GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 9:9-17
9 - As Jesus was walking on from there, he saw a man called Matthew (yes this Matthew) sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” (Now tax collecters were considered very unfavorably, as their job was the collecting of taxes for Imperial Rome!) And Matthew got up and followed him. 10 And later as Jesus reclined at table in the house of Matthew, many other tax collectors and sinners (not living according to the laws given to Moses for the nation) came and were at table with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this(!) They said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with these tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But Jesus heard it and said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, only those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (If we think we are perfect/self righteous, we are wRong. ..God is into mercy! “He has shown you, oh mortal, what is good. And what does he require of you? But to act justly and to love mercy [checed - favor, goodness, kindness] and to walk humbly with your God, Micah 6:8. (Walk with God. Which it helps if we are not terrified of him. Don’t get me going on defending him, concerning the slandering of him about things in the Old Testament, including two or three things he - did - actually do. What’s more merciful? Stop great evil from happening, or not? Maybe those stopped will thank him.) 4 Then the disciples of John came saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t?” 15 And Jesus answered, “Can the wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment! For the patch will shrink away from the cloth, and a worse tear is made. 17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins will burst, the wine will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so that both will expand together, and both will be preserved.”

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Romans 4:19-25 ~
19 - Abraham did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead, since he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. 20 No, unbelief did not make him waver concerning the promise of God (that he would be a father and progenitor of many nations) but he grew strong in his faith, as, he gave glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “credited to him as righteousness.” (Because he actually believed. And there was of course fruit of it.) 23 But the words “it was credited to him” weren’t written for his sake only, 24 but for ours as well. It will be credited to us who believe in him who raised our Lord Jesus from the dead, 25 who was delivered up (executed) for our trespasses and raised for our justification. (Strong enough to appease every guilty conscience, win over every delicate psyche, and heal and transform all. Although INITIAL conditions of SOME on that Last Great ‘Day’ of judgment/final discernment, aRe portrayed. Such as in the rich man and Lazarus parable. Also in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, which is obviously initial conditions of only some, and is spoken outside of the vision, as it does follow chaper 21! Where, note: translators added “things” to “all” - greek “pas” - in verse 5. Also in Eph.1:10, Col.1:20, and also to “one” in Jn.1:3 - These taken together, the new patch on the new garment, lol.)
