8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year, Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [ref] {thots}

            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

26 - Consider this, how not many of us were wise according to worldly standards. Not many were powerful. Not many were of noble birth.

     27 God chose what is foolish in the world’s eyes, to shame the {so called} wise! God chose what is weak in the world’s opinion, to shame the strong! 28 He chose those from out of humble stations, and from what is looked down upon in the world!

     And he has also chosen things that aren’t, to bring to nothing things that are. [“..The (things) not being, that the (things) being might be annulled”] {how things/life is now? Is not how it shall be?}

      29 This is so none may boast before God. 30 And it’s because of him, that you are in Christ Jesus, in he who is our wisdom from God! And righteousness and sanctification [hagiasmos - consecration, process of advancing in purity, from hagios - sacred and pure, free of contamination] and redemption/rescue.

    31 As it’s written, “Let any one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

            ༺☾𖤓༻ MARK 13:9-13

(Jesus continues.) 9 -  “Be on your guard. For there will be those who will deliver you over to courts and councils. You’ll be beaten and flogged, and you’ll stand before governors and kings because of me, and you’ll bear witness to them.

     10 It’s necessary the gospel be first proclaimed to all nations.” {Before the conclusion. Jerusalem razed in 70 CE was the end of an era. There have been many ends of kingdoms, etc. And of course(?) there shall be a world collective conclusion.. “All the world’s a stage” Shakespeare. “And the ancient of days took his seat..” Dn.7:9.}

     11 “And when that happens, and they bring you to court and deliver you to trial, don’t worry about what you’ll say, just say whatever’s given you in that hour, for it’s not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God. The Holy Ghost, which logically, has to fill all, what with God being Life itself.}

     12 “Even brother will deliver brother over to death, the father his own child, and children will rise up against parents, and have them put to death. 13 You’ll be hated by all because of my cause [onoma - name, reputation, cause]. But the one who endures to the end will be delivered [sṓzō - from sōs - safe, rescued – properly, delivered out of danger and into safety, saved, deliverrd, protected, made whole]..”

     {…Sure is good to know God/Love/Perfection/Life ultimately wins all! One and done. The Harmony will be great, and all will have genuine affection for all! How do you create genuinely able to think and reason beings, aNd, keep paradise/perfection intact? ..”The lion will eat straw like the ox. And bear and cow will graze together..” Isaiah 11:7.

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
