paraphrased ‘enter the story’

     🕊️reading & study 🕊️

1 - Paul, Silas, and Timothy,

To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus!

     3 We are bound always to give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is right! For your faith continues to grow. And the love you have for one another is abundant and increasing. 4 And so we have boasted about you in the churches of God! We have boasted about your faith and steadfastness during all your persecutions and troubles, which you are patiently enduring. 5 To us, this is evidence that you’re worthy of the kingdom of God. Or you wouldn’t be suffering because of it! 6 And indeed God considers it just to repay with troubles those who trouble you {reaping as sowing}. 7 And you yourselves will rest with us in the revelation and revealing of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with his mighty angels 8 — in flaming fire, giving retribution to those not knowing God and not obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus {in that day}. 9 On that day they will suffer the penalty [diké - justice] of aionion (eonian - of the eon/age) doom and ruin, separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his might, (Mt.25:10 is to?) 10 wheN he comes to be glorified in his followers, and to be marveled at among all who have believed. {The bound to be(?) fiery doom and ruin, is earthly, not an afterlife of fiery immortal death.} 11 And it’s to this end we always pray for you. That our God may make you worthy of his calling, and may complete his good work of faith in you, by HiS power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him {one day, where, and when, the Mt.25:10 door goes to} according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus.

Tomorrow - 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10

My own studies, had to paraphrase to post.. which has turned out to be an interesting way to ‘enter the ‘story’. 

Start the day with a Psalm (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150)
