}

(On the eve of his crucifixion..) 20 - When it was evening he reclined at table for a (last) supper with the twelve. 21 And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me.” 22 And they were very sorrowful when he said that, and they began to say to him one by one, “Is it I, Lord?”

     23 He answered them, “He who has dipped his bread in the dish with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man goes as it’s written of him, but woe to the one who betrays him! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” {A cliche, Jesus knew his earthly end, and was prophesying.}

     25 Judas, who would betray him, said, “Is it I, Rabbi?” Jesus answered, “So you have said.”

     26 As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it, broke it, passed it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat this, it is my body.” 27 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he passed it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all, of you” {including the betrayer) 28 “for this is my blood of the covenant (treaty, accord, league, agreement) which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” {Strong enough to appease eveRy conscience and psyche.

Silence iS Golden

 🌴⛲️ The truest meditation, surely(?) is the heart and mind lifted up to God in the silence ..which silence is God.. father of all ..who is life and “is perfect”. I have to think the biggest question is just how do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings? ..aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? By cause and effect, code name wrath..? And a big bang into the universe as is.. then was set in motion.. and spelled out at least two outlines? ..The week plus one millenniums.. and within it, the ancient Spring and Fall holy days, types of Jesus’ first and second advents.. the second a full scope version of his first so brief one? But with helpers, serving, called reigning? Matthew 13:30 being Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13(10).  The three mentions of lake of fire being at huge fiery events. Isaiah 24:20/Rev.10:4. ..And a math problem - Dan.12:11-12 with Lk.19:41,44 and 1Cor.3:16..

     A test? Rev.13:13 pinpointed an office, not (yet?) an individual. And after it, the many headed geopolitical beast/entity/institution was rebuilt, having expired previously..

Always return to the Silence….?

13 - Therefore, discipline your mind to sober thinking, be alert and fix your hope [elpis - hope, expectation, trust] completely upon the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, don’t be conformed to the passions of your former life when you didn’t know any better, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it’s written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call upon he who is Father, and who judges impartially according to each one's doings, conduct yourselves with reverence, or fear if need be, throughout the time of our exile, 18 knowing that we were - ransomed - from the futile ways inherited from our forefathers. And not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 Known before the foundation of the world but made manifest in the last times for the sake of you, 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, bestowing glory, so your faith and hope would be in God. 22 And having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth, you now have true affection for your fellow person. Love one another genuinely and earnestly from a pure heart, 23 since you’ve been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable - through the living and abiding word of God, 24 for “All is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, 25 but the word [logos - reasoning, root of logic] of the LORD endures and stands forever” — And this word is the good news that was proclaimed to you.

14 - Then one of his twelve disciples, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. 15 And he said to them, “What will you give me if I deliver him over to you?” And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that moment on, he sought an opportunity to betray him.

     17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread [which days begin at sunset] the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” [The Spring holy days are Passover, at the full moon, and 14th day of the first month. The next day, the 15th, is the First Day of Unleavened Bread. But the entire week was referred to by both names, either Passover or Unleavened Bread. And the two days were also referred to interchangeably. THiS first day has to be Passover day itself — which begins at sunset — rather than at midnight. Spring holy week has three Sabbaths (“no work” days) so it also has three prep days before them. These things all work to veil how utterly perfectly Jesus fulfilled these Spring holy days by his first (so brief) advent. He died on Passover - was in the grave as 1st day of Unleavened Bread was beginning - and rose exactly three days later as the third holy day of the week was beginning — a day which always follows the regular, weekly, Sabbath. Whereas Passover and 1st UB day - the 14th and 15th - are “moveable feasts” occurring each year on different days of the week.]

     18 Jesus told them (two of the disciples) to go into the city to a certain man and say to him, “The Teacher says, my time is near, and I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.” 19 And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they went and prepared for the Passover. {The Passover meal would not be eaten until after sunset when Passover had ended, and 1st day of Unleavened Bread had begun.

     Jesus died on Passover (day) at the very hour of the Passover sacrifices. And he was put in the grave at 1st day of Unleavened Bread. And rose on Firstfruits.}

     05/08 - GospeL Verses 

37 - And though he had done so many signs before the people, they still didn’t believe, 38 so the word spoken by the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled - “Lord, who has believed his report? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?” 39 Therefore they couldn’t believe. For Isaiah had said (prophesied), 40 “HE has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.” 41 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory and spoke of him.

     42 Nevertheless, many even of the authorities believed in him, but for fear of the Pharisees they didn’t admit it, fearing they would be put out of {polite society} the synagogue, 43 for they esteemed the glory {and opinion} of man {and society of the day} more than the {opinion of and} glory that comes from God.

     44 So Jesus had cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me! Believes not in me but in he who sent me.” {The Son being the only straight out from God one, so close both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate thus “seal” humanity and creation.} 45 “And whoever sees me, sees he who sent me. 46 I came into the world as light - so that whoever believes in me will not have to remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and doesn’t keep them, I don’t judge them. For I didn’t come to judge the world, but to save the world.

     48 Whoever rejects me, and doesn’t receive my words has a judge. The word [truth, logos - “reasoning”/logic] that I have spoken will judge them in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment - what to say and speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is enduring [aionion] Life. What I say, therefore, is what the Father has told me to say.

      (“In the last day” - IN, is en, a preposition – meaning, properly - in, inside of, within, figuratively - in the realm/sphere of. Translated - “during” - seven times. During the last day, the “8th ‘day’” which follows the millennial Sabbath rest from enmity and the adversary.. Main outline, the week plus one.. the biG bang into the universe that is, theN was set in motion.. no option to stray in Eden would be humanity as an ant farm, so things run their course for six millennial days, then a Sabbath millennium,  followed by an “8th day” - for the fieRy defeat of the adversary and then the GWT judgment (the total discernment plus full closure for all) ‘day’ — veiled by Rev.20 being as though describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between. ..Father loves a good riddle?

1 - From Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,

To believers (called elect) who are spread out from the dispersion. Believers in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 may grace and peace be multiplied to you, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in all sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood {and life}. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope [elpis - hope, expectation, trust] through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead {we - Peter, etc. having seen and spent time with the resurrected Jesus, were fully renewed of soul and now were living in expectation/trust.. not merely hope, as good as hope is.} 4 Expectation of an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, incorruptible and unfading - stored in heaven for you - who 5 by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last [eschatos - last, final, utmost, extreme, final] time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes though it’s tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

1 - When Jesus had finished teaching all things, he said to his disciples, 2 “You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”

     3 The leaders, the chief priests and elders of the people, gathered together in the palace of Caiaphas the high priest. 4 And they plotted together how to secretly arrest Jesus and have him killed. 5 But they proposed, “Not during the feast, lest there be an uproar among the people.”

     6 Jesus meanwhile was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, 7 and a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he was reclining at table. 8 And when the disciples saw it, they said to one another, “Why this waste? 9 This could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” 10 But Jesus, aware of it, said, “Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing for me. 11 You have always the poor with you, but you won’t always have me. 12 In pouring this ointment on me, she has done it to prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in all the world, what she has done will also be told.”

          Paul’s Letter To Titus

8 - The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be concerned to devote theirselves to good works and effort. For these things are excellent and profitable for all. 9 But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels about the law and doctrines, for they’re unprofitable and worthless. 10 As for a person who stirs up division, warn them once, then twice, then have nothing more to do with them, 11 knowing that such a one is {still} warped and sinful, so is self condemned. {..Self condemned..}

     12 I will be sending Artemas or Tychicus to you, then do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I’ve decided to spend the winter there. 13 Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way, and see they lack nothing. 14 Encourage our people to learn to devote theirselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and so not be unfruitful. 15 All who are with me here, send you greetings. Greet all those who love us in the faith.

     And grace be with you all.

     05/06 - GospeL Verses 

20 - Now, there were among those who went up to worship at the feast, some Greeks (gentiles/not Hebrew) 21 who came to Philip, he being from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew, and then they went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus said, “The hour” (marked by gentiles seeking him) “has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 For truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it will bear much fruit. 25 Whoever loves their life loses it, and whoever hates [miseó - hates, loves less] their life of this world, will keep it for enduring life. 26 If anyone serves me, they will follow me. And where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor them.

     27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have glorified it. And I will glorify it again.”

     29 The crowd that was standing there and heard it said, “It thundered.” Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus said, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now will the ruler of this world be cast out.” (By this.) 32 “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all to me.” 33 He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

     34 So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 Jesus answered, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you. The one who walks in darkness doesn’t know where they are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light.”

When Jesus had said these things, he left the temple and withdrew himself from the people. (His public teaching, during this first brief advent, is over.)

         Paul’s Letter To Titus

1 - Remind them (believers of Crete) to be subject to rulers and authorities, tobe ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. {Still pertains. Even online, lol.} 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures {and untruths} passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and the loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because we were righteous, but according to his own mercy, and, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 which he pours out upon us abundantly, through Jesus our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace, we might become heirs - according to the hope [elpis - trust, expectation] - of (inhering) enduring life.

34 - (Jesus continues) “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you fed me. I was thirsty and you refreshed me with drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. 36 I was unclothed and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited [episkeptomai - visited, looked after, cared for] me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

     37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, or unclothed and clothed you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit and care for you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least, you did it to me.’

     41 Then he will say to those on the left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the aionion (pertaining to an age) fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, unclothed and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me and care for me.’ 44 Then they will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or unclothed or sick or in prison, and didn’t minister to you?’ 45 Then he will answer, ‘Truly, I tell you, as you didn’t do for one of the least of these, you didn’t do for me.’” {As we treat all others is how we treat him?} 46 “And these will go away into aionion/eonian correction, but the righteous into enduring life.” (Jn.5:28-29, Mt.25:46, and Rev.20, but which chapter is told like describing the crests of waves and not much of the in between.)

9 - Bondservants (paying of a debt/agreement/bond by working, today employees) should work well and be respectful, not argumentative or resentful. 10 Not pilfering, but showing all good faith in everything, so they may adorn the news of God our Savior.

     11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly longings, to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness {and entropy! imperfection/entropy (death)} and to purify to himself a people for his own who are zealous [zélótés - zealot(!) enthusiastic, fervent in support] for good [kalos - good, beautiful, noble, excellent, honorable] works [ergon]. 15 Declare these things Titus. Urge, encourage and convince with all authority. Let no one disregard you! {Because he was young?}

24 - But the one who had received the one coin came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you didn’t sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid and went, dug a hole in the ground, and hid your coin” {hid the small amount of spirit had}. “Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But the master answered, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! You know I reap where I  haven’t sown, and I gather where I scatter no seed? 27 So you should have invested my money with the bankers {usury - use - perhaps sacrificing “the world’s” approval and acceptance} and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the coin from that one and give it to the one who has the ten coins. 29 For to everyone who has {Spirit} will more be given, and they will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what they have will be taken away. 30 And cast the unfit servant into the {inner} outer darkness. Where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ (Mt.13:30/Rev.16:14-15-16.)

     31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels [messengers] with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne [thronos - throne, seat]. {“All the world is a stage” - Shakespeare.} 32 And before him will be - gathered {Rev.16:14-15-16} - all the nations. And he will separate them one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right. But the goats on the left.”
