☀️ Romans 2:6-16
6 - ..He will give to each one, according to their works and actions. 7 To those who with patient forbearance pursue the good - there will be glory, honor and immortality, (for) they are seeking life aionion. {Seeking Life. Good, Communion. Unity.}
8 But for those who are self-seeking and not obeying the truth, being convinced of unrighteousness, there remains the wrath {cause and effect} and a rising indignation upon every soul working evil. {A natural law because God iS life, and “is perfect” so imperfect is this slow and unavoidable gehenna? Unavoidable because an ant farm is no paradise/perfection? And would not be genuine Life.}
10 But glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good. 11 For God shows no partiality. 12 All who have sinned [hamartanó - missed the mark, erred] whether with (knowing) the law, or without the law {of Moses, the ten society preserving laws} will perish. All according to law. {Ultimately, the law that God is Life and “is Perfect”. So imperfect is a process “not put out” - opposite to Life - and headed away from life. So “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10. “HE has subjected all to disobedience” {to this straying, imperfection} Ro.11:32. {By waiting for a first going rogue one, a high seraphim? Only then - creating the universe and appointing that one as a “covering angel over Eden”. And so, all of heaven and all of earth are taking this unavoidable journey all together at once.}
13 It’s not hearers who are righteous before God, but doers. 14 For when Gentiles {these days, not yet believers} who don’t understand the law, by nature do as the law says, 15 it shows it’s written in their hearts, and they’re following a good conscience. Our thoughts will accuse or excuse us, 16 on that ‘day’ when God will judge the secrets of men/mankind according to the gospel (news) of Christ Jesus.
“On that day” (during) the “last day”, last half of the “8th” ‘day’/aion? REV.20, Lev.23:36, Jn.7:37.}

🌙 Matthew 5:38-48
(Jesus’ “Sermon on the Mountain” continued.) 38 - “You have heard it said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?’ 39 I say to you, don’t resist evil. If someone should slap you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek. 40 And if anyone would sue you and take your shirt, let them have your coat as well.
41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two. 42 Give to the one who asks from you, and don’t refuse the one who would borrow.
43 You’ve heard it said, ‘You shall love your neighbor/fellow person, and hate your enemy.’ 44 Well I say, love your enemies and pray for those who misuse you! 45 So you may be sons and daughters of your Father who’s in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise upon both evil and good, and sends rain upon the just and the unjust.
46 If you love only those who love you, of what benefit is that? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?” [Irony, Matthew, the author, was a tax collector before following Jesus. ..Hebrew tax collectors for occupier Rome, so considered by society, as low in society.]
47 “And if you greet only your brethren and friends, what more are you doing than others? Don’t even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father” {who iS Life} “is perfect”.
{Perfect is a work of GOD in us, and “he is faithful to complete the work he begins” Philippians 1:6.}
