8TH ‘DAY’ CU Journal, New Testament In A Year
Verses paraphrased due to ©‘s [[ref] {{thots}
༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 8:1-8
1 - Now concerning things offered to idols, we know we have knowledge. Yet knowledge puffs up, and it’s love that builds up. 2 If anyone imagines they know any different, they don’t yet know as they ought to know! 3 But if someone loves God, they can know, that they are known by God. {THE knowing/gnosis/wisdom/knowledge is knowing God. Which produces genuine love and affection, because he iS love. And life. One ruLe!? Love God!}
4 Therefore, as to this eating of food offered to idols, we know an idol isn’t anything. But that there is no God but one. 5 For although there may be many supposed ‘gods’ in the heavens and upon earth, many ‘gods’ and lords, 6 yet to us there is but one God. The Father, of whom is the all, and we for him. And one Lord, Jesus Christ, by and through whom are all, and we for him.
7 However, not all know this. But some, through former observances and rituals with idols, eat food as actually offered to another ‘god’, and their conscience is harmed. 8 But food doesn’t commend us to God. Whether we eat or we don’t eat, we’re no better off, nor are we worse off.
༺☾🌟𖤓༻ JOHN 13:1-20
1 - It was before the Feast of Passover and Jesus knew the hour had come to leave the world, and go to the Father. Having loved his disciples and followers, he loved them to the end. 2 Now during supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray him.
3 But Jesus, knowing the Father had put all [pas - all, every, the whole, each part of] into his hands - and that he had come from God - and was returning to God, 4 rose from supper, laid aside his outer clothing, and took a towel, and tied it around his waist. 5 Then he poured some water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel. [It was a courtesy to provide water for guests to wash their dusty, hot and tired feet, travel being mostly by foot.]
6 When he came to Simon Peter, Peter said, “Lord, do you wash my feet?!” 7 Jesus answered, “You don’t understand what I’m doing now, but you will later.”
8 Peter said, “Lord! You cannot wash my feet!” But Jesus said, “If I don’t do this, you will have no share with me in this work.” {😮 The “correcting/kolasis”! ..Later “aionion”/eonian during, let’s call it kolasis-2. The 2nd resurrection is separated from the “putting on of perfection and (thus) immortality” by the GWT Judgment/discernment/review of history and closure for all ‘Day’ - Rev.20 w/ Lev.23 as type, shadow and outline of the Lord’s two advents. Long 2nd advent surely will be a full scope version of his 1st so brief one? But with helpers serving, called reigning? ..The root word of Logic, is Logos.}
9 So Peter said, “Not just my feet! But my hands and my head too!” 10 Jesus said, “Someone who has already bathed, needs only to wash their feet. And all of you are clean but one.” {The spiritual bath portrayed by baptism?}
11 He knew who was going to betray him. That was why he said, “All but one.” 12 When he was done, he put his outer clothing back on, and sat back down. He said, “Do you know why I did that? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have {been so humble as to have} washed your feet, you also should be likewise. 15 For I’ve given you an example, that you should do just as I’ve done.
16 Truly, I tell you, a servant isn’t greater than his master. Nor is a messenger greater than the one who sends the message.
17 If you know these things, you’re blessed if you do them. 18 I’m not speaking of all of you. I know who I’ve chosen. But the Scripture says, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me’ and it shall be fulfilled. 19 I’m telling you this now, before it happens, so when it does happen you’ll believe that I’m he. 20 Truly, I tell you, whoever receives the one I send, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives the Father who sent me.”
Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
