GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 11:1-10

1 - When Jesus had finished giving instructions to his twelve disciples (and sent them out two by two) he went on from there to teach and preach in the surrounding cities. 2 When John heard in prison about all that Jesus had been doing, he sent word to Jesus by his disciples 3 and they said to him, “Are you the one who is expected, or should we wait for another?” 4 Jesus answered, “Go and tell John what you hear and see, 5 how the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news preached to them. 6 Blessed is the one who does not stumble over me.” 7 As they were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John. “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothing? Look, those who wear fine clothing are in kings' houses. 9 So what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, a prophet, and more than a prophet. 10 This is he of whom it is written,

‘Behold, I send my messenger, who will prepare the way before you.’”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ Romans 6:8-16 ~

8 - Now if we have died with Christ (reckoned our carnal self first, etc, nature as crucified with him) we believe that we shall also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again. Death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For dying he died to sin, once and for all. And the life he lives he is living unto God. 11 So you also, consider yourself as dead to sin and alive to God in Jesus. 12 If you let sin rule, it will reign in your body, and it will make you obey it. 13 Don’t hand yourself over to error as tools for error, but give yourself to God. As one who has been plucked up from death and planted into life. So give your very self to God as a tool for righteousness. 14 For no sin [no missing the mark] will have dominion over you, since you are not under law but you are living in grace. (God’s soft energy that carries along and enables? And in favor.) 15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Of course not! 16 Don’t you know to whatever you present yourself to as an obedient slave, you are a slave of what you obey. Which is either of sin [missing the mark] which leads to and results in death. Or obedience, which leads to righteousness? [Dikaiosuné - righteousness, justice, from dikaios - correct, righteous, innocent.]
