GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 23:1-12

1 - Then Jesus talking to the crowds and to his disciples said, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they say, but not as they do. For they preach, but they don’t practice. 4 Instead they tie up heavy burdens, hard to carry, and they lay them on people's shoulders. Yet they themselves are not willing to carry even a straw of them. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. [Phylaktḗrion - from phylássō - to keep, preserve – phylacteries (hebrew - tefillin) are small, leather cases containing four key passages of Scripture (Ex 13:1-10, 11-16; Dt 6:4-9, 13-21). They "rest over the heart" during prayer, also are strapped on the wrist and forehead to signify how the Word of God should regulate all behavior and thoughts.] 6 And they love the place of honor at the feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7 greetings in the marketplaces, and being called rabbi. 8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters. 9 And call no person on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 And don’t be called a teacher [kathégétés - leader, teacher, guide, master] for you have one teacher, Jesus. 11 The greatest among you shall be a servant (have the heart of servant/helper).12 Whoever exalts their self will be humbled, and whoever humbles their self will be exalted.”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                  ~ 1 Timothy 1:9-15 ~

9 - Understand this - the law is not for the just, but for the lawless and the disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for enslavers (slave traffickers), for liars, perjurers, and whatever contradicts sound doctrine, 11 which is all in accordance with the news of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted. 12 I thank him who has given me strength - Jesus our Lord - because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service, 13 though formerly I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a hateful opponent! But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief. 14 And for me the grace of our LORD overflowed, with the faith, and love, that are in Christ Jesus.15 This saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (greek hamartians - the “missing the mark” of perfection(!) Perfection is onLy possible by God.. and not until one of two vivifications/the “putting on of incorruptibility and, thus? immortality” ..to save sinners) of whom I (Paul) am foremost.
