scriptures paraphrased to post
🕊️a reading & study 🕊️
1 - How should we teachers be regarded? As servants of Christ and as keepers of the mysteries of God. 2 And! It’s required of stewards and keepers to be found faithful. 3 It’s a small matter if I (Paul) should be judged by you, or by a human court. In
fact, I don’t even judge myself! 4 For I’m not aware of anything against myself. Yet that doesn’t guarantee I’m innocent - it’s the
Lord who judges! 5 Therefore we should not pronounce judgments {division is the world’s voice} before the time - before the Lord
comes! For HE will bring to light the hidden things of darkness {☠ especially of the world and all enchantments} and will disclose the genuine motives of hearts. Then each one will receive their good word from God.
6 I’ve applied all these things to myself and Apollos as an example, that you may benefit from learning, and know not to go beyond what’s written, that no one be puffed up, competing and divisive with one another. {Don’t see people as on levels, placing self on the highest level? lol. Nor sect against one another. We can find common ground without agreeing about all things. Besides Truth is the only thing that stands tall and endures. It doesn’t need us to make quarrels/war over it. Conversation is good. Say it once and move on. Besides, prayer is vastly more superior and works upon us as well as ‘them’, makes things “straight”. God surely is Life, and we know he’s Love.. And well, only Life can rule. This school of hard knocks and important contrast is surely(?) unavoidable.}
