Hebrews 9:6-10  Luke 4:31-44

            ☀️ A.M. Hebrews 9:6-10

6 - For the (tabernacle, temple) preparations and rituals, the priests go regularly into the first {entry} section, 7 but into the second interior room, only the high priest goes. And he but once a year. And not without taking blood {strong enough to convince and appease every conscience} which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people. [Annually on Day of Atonement, DOA.] {A “shadow and type” of the real DOA, for the initiaLLy doa.}

     8 By this the Holy Spirit{/Presence of God} indicates that the way into the most holy place {his presence} is not yet opened as long as the first section is still standing, 9 which is symbolic for the present age.  {This present reality. This entropy! A slow gehenna. We could not endure His Full Presence. Purity consumes impurity. We are still entropic/imperfect - Heb.11:40, 1Cor.15:54.}

     According to the old arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect [teleiōsai] {satisfy} the conscience of the worshiper {once and for all} 10 but it deals only with food and drink and various washings [baptismos] and regulations imposed until the time of restoring [diorthosis - reformation, correction, improvement] {of humanity, which began with Jesus’ first advent, and will be fully completed during his long second advent}.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 4:31-44

31 - Jesus went back to Capernaum of Galilee, and was teaching on the Sabbath. 32 The people were astonished at his teaching, for his words were skillful and spoken with authority. 33 There was a man in the synagogue who had {was contaminated with} the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “Ha! What have you to do with us?! You Jesus of Nazareth! Have you come to destroy us?! I know who you are! The Holy One of God!”

     35 Jesus said, “Be silent and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown the man down in their midst of them, he came out, and the man suffered no injury.

     36 Amazed, the people were saying, “What is this?! For with authority and power he even commands the unclean spirits, and they obey!” 37 And so reports and word of him went out to all places in the region.

     38 After that, he left the synagogue and went to Simon's house. Simon Peter’s mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, so they appealed to him on her behalf. 39 And he went to her and rebuked the fever, and it left her, and immediately she rose, and she prepared a meal for them.

    40 Later on, when the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases, brought them to him. And he healed them by touching and laying his hands on every one of them. 41 And demons also came out of many, crying, “You are the Son of God!” But he rebuked them and wouldn’t allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Christ, the Messiah.

    42 On the next day, he went out to a lonely place. But the people looked for him and found him, and were urging him to stay with them, 43 but he said, “I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns as well. For this is why I was sent.” 44 And so in those days, he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

If you happened to read yesterday’s gospel reading and study, somehow I got it in a wrong order. It was way out of place. Not shocking, I’m 71 afterall, and I ‘knew’ it, but it was a busy day. ..Don’t you just love reading about Jesus’ days? You should read yesterday’s, I fixed it.

 Jude 1:14-19  Luke 24:13-29

            ☀️ A.M. Jude 1:14-19

14 - It was also about this that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with myriads of his holy ones, 15 to work/cause justice upon all [pas - every, all, the whole]. {Two examples of pas not converted into “all things”.} To - convince - the ungodly concerning all the works of ungodliness impiously done, and concerning the severe things the ungodly have spoken against him.”

     16 And of such are these grumblers, the malcontents, following their own lusts, they are loud boasters, causing a stir in order to gain advantage. {To gain a following? Which often winds up involving money? Or maybe just to be deemed okay by “the world”.}

     17 But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, 18 how they said, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”19 It is such as these that cause divisions. They are worldly, devoid of the Spirit{/Presence of God}.

            🌙 P.M. Luke 24:13-29

13 - That same day two of them were walking to a village called Emmaus, which is about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking to one another about all that had happened. 15 And while they were walking along and talking, Jesus drew near and began to walk with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from seeing who he was.

     17 And he said, “What’s this you’re talking about as you walk along?”

     They stopped, and looking sad, 18 one of them, Cleopas, said, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know all that has just happened there?”

     And he said, “What do you mean?”

     And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth! A man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people!

     20 And how our leaders delivered him up to be condemned, and had him crucified! {Executed}. 21 And we had hoped he was the one to deliver Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it’s now the third day since it happened, 22 and some women of our company have amazed us by saying they saw him alive!

     For they were at the tomb, early in the morning, 23 and didn’t find his body, but they saw a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said. But they didn’t see him.”

     25 Then Jesus said, “Oh foolish and slow of heart to believe all the prophets have spoken.” {Same with translators? Mistranslating two or three (important) things due to disbelief?}

     26 “Wasn’t it necessary for the Christ [the Messiah, both words mean anointed one, anointed to be king and “savior of the world”] to suffer these things and come into his glory?”

     27 Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he related to them the Scriptures about himself.

     28 And as they drew near to the village he walked as though he would continue on, 29 but they said to him, urging him strongly, “Come with us and stay! For it’s almost sunset and the day is far spent.” So he went with them.

ACTS 2 22-41

 Luke wrote “of the things fulfilled among us” paraphrased  [ ] ref  { } thots

     Book of the Acts of the First Believers

(Review - At Pentecost that year, seven weeks after resurrection, the Holy Spirit(/Presence of God) was poured out upon the believers. It came as a wild and rushing wind which caused quite a stir and confusion among those in Jerusalem for Pentecost, so Peter stood up to speak, and concluded with) 22 - “Fellow Israelites, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man, was shown to you by God with many mighty works, wonders, and signs, that God did through him among you — as you yourselves know. 23 This Jesus, was delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, when you crucified and killed him by the hands of lawless men.” {The gone astray, lawless world.} 24 “But God raised him up, loosing the anguish of death, because it wasn’t possible for death to hold him. 25 For David [known to be a prophetical ‘type’ of Jesus]  says concerning it, ‘I saw the LORD always before me, for he is at my right hand that I may not be shaken, 26 therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced! My flesh/body also will abide in expectation. 27 For you will not abandon my soul to hades” [verse 27 is a - word for word - quote of Ps.16:10, only replacing “sheol, where there’s no doing nor knowing/awareness” Eccles.9:10, with the Greek hades - not seen (aka gone)] “nor will you let your holy one see corruption. 28 You make known to me the path of Life! You make me full of gladness with your Presence!’” [Soul is nephesh - soul/psyche, life, self, person, heart, creature, mind, living being. “You will not abandon me ..to (the) sheol.”}

     29 “Brethren! I may say to you with confidence, about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried. His tomb is with us to this day. 30 Being therefore a prophet, he knew God had sworn with an oath (Ps.45:23) to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne (Ps.132:11). 31 And he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to sheol, nor did his flesh see corruption” (Ps.16:10, according to original word use).

     32 “This Jesus, God raised up. And of that - we’re all witnesses. 33 Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of His Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.” {Father and Son are so close, both administer God’s Spirit/Presence, same as will saturate and seal” all creation and humanity.}

     34 For David didn’t ascend into the heavens! But he prophesied - ‘The LORD said to my Lord, sit at my right hand, 35 until I make your enemies your footstool.’” [1Cor.15:22-28 w/ Mt.13:33, key word 3, barley, wheat, grape. Whereas Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:14-15-16 and, or Mt.25:1-13(10) — Much later completing JN.5:28,29].

     36 “Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.”

     37 Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers! What shall we do!?”

     38 And Peter said, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins [hamartia - missing the mark] and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, all whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” {Exodus 33:14 - “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”}

     40 And with many other words he bore witness (testified) saying, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation/what was generated!” {This imperfection/entropy, that “doesn’t quit”. Purposely generated/allowed, because an Ant Farm is no paradise.} 41 So those who received his message were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls.

05-24 - From 2Pet-2,3 Mt-26 Jn-18

 N.Testament & Prophecy Advanced CU Study, verses paraphrased  [ ] references { } thots

 • 2 Peter 2:18-3:7  Mt.26:58-75 Jn.18:15-27

            ☀️ A.M. 2 Peter 2:18-3:7

18 - Speaking loud boasts of foolishness, they entice by sensual passions of human nature, those who only recently escaped living in error.

     19 They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that they’re a slave! 20 For if, after we have escaped the contamination of the world, through knowing of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and we are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse than the first. 21 For it would have been better never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment received. 22 Then what the proverb says has happened! “The dog returns to its excrement, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

     3:1 - This is now the second letter I (Peter) am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I’m stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2 that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through the apostles, 3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days scoffing, following their own sinful desires. 4 They will say, “Where’s the promise of his coming!? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things are the same since the formation.”

     5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens of old, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God {a spoken biG bang into the universe as is, then set in motion} 6 and that by means of these (waters) the world that then existed {where “every thought was only evil” thus act. Imperfect is an abyss of potential and pre-flood was hands off.. even(?) cannibaalism? Was widespread? So was} deluged with water and perished. {Like being transplanted in a not yet rained on garden, awaiting rising/resurrection into an “aionion kolasin” mt.25:46 / eonian korrection / aGe of correction during the 8th millennial day. Rev.20 is told like describing only the crests of waves and not much of the in between.}

     7 But by the same word {logos - truth, reasoning} the heavens and earth that now exist are headed toward the fiery day of judgment, and the destruction of ungodly man(kind). [Peter, seeing as a prophet.]

     {Is.24:20 - “The Earth will shake to and fro” Rev.10:4 - “when the 7 thunders make their voices heard”. The 3 mentions of lake of fire, are at huge, fiery events.}

            🌙 P.M. Mt.26:58-75 (or) Jn.18:15-27

  (Eye witness accounts always differ in details. Jesus has been arrested, and is being immediately tried.) Mt.26:58 - Peter was following at a distance. He went as far as the courtyard of the high priest. And then going inside the courtyard, he sat with the guards to see what would happen. 59 Now the chief priests and the whole council of leaders were holding court and seeking false testimony against Jesus, so they could have him put to death. 60 But although many false witnesses came forward, they were finding nothing that would suffice. But at last two came forward who said, 61 “We heard this man say he could destroy the temple of God! And rebuild it in three days!”

     62 So the high priest stood up and said, “Have you no answer to make?! What is it that these men accuse you of?”

     63 But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, “I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God!”

    64 Jesus answered, “You, have said so. And, I tell you now, you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.” {Those individuals will during GWT Judgment/discernment/review/closure for all ‘Day’, the “aionion kolasis” mt.25:46 / eonian korrection / age of correction.}

     65 Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “He has uttered blasphemy! What further witnesses do we need! You have now heard his blasphemy! 66 What is your judgment?” They answered, “He deserves death!”

     67 Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him, 68 saying, “Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?”

     69 Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”

     70 But he denied it before all, saying, “I don’t know what you mean.” 71 And he went out to the entrance, but another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.” 72 And again he denied it with an oath, “I don’t know the man!”

     73 After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for you have the Galilean accent.” 74 Then, cursing again, he said, “I tell you! I do not know the man!”

     And immediately he heard a rooster crow.

75 And he remembered how Jesus had said, “Before the rooster crows, you’ll deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.

     JOHN.18:15 - Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple (John, the author). Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he entered with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest. 16 But Peter stood outside near the door. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, spoke to the servant girl who kept watch at the door, and brought Peter in. 17 The servant girl at the door said to Peter, “You’re not one of this man's disciples, are you?” And he said, “No, I’m not.”

     18 Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves. So Peter stood with them, warming himself.

     19 The (former) high priest (father in law to the current high priest, Jn.18:13) was questioning Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

     20 Jesus answered, “I’ve spoken openly to the world [kosmos- kósmos - literally, something ordered – properly, an ordered system. The english word cosmetic, is derived from kósmos - world, universe, adornment].

     I’ve taught in the synagogues and in the temple, where the people come together. I’ve said nothing in secret. 21 Why do you ask me? Ask those who’ve heard me. For they know what I’ve said.”

     22 One of the officers standing by struck Jesus, saying, “Is that how you answer the high priest?!”

     23 Jesus answered, “If what I said is wrong, bear witness about the wrong, but if what I said is right, why do you strike me?” 24 Then Annas sent him, still bound, to Caiaphas the (acting) high priest.

     25 Now Peter was standing and warming himself, and they said to him, “Are you not one of his disciples?” He denied it, saying, “No, I’m not.” 26 But one of the servants of the high priest, who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you in the garden with him?” 27 Peter again denied it.

     And at once a rooster crowed.

ACTS 6 1-15

   Book of the Acts of the First Believers

1 - In those  days when the disciples were growing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists (greek believers) arose against the Hebrew believers for they said their widows were being neglected in the helpful sharings. 2 So the twelve called together all the disciples and said, 3 “Pick out from among yourselves seven men of good reputation, who are full of the Spirit of God and wisdom. And appoint them to this duty. 4 And then we apostles can continue to focus on prayer and proclaiming the message [logos]. 5 And what they said pleased the whole gathering.

     The men they chose were Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a convert of Antioch. 6 And they brought them to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

     7 And so the word of God continued to spread, and the number of disciples greatly increased in Jerusalem. Even a great many of the priests became followers. 8 And Stephen, who was full of grace and God’s Spirit(/Presence), was doing wonderful signs and wonders among the people. 9 But some of those who belonged to the Freedmen, as they’re called, made up of Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen. 10 They couldn’t refute the spirit and wisdom with which he spoke, 11 so instead they secretly plotted and persuaded some to come forward and say, “We’ve heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God!” 12 And they stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes, and they came upon him and seized him and brought him before the council/court, 13 and they set up false witnesses who said, “This man never ceases to speak words against this holy place and the law, 14 for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and the customs that Moses delivered to us.” 15 And looking at him, all who sat in the council saw that his face was radiant like the face of an angel!

   🍃🕊️12/06 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

13 - On the very same day (on Firstfruits which is always on the day after the weekly Sabbath) two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with one another about all that had happened. 15 And while they were talking, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17 And he said to them, “What is it that you are talking about as you walk along?” And they stopped, looking sad, 18 and the one named Cleopas said, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who doesn’t know what has happened there?” 19 And Jesus said, “What things?” And they answered, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth! Who was a prophet before God and all the people, mighty in deed and word. 20 And the leaders, our chief priests, delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified! 21 But we had hoped that he was the one chosen to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it’s now the third day since, 22 and some women of our company amazed us by saying they were at the tomb early this morning 23 and found it empty! And that they saw a vision of angels who said he’s alive! 24 Then some others of us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said.”

     25 Then Jesus said, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart, do you not believe all which the prophets spoke? 26 Wasn’t it necessary the Christ should suffer these things? And then enter his glory?” [1Pet.1:11 - Moses and the prophets predicted the sufferings of Messiah and the glories that would follow.] 27 And beginning with Moses, he explained the Scriptures written about him.

     28 When they were drawing near to the village, he seemed as though he would keep walking, 29 but they urged him, saying, “Stay with us! For it is toward evening and the day is about over.” So he went with them.

GospeL Verses ~ John 18:3-14

3 - Judas, gathered a band of soldiers and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees, and came to Gethsemane with torches, swords and lanterns. 4 Jesus, knowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said, “Who is it you seek?” 5 They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said, “I am he.” Judas, who betrayed him, was standing there also. 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 So he asked them again, “Who are you seeking?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you, I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 This fulfilled the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have not lost one.” 10 Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off one of his ears. The servant's name was Malchus. 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put away your sword, shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?” [Luke, the Greek doctor, but not one of the twelve - he met Paul later - says Jesus healed the ear.]

     12 So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the leaders bound his hands and led him away. 13 First they led him to Annas, the father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest that year. 14 It was Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it would be expedient that one man should die for the people.

       Matthew 26:47-57 (Matthew’s account.)

47 - While Jesus was still speaking, Judas came, who had been one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss you should seize, for that is him.” 49 And he came up to Jesus saying, “Rabbi” and kissed him. 50 Jesus said, “Friend, do what you came to do.” Then they came and laid hands on Him and seized him. 51 And then, one who was with Jesus drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword away. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But then how should it be fulfilled what must occur, and is written in the Scripture?” (That which will be strong enough to appease and convince eveRy guilty conscience.) 55 Jesus said to them, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with clubs and swords? Why not arrest me in the Temple? I was there teaching every day. 56 But, all this takes place that the Scriptures of the prophets be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled (Zech.13:7). 57 And those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered.

8 -  For that righteous man (Lot) lived among them day after day, feeling tormented over the lawless deeds that he saw and heard. 9 So then, the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep [tereo - keep, guard, watch, maintain, preserve] unto ‘day’ of judgment (and/the) correction [kolazo - to check, curb, restrain, chastise, correct, punish, properly curtail, prune] 10 especially those promoting the lust of defiling [miasmos - the act of defiling, polluting, corrupting] passion [epithymía - eager for, from epí - focused on and thymós - passionate desire, inordinate desires] and despise lordship. Bold and self willed, they do not tremble as they blaspheme [blasphémeó - to slander, hence to speak lightly or profanely of sacred things, use abusive or scurrilous language about, from blax - sluggish, slow, and phḗmē - reputation, fame, name – properly, refusing to acknowledge good, worthy of respect, hence, to blaspheme which “reverses moral values”-bible hub dot com; to insult] the glorious (one), 11 whereas angels, in being greater in strength and power, do not bring before God a reviling [blasphemos] judgment. 12 These however like non rational [alogos - without reason or logic] animals having been born as creatures of instinct to capture and ruin. Of what they know not of, they blaspheme, which way will come to ruin 13 and will suffer wrong as the wage [misthos - fruit naturally resulting] for the wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel openly. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast-with [syneuōchoumenoi - from syn -together, with, and euócheó - to entertain sumptuously] you. 14 Eyes full of unfaithfulness, insatiable for sin, they entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in avarice. Accursed children! 15 Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of wrongdoing, 16 but was rebuked for his own error [paranomia - lawbreaking] by a speechless donkey who spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet's madness. 17 These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom [zophos - darkness, murkiness, gloom] of darkness is reserved [tēréō - kept intact]. (As long as there is waywardness, there will be the inner outside of the light darkness and gloom. The waywardness, lawlessness keeps it intact, for it is a fruit. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus portrays - initial - conditions of some during the GWT judgment ‘day’. As does the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22.)

GospeL Verses ~ Luke 18:35-43 ~

35 - As Jesus drew near Jericho, there was a blind man sitting by the side of the road and begging. 36 And hearing the crowd going by, he asked what it all meant. 37 And they told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” 38 So he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David! Have mercy on me!” 39 And those passing by at the front scolded him, and told him to be quiet. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 Jesus stopped and asked that he be brought to him. And when he had come near, he asked him, 41 “What is it that you want?” And the man said, “Lord, let me have my sight.” 42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has made you well.” 43 And immediately he recovered his sight, and he followed with the rest, praising God. And  when the people saw it they were happy.

                  ~ Philippians 1:9-18 ~

9 - It’s my (Paul’s) prayer that your love (and affection for all) may abound more and more. And with it knowledge, and all discernment. 10 So you can understand [diaphérō  - from diá - through, intensifying phérō - carry through, all the way, to distinguish fully what is better/superior, transition to] what is excellent, and so be pure [eilikrinés - unalloyed, genuine, sincere, from heilē - shining, and krystallízō] and blameless [aproskopoi - not causing to stumble, not stumbling, free of hurt or harm, not causing offense, blameless, literally without offense or offending] unto/into [eis - to or into, the point reached or entered, of place, time, purpose, result] (the door of Mt.25:10?) to/into/for? the day of Christ. 11 And filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus. Which is all to the glory and praise of God.

     12 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 So that now it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard (in Rome) and further, that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my example, are much more bold to proclaim the message [logos - word, reasoning expressed in words] without fear.

     15 Some indeed preach Christ from ill will and rivalry. But others from good will 16 and out of love, knowing that I am in these chains for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaiming Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but hoping to trouble me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. And yes, shall rejoice.
