12-01 - 1 Corinthians 14 1-8

 N.T. in a year reading & study, verses R paraphrased [  ] references {  } thots

☀️ 1 - Earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy, but - be sure to pursue love! 2 One who speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to others but to God. And no one understands what they might be saying. They are uttering mysteries in the Spirit{/Presence of God}.

     3 But the one who prophesies is speaking to people for their encouragement, for building up, for comfort, even for consolation. 4 The one who speaks in a tongue builds up their self, but the one who prophesies builds up the church/believers.

     5 Now I (Paul) want you all to pray and speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy! Prophesying is greater than speaking in tongues, unless someone interprets. So the listeners may be built up!

     6 Now if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? 7 If musical instruments, such as the flute or the harp, don’t give a distinct note, how will anyone know what’s played? 8 And if the bugle doesn’t give a distinct [diastolΓ© - distinction, (its own) different] sound, who will get ready for battle?

11-10 - 1 Corinthians 7 32-40

N.T. IN A YEAR READING & STUDY [ ]REFERENCES { }THOTS, VERSES R PARAPHRASED

☀️ [Paul is answering questions the Corinthian believers had sent in a letter. He responded “the time is short, so..” and indeed 70 CE was right around the corner.] 32 -  I (Paul) want you to be free from worries. The unmarried person is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But the married person is worried about worldly things, how to please their spouse. 34 So their interests are divided. 35 I say this for your benefit, not to lay any hardship upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord. {In those last days (of the age).}

     36 If anyone thinks they’re not behaving properly toward their intended, or if passion is strong, let them do as they wish. If they marry, it’s no sin! 37 But whoever is firmly established in their heart, and have their desire under control, and do not marry, also do well. 38 So then they who marry do well, and they who refrain from marriage, in my opinion, do even better.

     39 (Answer to another question.) A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to remarry, but only to another in the Lord. 40 Yet in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God on this.

10-26 - 1 Corinthians 2 7-16

scriptures paraphrased to post 

   πŸ•Š️a reading & study πŸ•Š️

7 But we speak of God’s wisdom, as a mystery hidden, but ordained by God for our {mankind’s ultimate} glory and honor. 8 The rulers and leaders of the age don’t understand this, for if they did, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

     9 But! As it’s written, “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, nor any heart of man imagined, that is what God has prepared for those who love him”. 10 And these things God has revealed to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything. Even the depths of God! 11 For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the things freely given to us by him. 13 And we speak this in words not taught by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit{/Presence of God} for interpreting spiritual truths, to those who are spiritual.

14 The natural person doesn’t accept the things of God’s Spirit, for they sound like foolishness because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual person is able to judge/discern all things, against such there’s no judgment. 16 “For who has understood the mind of the LORD so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. {Which is the mind that discerns all things.}

Romans 8 11-16

  02/08 ~ From New Testament Letters

  πŸ•Š️ (In the Order Believed Written)

         Paul’s Letter To The Romans

11 - If the Spirit oF he who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he will also give life to your mortal body because of his Spirit dwelling in you.

12 So then, brothers (and sisters) [adelphos - literal meaning - from the same womb] we are debtors, not to the human nature, to live according to it. 13 For if you live according to it you will be dying, but if by the Spirit {Presence of God, bread of the Presence, for the priest} you put to death the {inordinate/impure} deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons (and daughters) of God. 15 For you have not received the spirit as though you are a fearful captive! But you have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, “Abba! Father!” 16 And (literal) - himself, the Spirit - bears witness/testifies with our spirit that we are children of God.

JOHN 17:12-18:2

 ⭐️πŸƒπŸ•Š️11/21 - GospeL Verses πŸƒπŸ•Š️⭐️

[Jesus continues his prayer.] 12 - “While I was with them, I have kept them in your name [onoma - name, character, fame, reputation, cause] that you have given to me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction [apΓ³leia - destruction, ruin, loss, perdition/utter ruin {but “God is savior of all” 1Tim.4:10}] that the Scripture be fulfilled. 13 But now I’m coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled within them. 14 I have given them your word [lΓ³gos - from lΓ©gō - speaking to a conclusion - a word, being the expression of a thought, a saying, a common term - sharing a message, discourse, communication, speech, a broad term meaning reasoning expressed by words] and the world has hated them because they’re not of the world, just as I’m not of the world. 15 I don’t ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify (purify) {and make whole} them in the truth. Your word is truth.  {Untruth is like an old  cloth of raggedy holes? Two opposite ‘holeys’! Life versus entropy..} 18 As you sent me into the world, so I send them into the world. 19 And for their sake I sanctify [hagiazΓ³ - sanctify, make holy, consecrate, purify, set apart] myself, that they also may be sanctified {made whole} in truth.” [1Cor.3:14-17 talks about error and falsehood as polluting our temple - “If anyone’s work they have done, endures, they will receive a reward {they will share in the reward?} Do you not know you are a temple of God and the Spirit {presence) of God dwells in you? If anyone pollutes God's temple..” ..Remember the dude who reached out his hand to steady the Ark of the Covenant? It’s best if our message is holy and not holey..? Death - transplanting into an as yet untilled garden awaiting resurrection “into aionion kolasis” - is not the same to God as to us and the person is hades/not seen, in a state of being gone.}

     20 “I don’t ask only for these ones {jewels, Mal.3:17} but also for those who will believe in me through their word/words {and work} 21 that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also will be in us, so the world will believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me, I give to them, that they be one, even as we are one. 23 I in them, and you in me, that they will become perfectly one, so the world will know that you sent me and love them even as you love me. 24 Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, will be with me where I am, to see my glory that you’ve given to me, because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 Oh righteous Father, even though the world doesn’t know you, I know you. And these know that you have sent me. 26 I made known to them your name [onomo - name, reputation, cause] and I will continue to make it known {the cause} that the love with which you have loved me may be in them. And I in them.”

     18 And when he had spoken these words, he went out with the disciples across Kidron Brook, into a garden there. 2 And Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often went there with his disciples.
