            ☀️ Ephesians 1:1-10

1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God - To the saints [hagios - sacred, set apart] who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

     2 Grace to you! And peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord, who has blessed us in him with every spiritual blessing of the heavenly realms. 4 Even as he chose us in him before the world, that we should be holy [from hagos "a fearful thing"] and blameless before him, in love. 5 He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ, according to what he purposes, the working out of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace! With which he has blessed us in the beloved.

     7 In him we have redemption {changed course} through his blood {and Life} the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the richness of his grace, 8 which he has lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight, 9 making known to us the mystery of his will. And this is according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ Jesus, 10 as THE plan for the fullness {completion} of time, to unite all in him. The all of heaven and the all upon earth. [All is pas - “all, every, the whole”. The word “things” was inserted three times in this verse, turning “all” into “all things”. Due to translator partial disbelief?]

            🌙 John 9:1-13

1 - As Jesus was passing by, he saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “It wasn’t that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him.” {Same for this whoLe imperfection/entropy, allowed, oR we could be an ant farm.}

     Jesus continued, 4 “We must work the works of He who sent me while it’s day. Night’s coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I’m in the world, I’m the light of the world.”

     6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made mud, and anointed the man's eyes with the mud. 7 Then he said, “Go and wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

     8 The neighbors and some who had seen him before as a beggar were saying, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” 9 Some said, “It is.” Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he kept saying, “I am the man!” 10 So they said, “Then how were your eyes opened?” 11 He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud and anointed my eyes and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed and received my sight.”12 They said to him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

     13 And they brought the man who had been born blind, to the Pharisees.
