 • Romans 7:1-4  Matthew 11:20-30

            ☀️ Romans 7:1-4

1 - Or do you not know - for I (Paul) am speaking to those who know the law - that the law is binding on a person only as long as they live? 2 For example, a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if her husband dies she’s released from the law of marriage to him. 3 Whereas, if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she’s free from that law and if she marries another man she’s not committing adultery.

     4 In the same way, you too (who have been wed to the Law) have died to “the Law” through the body{/death} of Christ {we “died with him” and are “born again/anew”} so that you now belong not to the law {not to the O.T. outward conforming, society preserving, laws of Moses as a way to earn the enduring Life} but now you are married to another {another testament, treaty, agreement, contract} which is he who has been raised from the dead - in order - that we may bear fruit for God. {Healthy fruit, victorious/overcoming fruit, through our inward conforming union with God through, and with, the fully yielded, fully victorious Son.}

            🌙 Matthew 11:20-30

20 - Jesus began to scold the cities where most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent. [Metanoéō - from metá - changed after being with, and noiéō, - think – i.e. think differently after; quote - a turning point in one's life, a call to abandon former ways and embrace a new life in Christ.. particularly significant in the context of the early church, where converts often came from pagan backgrounds and needed to renounce their previous practices.]

     21 “Woe to you, Chorazin, woe to you, Bethsaida, for if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes! 22 And I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the ‘day’ of judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 23 And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to hades (state of unseen, gone). For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I tell you that it will be - more - bearable - on the day of judgment {during “8th” millennium, Rev.20} for the land of Sodom than for you.”

     25 Then Jesus prayed, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have HIDDEN these things from the {so called} wise and understanding and revealed them to little children {and ‘foolish’ of the world}. 26 Yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All [ - the word “things” is inserted, but instead should read “all” - pas - every, the whole, entire, all] have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son if not the Father, and no one knows the Father if not the Son, and whoever the Son chooses to reveal him to. 28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. And learn from me. For I’m gentle and lowly in heart, and you’ll find rest for your souls. 30 For - my - yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

🗝️s New Testament & Bible prophecy study, verses paraphrased [ ] references { } thots

 • Romans 2:1-5  Matthew 5:27-37 and ACTS 13:43-52 separately

            ☀️ Romans 2:1-5

1 - It is inexcusable for anyone to set theirself up as judge. For in passing judgment upon another is to condemn one’s self, because the same things are done by all. {ALL are prone to “hamartia - missing the mark” translated sin.} 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon all. 3 Do you suppose, you who pass judgment on others for things you yourself do, that you will {somehow} escape the judgment of God? 4 Do you despise his rich kindness, forbearance and patience? Don’t you know his kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart {surely every imperfect being has fallen short and has at least some regrets.. either of things done, or things not done.. or even our thoughts, or impulses that come to mind, opportunities to do good or be kind that we let pass by.. words spoken in haste, whereas if no regrets} you’re storing up wrath. [Orge - passion] {cause and effect? His passion as opposed to creating a mere ant farm! Passion for purity, truth, perfection, genuineness, Life] for he is Life, aNd, “is Perfect” mt.5:48, so only Perfection can endure, and be God’s will. The biggest cause and effect being that imperfect is entropy the “worm that does not quit” and is the “fire (THE crucible) that is not quenched”/put out.}

     Storing up wrath for the day of wrath [orge - passion] and the {passionate} revelation of God's righteous {“perfect”} judgment. [Next verse: “Who will render to every one according to their deeds”/their own doings.]

            🌙 Matthew 5:27-37

27 -  “You have heard it said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you everyone looking upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery in his heart. 29 If your right eye will cause you to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from you. It’s better to lose it than your whole body be thrown into gehenna.” {He is of course exaggerating for dramatic effect.} [Gehenna Valley was the place of the city dump, where even the bodies of criminals were thrown, so the fires were kept burning. It was a great threat and insult to not be properly buried.] 30 “So if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you! It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into gehenna.

     31 It’s also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I tell you anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her, though innocent, the victim of adultery. And if he marries (another) he commits adultery.

     33 Again you’ve heard it said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the LORD what you have sworn.’” {Lying wasn’t in the “ten commandments” except not to swear an oath falsely. Not that lying isn’t a “trespass”/missing the mark, translated “sin”.}

     “But I say to you, don’t take an oath at all! Either by heaven, for it’s the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it’s his footstool. Nor by Jerusalem, for it’s the city of the great KING. 36 And don’t take an oath by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black. 37 Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. Anything more than this comes from evil.” [Ponéros - evil, wicked, bad, malicious, slothful, from porneo - to work hard, and ponos - pain ridden, aligns with the Hebrew understanding of evil as anything that opposes God's will and righteousness/rightness.]

10 - Later while in the house the disciples asked him again about it. 11 And he said, “Whoever sends away (divorces) his wife and marries someone else commits adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

     13 Some were bringing children to him so he might bless them. But the disciples were stopping them. 14 And when Jesus saw it, he was annoyed, “Let the children come to me. Don’t prevent it, for to such as they, belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive the kingdom of God like a little child, doesn’t enter in.” 16 And he took them in his arms and laying his hands on them, he blessed each one.

JOHN 8 2-11

  🍃🕊️ 03/15 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

                 (paraphrased)

[Some early manuscripts do not have 7:53 to 8:11.] 2 - Early in the morning Jesus was again at the temple and the people came and sat down and he taught them. 3 But then the leaders, the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and bringing her to Jesus, 4 they said, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, so they might have some charge to bring against him. But Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger upon the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, “Well?” he straightened up and said, “Let whoever is without sin be the first one to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 And then they went away one by one, beginning with the older to the younger, and Jesus was left alone with the woman. 10 He straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are those accusing you? Is there none to condemn you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more.”

MATTHEW 19 1-12

   🍃🕊️ 03/08 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

1 - Now when Jesus had finished his sayings, he went on from Galilee to the region of Judea which is beyond the Jordan. 2 And large crowds followed him there, and he healed them.

     3 And {of course} some from the party of the Pharisees came to test him, saying, “Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any reason?” 4 He answered, “Have you read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one’? 6 So they are no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, man should not separate.” 7 They said to him, “Why then did Moses say to give a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8 He answered, “Because of the hardness of your hearts, Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it wasn’t so. 9 And I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, unless for infidelity, and marries another, commits adultery himself.”

     10 And the disciples asked him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it’s better not to marry!” 11 But he said, “Not everyone can live that way, but only those to whom it’s given. 12 For there are eunuchs who are so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have chosen to be eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive it receive it.” {An option, neither way is a requirement.}
