a paraphrased ‘enter the story’
🍃🕊️ reading & study 🕊️🍃
05/16 ~ From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
1 - Since therefore Jesus suffered in this life, arm yourselves with the same thinking, for whoever has suffered in this life, has ceased from habitual wrongdoing, 2 and strives to live for the rest of the time in this life, no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3 For the time is past and suffices for doing what the nations {natural, imperfect mankind} want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and the lawlessness idolatry results in. 4 So people {especially gentile nations at the time?} think it strange when you don’t run with them in the way of debauchery {gentile rites} and they speak evil of you. 5 But they’ll give account to he who is - ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 And - to this end indeed - even to the dead, the good news is announced. {During second half of millennium 8.} So judged {and discerned} indeed according to mankind in this life {as we presently know it} but alive however in the spirit according to God.
7 The end of all things is at hand {that age, concluding at 70 CE} therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep genuinely and wholeheartedly loving one another, since love covers a multitude of sins [of hamartia - missing the mark, flaws, shortcomings].
