          Paul’s Letter To Titus

9 - Bondservants (paying of a debt/agreement/bond by working, today employees) should work well and be respectful, not argumentative or resentful. 10 Not pilfering, but showing all good faith in everything, so they may adorn the news of God our Savior.

     11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly longings, to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness {and entropy! imperfection/entropy (death)} and to purify to himself a people for his own who are zealous [zélótés - zealot(!) enthusiastic, fervent in support] for good [kalos - good, beautiful, noble, excellent, honorable] works [ergon]. 15 Declare these things Titus. Urge, encourage and convince with all authority. Let no one disregard you! {Because he was young?}

         Mark 6:30-45

30 The disciples returned, gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. 32 So they left by boat for a quiet place, where they could be alone. 33 But many people recognized them and saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things. 35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. 36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.” 37 Jesus replied, "You give them something to eat." But they said to him, “It would take almost a year's wages to buy all of these people something to eat!" 38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.” 39 Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of fifty or a hundred. 41 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 A total of 5,000 men and their families were fed. 45 Jesus had his disciples get into the boat and start back across to Bethsaida. But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away.

           ~ 1 John 3:3-9 ~

3 And all who have this hope [elpis - expectation] in Him purify their self, just as He is pure [hagnos - free of contamination]. [VERSE 2, the hope - “..when Christ appears, we shall be like him”.] 4 Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin [hamartia - missing the mark]. 6 Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 But if someone makes a practice of sinning, it shows that they are still led by the adversary, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Those who have been born of God, and into his family, do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of (and in union with) God.
