            ☀️ 1 Timothy 1:9-15

(Verse 8, Paul against other doctrine — We know the law is good, if one uses it lawfully) 9 but understanding this, that the law isn’t scribed/written for the just. But is written for the lawless and disobedient. For the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for enslavers, and liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching. 11 This is a part of the gospel/message/good news {and program/administration} of the {radiant, undeniable} GL0RY of the blessed God, with which I (Paul) have been entrusted.

     12 I thank he who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, and appointed me to his service.

     13 Though formerly I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent opponent! But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly and in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that is found in Christ Jesus. 15 And this saying is true and trustworthy, and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners [hamartólos - from hamartanō - to miss the mark] {to save hamartians, the imperfect, all of us}. And I (Paul) am the worst of them all.

            🌙 Matthew 23:1-12

1 - Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not as they do. For they preach, but don’t practice.

     4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and they lay them on people's shoulders. But they themselves don’t have to carry them.

     5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others, making their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. 6 They love the places of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and to be greeted in the marketplaces and called rabbi.

     8 But you should not be called rabbi. For you have one teacher. And you are all brothers and sisters. 9 And call no one Father, for you have one Father, who’s in heaven. 10 Neither be called teachers, for you have one teacher, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be as a servant. 12 Whoever exalts their self will be humbled. And whoever humbles their self will be honored.
