☀️ Romans 3:7-18
7 - But if through my lie God's truth abounds to his glory, why am I still being reckoned as a sinner? 8 And why not do evil that good may come of it? As some people are slanderously charging us with saying! Trouble is bound to follow after them.
9 What then? Are we Hebrews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jew and Greek, are under sin [hamartia - missing the mark]. 10 As it’s written, {without God’s intervention and fulfilling our highest blueprint in us} “none are righteous, no, not one. 11 No one understands, no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside, all together they have become lacking and profane. There’s no one who does good [chréstotés - kindness, goodness, gentleness, from chrēstos - useful, good] not even one. 13 Their throat is like an open grave, they use their tongues to deceive, and the venom of snakes is under their tongue and on their lips. 14 Their mouth is full of curses, slander and bitterness. 15 Their feet are swift to shed blood. 16 In their paths are ruin and misery! 17 And the way of peace they have not known. 18 There is no reverence of God before their eyes.” {Imperfection is an abyss of potential. We all need to be born anew, “the seed Jesus” planted in us..(Gal.3:16) and watered.. fed 📜🍞+🍷🕊️(+Logic)}
🌙 Matthew 7:1-20
(Jesus continues while sitting at the side of a mountain.) 1 - “Judge not - so you - will not be judged. 2 For how you judge others, is how you will be judged, and with the measure you use, is how it will be measured back to you. 3 Why do you see the speck in your brother or sister’s believer’s eye, but don’t notice the log that’s in your eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother or sister, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye’ - when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you’ll see clearly to take the tiny speck out of your brother's eye.
6 Don’t try to give to the irreverent what is holy, and don’t throw pearls before them, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn to trample you as well.
7 Ask, and it’ll be given to you. Seek, and you’ll find. Knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives. And the one who seeks, finds. And to the one who knocks it’ll be opened. 9 Or which of you, if their child asks for bread, will give them a stone? 10 Or if they ask for a fish, will give them a serpent? 11 If you then, being [poneros difficulty causing] know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good [agathos - good, beneficial] things to those who ask him!
12 So treat others how you would like others to treat you! This is - the Law - and the Prophets. {Sum and substance of?}
13 Enter by the narrow gate! For the gate is wide, and the way easy that leads to calamity [apóleia - ruin, loss, destruction] and many are therein. 14 For small is the gate and narrow is the way to {aionion} life and those who find the way are few. 15 So beware of the false, who come in sheep's clothing {talk a good talk} but actually they are ravenous wolves. 16 You’ll recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorn bushes? Or figs from thistles? 17 A healthy tree bears good fruit, but an unhealthy tree bears fruit that is not good. 18 A healthy tree can’t bear noxious fruit nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t bear good fruit {character} is cut down and thrown into the fire. {Aka, will go through gehenna crash, whether collective, or personal.} 20 And so you can recognize them by the effects they produce and the fruit they display.”
