• 1 Timothy 1:1-8 Matthew 22:34-46 and Rev.20:11-21:3 separately
☀️ 1 Timothy 1:1-8
1 - Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by command [epitagé - command, order, directive, injunction; from epí, "suitably on," {up close?} intensifying tássō - arrange(ment) a command "fitting" to the situation, i.e. an order that arranges things so they build on (Gk epi) each other to achieve the needed goal, thus epitagḗ - a structured command, also stresses the authority of the command] (by command) of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus our expectation,
2 To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I urged you when I was leaving to go to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so you may charge certain ones not to teach different doctrine. 4 Nor to devote their time to myths and endless genealogies {myths and many ideas ..that say follow me?} which only promote speculations rather than the stewardship and training from God that is by faith. [2Tim.3:16.]
5 The aim and goal is love that issues from a pure heart [pure - katharos - free of admixture/contamination, root of catharsis] a good conscience [syneídēsis - an innate discernment, self-judging consciousness] and a sincere [anypókritos - from A - not, and hypokrínomai – not feined or phony, real and genuine] faith [pistis - to be persuaded, convinced, having confidence].
6 Certain persons, by swerving from these (pure heart, good conscience, and a genuine faith) have wandered away into vain discussion, 7 desiring to be teachers, but neither understanding what they’re saying or the things about which they make such confident assertions. 8 For instance, we know the law is good, if it’s used lawfully..
{But not endless debates over. And we do not and cannot “earn” Life.. as if God would owe us. Paul interpreted it as “saved by faith”. Saved from what? Death, its cause, and the imperfection/entropy leading to its conclusion. We are transplanted into receiving the enduring Life, which of course, is God Himself. 🎺🎉 He gives the faith, puts us on the born-again, being transformed into the likeness of his Son “way”. How else can paradise/perfection ever remain intact?}
🌙 Matthew 22:34-46
34 - Now when the Pharisee party heard Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered around him. 35 One of them, a lawyer, wanting to test him, asked him a question. 36 “Teacher” he said, “which is the great commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus answered, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it, you shall love your fellow person as yourself. 40 On these two hang all the Law and Prophets.”
41 Now while they were gathered around him, he asked them a question, 42 “What do you think about the Christ (Greek for Messiah)? Whose son is he?”
They answered him, “The son of David.” 43 So he asked them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, 44 “‘The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I set your enemies under your feet”’? 45 If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” 46 None were able to give him an answer, and from that day, no one dared ask him any more such questions.
