GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 18:1-11
1 - It was about then the disciples came to Jesus, asking, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he said, 3 “Truly, I tell you, unless you become like this child, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 But whoever humbles their self like a child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. 6 But whoever causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better for them to have a heavy millstone hung around their neck and be thrown into the depth of the sea! 7 Woe to the world for the temptations to do wrong. For it’s bound to occur that temptations come, but woe to those from whom it comes. 8 If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it from you!. It’s better for you to be in life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into the gehenna fire. (Either the fiery inner torment, or one of the many fiery consequences that befall nations and peoples throughout history or the collective at the culmination. Or a reference to the city dump outside Jerusalem in Gehenna Valley where even the bodies of criminals were cast. So the fires were kept burning. Which the worm that doesn’t quit also fits the nature of corruption/imperfection.) 9 If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away! It’s better for you to enter [eiserchomai - to go in (to), enter, come into] life with one eye than to enter with two eyes the gehenna of fire.”
10 “See to it that you do not despise [kataphroneó - to think little of, consider lightly, low prioritize] any one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their spirit always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. (Little ones believe, even if not yet in words. They are taught un-faith.) 11 - (This is a disputed verse, but it is the meaning of the next verse.) For the Son of Man has come to save the lost. (Yes even the most depraved who would harm or intentionally mislead a child. See why what must be APPEASED, is ones own psyche? It can be quite brutal and wrathful. What God sends is turning, renewal, recovery, rebirth, healing until the ‘end’ - greek end-aim, Eph.1:10 - [to which the translators added “things” to “all” greek “pas”] - “At the fullness of time to gather all into Christ Jesus, the all in heaven (angels, no souls in heaven) and the all upon earth.” See Rev.21:5, but
cd all has been changed to all things. And Mt.13:33, key word 3, with 1Cor.15:22-24,28 - can you spot the THREE harvests/loaves? Barley, wheat, grape. Here’s another clue, aka, riddle - Mt.13:30 occurs when? Answer - Rev.16:13-16, yes?)

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Romans 16:1-12 ~
1 - I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church at Cenchreae, 2 that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her with whatever she may need, for she has been a helper of many and of myself as well. 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Jesus, 4 who risked their very necks for my life, to whom not only I give thanks but all the churches of the Gentiles give thanks as well. 5 Greet also the church in their house. Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in Asia. 6 Greet Mary, who has worked hard for you. 7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners. (Previously? Or did Paul finish this letter later in Jerusalem?) They are well known to the apostles, and they were in Christ before me. 8 Greet Ampliatus, beloved in the Lord. 9 Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys. 10 Greet Apelles, who is approved in Christ. Greet those who belong to the family of Aristobulus. 11 Greet my kinsman Herodion. Greet those in the Lord who belong to the family of Narcissus. 12 Greet those workers in the Lord, Tryphaena and Tryphosa. Greet the beloved Persis, who has worked hard in the Lord..
