            ༺☀️༻ 1 Corinthians 9:1-11

1 - Am I not free? Am I (Paul) not an apostle? Haven’t I seen Jesus our Lord? Are you not my evidence in the Lord? 2 If to others I’m not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the fruit and proof of my apostleship in the Lord.

     3 This is my defense to those who would test me. 4 Do we too have the right to eat and drink? 5 Do we have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Peter? 6 Or is it only Barnabas and I who are criticized and haven’t the right to not toil for a living? 7 Who serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard without eating any of its fruit? Or who tends a flock without getting some of the milk?

     8 Do I say these things on human authority? Does not the Law say the same? 9 For it’s written in the Law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain.” Is it only for oxen that God is concerned? 10 Does he not certainly speak for our sake? It was written for our sake, because the plowman should plow in hope. And the thresher should thresh in hope of sharing in the crop. 11 If we have sown spiritual things among you, is it a great thing if we reap earthly things among you? (Verse 4.) {A few meals. Paul and others were establishing groups of believers as a system of discipling. This ‘church’ was acting carnally, or at least some were, so he’s addressing all of it in this letter.}

           ༺☾🌟𖤓༻ JOHN 14:12-21 

[Jesus continues, on the eve of his crucifixion.] 12 - “Truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do. And greater [megas - large, great, in the - widest - sense] works than these they will do, because I’m going to the Father.

     13 Whatever you ask in my name [onoma - name, authority, cause] I’ll do it, this is so the Father will be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name [authority, cause] I’ll do it.

     15 If you love me, you’ll keep my instructions. 16 And I’ll ask the Father, and another {other? allos - other, another] helper [paráklētos - from pará, "from close beside" and kaléō - make a call; properly, a legal advocate who makes the right judgment call because close enough to the situation; advocate, advisor-helper] will give you, 

to be with you to the age, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it doesn’t see him or know him. You know him. For he is with you, and, will be in you. {The Father’s Presence.}

     18 I’m not leaving you as orphans, but I’ll come to you. 19 Yet a little while and the world will no longer see me, but you’ll see me. And because I live, you’ll live also. 20 In that day you’ll know I’m in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my instructions and keeps them, it is they who love me. And they who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them, and will make myself known to them.”

Jesus “will draw all” Jn.12:32.
