09/03 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

16 - Don’t be misled, my beloved brethren! 17 Every good gift, every perfect gift, is from above! It comes down from the Father of light [of photon - radiance]. And he is not like the shifting shadows that change throughout each day. 18 It is his own will that he brought us forth by the word/message/reasoning/logos of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. {To serve called reigning during Jesus’ long second advent? Full scope version of his first so brief one? Note: the three mentions of lake of fire are at huge fiery events.}

      19 Know this, my beloved, let every one be quick to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger. 20 For human anger doesn’t produce the righteousness {and rightness} of God. 21 Therefore having put away all moral contamination and rampant wickedness [kakopoiéō - wicked disposition, malice, wickedness] {state of hatred? malice, galatians 5:20} receive with humility the implanted word [logos - reasoning, root word of logic] which is able to save your souls [psuché - soul, life, self, inner being]. 22 But don’t deceive and mislead yourself! Being only hearers of the word. But be doers of it! [Doer - performer, poet.]
