 • 1 Timothy 1:9-15  Matthew 23:1-12

            ☀️ 1 Timothy 1:9-15

(Verse 8, Paul against other doctrine — We know the law is good, if one uses it lawfully) 9 but understanding this, that the law isn’t scribed/written for the just. But is written for the lawless and disobedient. For the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike fathers and mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for enslavers, and liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching. 11 This is a part of the gospel/message/good news {and program/administration} of the {radiant, undeniable} GL0RY of the blessed God, with which I (Paul) have been entrusted.

     12 I thank he who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, and appointed me to his service.

     13 Though formerly I was a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent opponent! But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly and in unbelief. 14 And the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that is found in Christ Jesus. 15 And this saying is true and trustworthy, and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners [hamartólos - from hamartanō - to miss the mark] {to save hamartians, the imperfect, all of us}. And I (Paul) am the worst of them all.

            🌙 Matthew 23:1-12

1 - Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, 2 “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, 3 so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not as they do. For they preach, but don’t practice.

     4 They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and they lay them on people's shoulders. But they themselves don’t have to carry them.

     5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others, making their phylacteries broad and their fringes long. 6 They love the places of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and to be greeted in the marketplaces and called rabbi.

     8 But you should not be called rabbi. For you have one teacher. And you are all brothers and sisters. 9 And call no one Father, for you have one Father, who’s in heaven. 10 Neither be called teachers, for you have one teacher, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you shall be as a servant. 12 Whoever exalts their self will be humbled. And whoever humbles their self will be honored.

paraphrased ‘enter the story’

  🕊️reading & study 🕊️

1 - Now the tax collectors (tax collectors for Imperial Rome.. so not very well liked) and notorious sinners {harlots, drunkards, etc. of the common people, higher ‘class’ people could hide being notorious} were drawing near to listen to him. 2 So the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and even eats with them!”

     3 So he told them this parable, 4 “What one of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one, doesn’t leave the ninety-nine in the field, and go after the lost one until he finds it? 5 And when he’s found it, he rejoices and carries it home on his shoulder. 6 And when he’s home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I’ve found my lost sheep!’ 7 In the same way, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one rebel who turns, than over ninety-nine {so called} righteous ones. 8 Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one, doesn’t light a lamp, sweep the house and look diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she’s found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I’ve found the coin I lost.’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner [hamartōlós - an adjective, derived from hamartánō - which in turn, is from hamartia - missing the mark, and nō - wide, so missing wide of the mark] who repents.” {Don’t forget, the Pharisees, as a group/party {in sheep’s clothing} were robbing widow’s houses..)

GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 9:9-17

9 - As Jesus was walking on from there, he saw a man called Matthew (yes this Matthew) sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” (Now tax collecters were considered very unfavorably, as their job was the collecting of taxes for Imperial Rome!) And Matthew got up and followed him. 10 And later as Jesus reclined at table in the house of Matthew, many other tax collectors and sinners (not living according to the laws given to Moses for the nation) came and were at table with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this(!) They said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with these tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But Jesus heard it and said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, only those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (If we think we are perfect/self righteous, we are wRong. ..God is into mercy! “He has shown you, oh mortal, what is good. And what does he require of you? But to act justly and to love mercy [checed - favor, goodness, kindness] and to walk humbly with your God, Micah 6:8. (Walk with God. Which it helps if we are not terrified of him. Don’t get me going on defending him, concerning the slandering of him about things in the Old Testament, including two or three things he - did - actually do. What’s more merciful? Stop great evil from happening, or not? Maybe those stopped will thank him.) 4 Then the disciples of John came saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don’t?” 15 And Jesus answered, “Can the wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away, and then they will fast. 16 No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment! For the patch will shrink away from the cloth, and a worse tear is made. 17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins will burst, the wine will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, so that both will expand together, and both will be preserved.”

From New Testament Letters

     (In the Order Believed Written)

                     ~ Romans 4:19-25 ~

19 - Abraham did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead, since he was about a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah's womb. 20 No, unbelief did not make him waver concerning the promise of God (that he would be a father and progenitor of many nations) but he grew strong in his faith, as, he gave glory to God. 21 He was fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. 22 That is why his faith was “credited to him as righteousness.” (Because he actually believed. And there was of course fruit of it.) 23 But the words “it was credited to him” weren’t written for his sake only, 24 but for ours as well. It will be credited to us who believe in him who raised our Lord Jesus from the dead, 25 who was delivered up (executed) for our trespasses and raised for our justification. (Strong enough to appease every guilty conscience, win over every delicate psyche, and heal and transform all. Although INITIAL conditions of SOME on that Last Great ‘Day’ of judgment/final discernment, aRe portrayed. Such as in the rich man and Lazarus parable. Also in the outside of the vision narrative of Rev.22, which is obviously initial conditions of only some, and is spoken outside of the vision, as it does follow chaper 21! Where, note: translators added “things” to “all” - greek “pas” - in verse 5. Also in Eph.1:10, Col.1:20, and also to “one” in Jn.1:3 - These taken together, the new patch on the new garment, lol.)
