• 1 Peter 3:15-22 John 14:22-31 and summary of Paul’s travels separately
☀️ A.M. 1 Peter 3:15-22
15 - In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy {sacred, above reproach} always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason of the hope [elpis - expectation, trust, confidence] that’s in you, yet with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so when you’re slandered, those who insult your good behavior in Christ will know otherwise.
17 It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that be God's will, than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins [harmartia - missing the mark, falling short, imperfection, wrongs] the righteous on behalf of the unrighteous {the perfect on behalf of the imperfect} that he might bring us to God. Though having been put to death, but alive however in spirit. 19 Same as he went and proclaimed to the spirits under guard {locked into the coming deluge} 20 because in the old time, they didn’t obey, when was waiting God's patience in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through. 21 {Same Spirit at work with each one of us.} And baptism, which corresponds to this {perishing of the self centered/self first carnality} now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body {bodily bathing} but as an appeal to God for a clear conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven, and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been made subject to him.
🌙 P.M. John 14:22-31
22 - Judas (not Iscariot, Jude) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you’ll reveal yourself to us, and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered, “If anyone loves me, they’ll keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we’ll come and make our home with them.
24 But whoever doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. And the word/message you’ve heard isn’t mine but the Father's who sent me.
25 These things I’ve spoken to you while I’m still with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit {/Presence of God} which the Father will send in my name, will teach you all and bring to your remembrance all I’ve said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, and not as the world gives, so don’t let your hearts be troubled, nor let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say, I’m going away, and will come to you, if you love me, rejoice. Because I’m going to the Father, and the Father is greater than I. 29 And now, I’ve told you before it happens, so when it does take place you’ll believe. 30 Not much longer will I talk with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, 31 but I do as the Father has told me, so the world may know that I love the Father. Let’s go from here now.”
