Daily Bible Verse and Teaching: Recent Episodes

Daily Bible verse with biblical affirmations

These are 7 - 10 minute bible teachings with the intention to bring daily comfort and encouraging messages to your mornings. I try to weave inspirational verses into every daily life with a combination of teachings and biblical affirmations.

I'm not a biblical scholar nor did I go to theology school to learn the Word. I chose, 20 years ago, to read daily and learn it for myself. With tools like the Strongs Concordance and the Bullinger Critical Lexicaon, I believe everyone can build an understanding of God's specific word, as it is written.

Daily Bible Verse - 7 - 10 minute teachings and prayer

Book of Proverbs - Ecclesiastes and proverbs are my favorite books in the Bible. They have all these little nuggets of information you can apply to your life immediately. That's why, I single these out. If you want understanding and knowledge, proverbs is where I'd start.

Biblical Affirmations - If I'm working on an affirmation, I will go through the word to figure out what the word says about that affirmation. I then work on the concept of what God says and try to change my affirmation accordingly

Reading the Bible daily and standing on those verses can change one's life. If your're beginning to read, start with one verse a day! Good luck and God bless!

Stand and be established in the word – Proverbs 24:3-6, Proverbs 24:10, Proverbs 24:17-18 Proverbs 24:3-6 24 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. 6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

You are set in righteousness – Ephesians 2:1-10 Ephesians 2:1-10 2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead (state of death) in (by) trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein (in which) in time past (once) ye walked according to the course (the age) of this world (kosmos: the arrangement), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (devil spirit) that now worketh (is working) in (resting within) the children (child by natural descent) of disobedience (the disobedience): 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation (to turn oneself, conduct oneself) in times past in the lusts (unlawful, sinful […]

Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned (counted) of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth (set forth as righteous) the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

You're a new creation - 2 Corinthians 14-21

2 Corinthians 14-21

4 For the love of (the messiah) Christ constraineth (to hold, to keep together, to secure) us; because we thus judge (judging this), that if one died for all, then were all dead (died):

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth (no longer) live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

16 Wherefore henceforth (from now) know we no man (one) after the flesh (according to the old nature): yea, though (even if) we have known Christ after the flesh (according to the old nature), yet now henceforth know we him no more (no longer).

17 Therefore if any man be in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), he is (there is) a new creature (creation): old things (the ancient things) are passed away; behold, all things (they) are become new (freshly new).

18 And all things (as a whole) are of God, who hath reconciled (reconnected) us to himself by Jesus Christ (the messiah), and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (the reconnection);

19 To wit, that God was in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), reconciling (reconnecting) the world (kosmos: the arrangement) unto himself, not imputing (counting) their trespasses (the falling aside) unto them; and hath committed unto (placed in) us the word (logos: the spoken word as connected to the inner thoughts) of reconciliation (reconnection).

20 Now then we are ambassadors (to be an elder, take precedence) for Christ (the messiah), as though God did beseech you (is beseeching) by us: we pray you in Christ's (the messiah) stead, be ye reconciled to God.

21 For He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no (not) sin; that we might be (become) made the righteousness of God in him.

Having the holy spirit will change your life - Philippians 3:1-8

Philippians 3:1-8

3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Philippians 2:1-5

2 If there be therefore any consolation (calling, summons) in (resting within) Christ, if any comfort (stimulating force) of love, if any fellowship (Participating, partaking, sharing, communion) of the Spirit (spiritual feelings or desires), if any bowels (inward parts) and mercies (pity or compassion),

2 Fulfil (Complete) ye my joy, that (in order that) ye be likeminded (think the same), having the same love, being of one accord (unity of life and love), of one mind (minding the same thing).

3 Let nothing (not one thing) be done through (according to) strife (works for ambition) or vainglory (empty as to glory); but in lowliness (humility) of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Philippians 2:12-15

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out (effect or achieve) your own salvation (safety or preservation) with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh (to form by labor) in you both to will (the emotional will to do) and to (work) do of his good pleasure (desire).

14 Do all things without murmurings (self uttering in a low and private voice/manifest discontent) and disputings:

15 That ye may be (become) blameless (not open o criticism) and harmless (unmixed or pure), the sons of God, without rebuke (blemish), in the midst of a crooked (bent sideways from dryness) and perverse (distortion or twist) nation (generation), among whom ye shine as lights in the world (kosmos);

16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

We are set forth as righteous - Galatians 2:16-21

Galatians 2:16-21

15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;

16 yet we know that a person is not justified[b] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

9 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.

20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[c] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Capture every thought - Corinthians 10:3-6

Corinthians 10:3-6

3 For though we walk (course of life) in the flesh (fleshly or carnal nature), we do not war after the flesh (fleshly or carnal nature):

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (carnal or fleshly nature), but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds (fortress);)

5 Casting down (taking down) imaginations (reasonings), and every high thing (position of height) that exalteth (lift oneself up) itself against the knowledge (gnosis: experiential learning) of God, and bringing into captivity (leading captive) every thought purposed thought) to the obedience (hearing attentively, listening attentively) of Christ;

6 And having in a readiness to revenge (avenge) all disobedience (refusal to hear, hence sin of omission, regarding the rule of duty), when your obedience (a hearing attentively or listening, hence obedience) is fulfilled (to make full, complete, accomplish).

God speaks to your heart and comforts you - 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

13 But we are bound (under obligation) to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord (Christ), because God hath from the beginning chosen (chose) you to salvation (safety) through (resting within) sanctification (to set in a state corresponding to God's nature) of the Spirit (holy spirit) and belief (faith) of the truth:

14 Whereunto (Unto which) he called (to summon, to call by name) you by our gospel, to the obtaining (unto acquiring) of the glory (splendor, brilliance resting within the appearance) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast (firm), and hold (lay hold on) the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle (letter).

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given (gave) us everlasting (everlasting of or belonging to an age) consolation (a calling near, summons, encouraging, exhortation, invitation) and good hope (expectation of future good) through (remaining within) grace (free undeserved favor),

17 Comfort (to speak to, to pacify) your hearts, and stablish (set fast, establish) you in (remaining within) every good word (logos: spoken word as connected to the inner thoughts) and work (that which is accomplished by labor).

How to have salvation - Romans 10:9-10, Galatians 5:22-26

Romans 10:9-10

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

10 For with the heart man believeth (it is believed) unto (motion to) righteousness; and with the mouth confession (it is confessed) is made unto (motion to) salvation.

Galatians 5:22-26

22 But the fruit of the Spirit (holy spirit) is love (agape: love irrespective of rights), joy (gladness), peace (rest, an undisturbed state of wellbeing), longsuffering (patience from being angry), gentleness (goodness as to people), goodness (ruled by good, moral worth), faith (a firm reliance or believing what you hear from God),

23 Meekness (even temper; tender), temperance (self restraint, dominion over the flesh) : against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Galatians 6:4

4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

You are free through Christ - Romans 3:19-28

Romans 3:10-12

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Romans 3:17-24

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under (resting within) the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (set forth as) in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge (epignosis: being acquainted with) of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God without (apart from) the law is manifested (made openly know), being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference (distinction):

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified (set forth as rightough) freely (as a free gift) by (resting within) his grace through the redemption (deliverance of the soul from sin, the body from the grace) that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth (appointed) to be a propitiation (the covering of sins by means of sacrifice, the place) through (by) faith in his blood, to declare (for a declaration of) his righteousness for (by reason of) the remission (suspension of punishment) of sins that are past (previously committed), through the forbearance (self restraint)of God;

26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

Walk in the oneness of the holy spirit, Ephesians 4:1-7

Ephesians 4:1-7

4 I therefore, the prisoner of (resting within) the Lord (Jesus Christ), beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation (calling) wherewith ye are (were) called (summoned),

2 With (In company with) all lowliness (humility) and meekness (enduring with an even temper), with longsuffering, forbearing (bearing with) one another in (remaining within) love;

3 Endeavouring (studying) to keep the unity (oneness) of the Spirit (holy spirit) in (resting within) the bond (that which binds to together) of (the) peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit (new spiritual nature), even as ye are called (summoned) in (resting within) one hope (expectation of future good) of your calling;

5 One Lord (master Jesus Christ), one faith (firm persuasion, conviction), one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above (with dignity and power) all, and through (the dividing line) all, and in (resting within) you all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ (the messiah).

Christ is coming back - 2 Peter 3:8-14, 2 Peter 3:18

2 Peter 3:8-14,

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord (Jehovah) is not slack (does not delay) concerning his promise, as some men count (reckon) slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (a real change of mind from sin itself; a change of moral thought, sin nature vs spiritual nature).

10 But the day of the Lord (Jehovah) will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise (rushing sound), and the elements (elementary rules) shall melt (be dissolved, to loose) with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation (behavior) and godliness,

12 Looking (Be in expectation) for and hasting (yes, earnestly looking for) unto the coming of the day of God, wherein (on account of which) the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements (elementary rules) shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

2 Peter 3:18

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Proverbs 15:1-4 ESV, Proverbs 15:1-4 KJV, Proverbs 15:16-17

Proverbs 15:1-4 ESV

15 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.2 The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouths of fools pour out folly.3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.4 A gentle[a] tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

Proverbs 15:1-4 KJV

15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

Proverbs 15:16-17

16 Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.17 Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than a fattened ox and hatred with it.

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth (no longer) live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

Hope will never cause shame - Romans 5:1-5, 1 John 4:16-18

Romans 5:1-5

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By (the dividing line) whom also we have (obtained) access (the introduction) also by (the dividing line) faith into (motion to) this grace (a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition) wherein (in which) we stand, and rejoice (speak loud, boast, vaunt oneself) in (resting within) hope (expectations of future good) of the glory (a real knowledge of a matter, that which attracts attention) of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory (rejoice also) in (resting within) tribulations (pressure, compression, hence pressure from evil, affliction, stress) also: knowing that tribulation worketh (effects) patience (patient enduring);

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

5 And hope (expectations of future good) maketh not ashamed (cause shame); because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad (to shed blood, to pour out, to kill) in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is (was) given unto us.

1 John 4:16-18

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

The creation wait for the unveiling of us - Romans 8:13-22, Romans 8:28

Romans 8:13-22

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

15 For ye have not received the (a) spirit (one's character) of bondage (slave, servitude) again to fear; but ye have received the (a) Spirit of adoption (sonship) , whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit (holy spirit) itself beareth witness with our spirit (new spiritual nature), that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs (indeed) of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings (evil suffered) of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed (exposed or open to view) in us.

19 For the earnest expectation (anxious looking with outstretched hand) of the creature (creation) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature (creation) was made subject (to submit) to vanity (disappointing misery), not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected (submitted) the same in hope (the expectation of future good),

21 Because the creature (creation) itself also shall be delivered (set free) from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty (freedom of glory) of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that all things work (labor, achievement, that which is accomplished by labor) together for good (worthy of affirmation) to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (of what one's sets before his mind, deliberate resolution).

Love God and look for the coming of His son - 1 John 2:15-17, 1 John 2:24-27, 1 John 3:1-3

1 John 2:15-17

15 Love (love which springs from admiration and veneration which chooses its objects with decision of will) not the world (kosmos), neither the things that are in the world (kosmos). If any man love the world (kosmos), the love of the Father is not in him

.16 For all that is in the world (kosmos) the lust (sinful desire) of the flesh (flesh), and the lust of the eyes, and the pride (the character of a false pretender, imposter, braggart, boastful, pride, arrogant) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (kosmos).

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust (sinful desire, mans depraved nature) thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 2:24-27

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he (Jesus Christ) hath promised us, even eternal life.

26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce (lead astray, cause to error) you.

27 But the anointing (rubbied in or smeared on, reffering to the old testament practice and reminding of the calling or rank) which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him (it).

1 John 3:1-3

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed (given to) upon us, (in order that) that we should be called the sons (descendants, children) of God: therefore (on account of this) the world (kosmos: this arrangement) knoweth (ginosko: experiential learning) us not, because it knew him not (expressing full and direct negation).

2 Beloved, now are we the sons (descendants, children) of God, and it doth not yet appear (to shine forth as to be seen) what we shall be: but we know that, when he (JC) shall appear (to shine forth as to be seen), we shall be like him; for we shall see him (with the eyes and look away from others, to regard) (even as) as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope (expectation of future good) in (resting within) him purifieth (to make clean, pure, chaste, clean, not contaminated by anything) himself, even as he (JC) is pure (from every defilement).

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers (elect) scattered throughout (of) Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification (essential, purity, holiness)of the Spirit (holy spirit), unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope (the hope of living again) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away (unfading), reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept (guard) by the power (inherent power) of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7 That (in order that) the trial of your faith (your tested faith), being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

1 Peter 3:10-12

10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:

11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

John 15-1-17 ESV

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants,[a] for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

Be thankful and enjoy life - Ecclesiastes 3:1-12 ESV

Ecclesiastes 3:1-12 ESV

3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:2 a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;8 a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.

The God-Given Task9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.14 I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him. 15 That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.[a]

2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Proverbs 24:1-10, Proverbs 24:13-14

24 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.

6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

7 Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

8 He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.

9 The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.

10 If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

Proverbs 24:13-14

13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste:

Hebrews 8:8-12

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make (consummate) a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put (giving) my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man (everyone) his neighbour (fellow-citizen), and every man (everyone) his brother, saying, Know (experientially know) the Lord: for all shall know (experientially know) me, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities (violations of law) will I remember no more.

Romans 8:1-4

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

The creation waits for the unveiling of the sons of God - Romans 8:16-24, Romans 8:28

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings (evil suffered) of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed (exposed or open to view) in us.

19 For the earnest expectation (anxious looking with outstretched hand) of the creature (creation) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature (creation) was made subject (to submit) to vanity (disappointing misery), not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected (submitted) the same in hope (the expectation of future good),

21 Because the creature (creation) itself also shall be delivered (set free) from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty (freedom of glory) of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.

23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that all things work (labor, achievement, that which is accomplished by labor) together for good (worthy of affirmation) to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (of what one's sets before his mind, deliberate resolution).

God's anointing teaches you all things - 1 John 2:15-17, 1 John 2:24-27

1 John 2:15-17

15 Love (love which springs from admiration and veneration which chooses its objects with decision of will) not the world (kosmos), neither the things that are in the world (kosmos). If any man love the world (kosmos), the love of the Father is not in him

.16 For all that is in the world (kosmos) the lust (sinful desire) of the flesh (flesh), and the lust of the eyes, and the pride (the character of a false pretender, imposter, braggart, boastful, pride, arrogant) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (kosmos).

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust (sinful desire, mans depraved nature) thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 2:27

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 John 2:24-27

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he (Jesus Christ) hath promised us, even eternal life.

26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce (lead astray, cause to error) you.

27 But the anointing (rubbied in or smeared on, reffering to the old testament practice and reminding of the calling or rank) which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him (it).

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

8 Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the (as) Lord (the messiah); and ourselves your servants for (on account of) Jesus' sake.

6 For God, who commanded (spake) the light (underived light) to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light (the illumination) of the knowledge (experiential knowledge) of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that (in order that) the excellency (surpassing, throwing beyond) of the power (inherent power) may be of God, and not of us.

8 We are troubled (afflicted) on every side (in everything), yet not distressed (suffocated as wrestling); we are perplexed (not knowing which way to turn), but not in despair (altogether without help or means);

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken (abandoned); cast down (to throw or cast down, to strike down), but not destroyed (perish, put to death of persons);

10 Always bearing (to hold up) about in the body the dying of the Lord (Christ) Jesus, that the life also of (Christ) Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11 For we which live (the living) are always (forever) delivered (handed over to) unto death for (on account of) (Christ) Jesus' sake, that the life also of (Christ) Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

Work for things that matter - Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, Ecclesiastes 2:17-19, Ecclesiastes 2:24

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

2 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?

3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

4 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:

5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:

6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:17-19

17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

There is not one judgment against us - Romans 7:4-6, Romans 7:25, Romans 8:1-2

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead (were put to death) to the law by (motion to) the body (crucified body) of Christ; that (to the end that) ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised (roused from sleep) from the dead, that we should (may) bring forth fruit unto God.

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins (sinful motions), which were (were called out) by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6 But now we are delivered (to make useless) from the law, that being dead wherein we were held (having died to that, in that which we were held); that we should serve (do service) in newness of spirit (new spiritual nature), and not in the oldness of the letter.

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

We need God - Proverbs 3:1-10

Proverbs 3:1-10

3 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

5 Trust (confide) in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (discernment: power of faculty of mind by which distinguishes one thing from another).

6 In all thy ways acknowledge (recognize) him, and he shall direct (rightly divide) thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear (confide, trust) in the Lord, and depart (shun, avoid) from evil.

8 It shall be health (healing) to thy navel (fig. for the whole body), and marrow (moistening) to thy bones.

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses (wine-vats) shall burst out (overflow) with new wine.

Stand on God - Psalms 62:1-12

Psalms 62:1-12

62 Truly (surely) my soul (I myself) waiteth (waiteth, in silence) upon God: from (for) him cometh my salvation.

2 He only (truly) is my rock and my salvation (safety from evils); he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

Psalms 62:4-9

5 My soul, wait (wait, in silence) thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6 He only (truly) is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In (upon) God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge (shelter from danger), is in God.

8 Trust (confide) in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely (truly) men of low degree are vanity (a breath), and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power (strength) belongeth unto God.

12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy (grace): for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

Ephesians 2:1-10

2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead (state of death) in (by) trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein (in which) in time past (once) ye walked according to the course (the age) of this world (kosmos: the arrangement), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (devil spirit) that now worketh (is working) in (resting within) the children (child by natural descent) of disobedience (the disobedience):

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation (to turn oneself, conduct oneself) in times past in the lusts (unlawful, sinful desire) of our flesh (fleshly nature), fulfilling the desires of the flesh (fleshly nature) and of the mind; and were by nature (origin) the children (native character) of wrath (anger with desire to revenge) , even as others (those who are left).

4 But God, who is rich in (remaining within) mercy (active nature), for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened (made us alive) us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together (in conjunction with), and made us sit (down) together in (remaining within) heavenly places (the heavenliness) in (remaining within) Christ Jesus:

7 That (in order that) in (remaining within) the ages to come he might shew the exceeding (surpassing, excel) riches (wealth) of his grace in his kindness toward (remaining within) us through (remaining within) Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through (the dividing line) faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship (handiwork; work performed by power and wisdom), created (having been created) in Christ Jesus unto (resting on the foundation of) good works, which God hath before ordained (afore prepared) that (in order that) we should walk in them.

The words of faith - Romans 10:1-10

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

10 For with the heart man believeth (it is believed) unto (motion to) righteousness; and with the mouth confession (it is confessed) is made unto (motion to) salvation.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit (new spiritual nature), even as ye are called (summoned) in (resting within) one hope (expectation of future good) of your calling;

5 One Lord (master Jesus Christ), one faith (firm persuasion, conviction), one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above (with dignity and power) all, and through (the dividing line) all, and in (resting within) you all.

23 And be renewed (implies that the whole course of life now flows in a different direction) in the spirit (your spirit, desires, action) of your mind (reflective conscious);

24 And that ye put on the new man (new nature), (that) which after (along the same motion) God is (was) created in (remaining within) righteousness and (of the) true (truth) holiness (godliness).

You're a son of God - Romans 8:1-7, Romans 8:16-18

Romans 8:1-7

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

5 For they that are after (in parallel motion with) the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (old nature, carnal nature); but they that are after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded (minding the flesh) is death; but to be spiritually minded (minding the spirit) is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity (advert, hatred) against (motion towards) God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Romans 8:16-18

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings (evil suffered) of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed (exposed or open to view) in us.

3 According as his divine (godly) power (inherent power: power of reproducing itself) hath (are) given unto us all (as to) things that pertain unto (for) life and godliness, through (with the purpose of) the knowledge (epignosis: true and personal relationship and heed the advice) of him that hath called us to glory and virtue (superiority: that which gives man his worth, his efficiency, his moral excellence, his quality):

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

3 Sorrow (of grief) is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance (face or presence) the heart is made better (causative - make well, used aright).

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (glee or pleasure).

1 John 2:15-17

15 Love (love which springs from admiration and veneration which chooses its objects with decision of will) not the world (kosmos), neither the things that are in the world (kosmos). If any man love the world (kosmos), the love of the Father is not in him

.16 For all that is in the world (kosmos) the lust (sinful desire) of the flesh (flesh), and the lust of the eyes, and the pride (the character of a false pretender, imposter, braggart, boastful, pride, arrogant) of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world (kosmos).

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust (sinful desire, mans depraved nature) thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 2:27

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 John 3:2-3

2 Beloved, now are we the sons (children, descendants) of God, and it doth not yet appear (to shine forth as to be seen) what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

13 Forbearing (holding up) one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Psalms 55:1-7

55 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

Psalms 55:12-19

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

6 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.

17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

12 Therefore (so then), brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after (in parallel motion with the old nature) the flesh.

13 For if ye live after (in parallel motion with the old nature) the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify (put to death) the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of God, they are the sons of God

.15 For ye have not received the (a spiritual character) spirit of bondage (slave , servant) again to fear; but ye have received the (a) Spirit of adoption (sonship), whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16 The Spirit (holy spirit) itself beareth witness with our spirit (new spiritual nature), that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings (evil suffered) of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed (exposed or open to view) in us.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-18

1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem

2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Ecclesiastes 2:24

24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

5 I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

Romans 8:1-10

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

5 For they that are after (in parallel motion with) the flesh do mind (set affection) the things of the flesh (old nature, carnal nature); but they that are after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (new spiritual nature) the things of the Spirit (new spiritual nature).

6 For to be carnally minded (minding the flesh) is death (state of death); but to be spiritually minded (minding the spirit) is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity (advert, hatred) against (motion towards) God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in (resting within) the flesh (old nature) cannot please (to be pleasing or acceptable) God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh (old nature), but in the Spirit (new spiritual nature), if so be that the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of God dwell (to inhabit) in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of Christ (the Messiah), he is not of his.

10 But the day of the Lord (Jehovah) will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise (rushing sound), and the elements (elementary rules) shall melt (be dissolved, to loose) with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Live through grace and walk in godliness - Philippians 2:1-4, Philippians 2:12-13

Bullinger : Grace

a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition, either in a person or thing. Objectively it denotes, personal gracefulness, a pleasing work, beauty of speech, etc. Subjectively it means an inclining towards, courteous or gracious disposition, friendly willingness; on the part of the giver of a favor, kindness, favor; on the part of the receiver, thanks.

The word denotes specifically, God's grace and favor manifested towards mankind or to any individual, which, as a free act is no more hindered by sin than it is conditional upon works. It is the grace of God , because it denotes the relation assumed and maintained by God towards sinful man. It is joined with Christ, because It is manifested I and through Him.

Philippians 2:1-4

2 If there be therefore any consolation (calling, summons) in (resting within) Christ, if any comfort (stimulating force) of love, if any fellowship (Participating, partaking, sharing, communion) of the Spirit (spiritual feelings or desires), if any bowels (inward parts) and mercies (pity or compassion),

2 Fulfil (Complete) ye my joy, that (in order that) ye be likeminded (think the same), having the same love, being of one accord (unity of life and love), of one mind (minding the same thing).

3 Let nothing (not one thing) be done through (according to) strife (works for ambition) or vainglory (empty as to glory); but in lowliness (humility) of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Philippians 2:12-13

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out (effect or achieve) your own salvation (safety or preservation) with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh (to form by labor) in you both to will (the emotional will to do) and to (work) do of his good pleasure (desire).

Have hope or an expectation of future good - 1 John 3:1-3, 1 John 3:18-20

1 John 3:1-3

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed (given to) upon us, (in order that) that we should be called the sons (descendants, children) of God: therefore (on account of this) the world (kosmos: this arrangement) knoweth (ginosko: experiential learning) us not, because it knew him not (expressing full and direct negation).

2 Beloved, now are we the sons (descendants, children) of God, and it doth not yet appear (to shine forth as to be seen) what we shall be: but we know that, when he (JC) shall appear (to shine forth as to be seen), we shall be like him; for we shall see him (with the eyes and look away from others, to regard) (even as) as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope (expectation of future good) in (resting within) him purifieth (to make clean, pure, chaste, clean, not contaminated by anything) himself, even as he (JC) is pure (from every defilement).

1 John 3:18-20

18 My little children, let us not love (make much of a thing, regard with favor) in word (spoken word), neither in tongue (language); but in deed (work or labor) and in (upon) truth (as the revealed reality lying at the basis of, and agreeing with an appearance; essence of a matter).

19 And hereby (remaining within this) we know that we are of (out from the origin) the (upon) truth, and shall assure (have faith) our hearts before him.

20 For if our heart condemn (to think ill, to note against) us, God is greater (large, of physical magnitude) than our heart, and knoweth all things.

Righteousness comes through believing - Galatians 2:15-21, Galatians 5:1

Galatians 2:15-21

15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;

16 yet we know that a person is not justified[b] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not!

18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor.

9 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.

20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[c] were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Galatians 5:1

5 Stand fast (stand, stand firm) therefore in the liberty (freedom to go where one will) wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled (be held or by anything) again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

Romans 10:1-4

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

Romans 10:9-10

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

10 For with the heart man believeth (it is believed) unto (motion to) righteousness; and with the mouth confession (it is confessed) is made unto (motion to) salvation.

2 Peter 1:2

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on (like a tee shirt) therefore, as the elect (chosen) of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies (subjective compassion), kindness (sweetness of disposition input of ingratitude), humbleness (modesty) of mind, meekness (enduring all things with an even temper), longsuffering;

13 Forbearing (to hold up) one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel (complaint, occasion to blame) against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

Give to God and be thankful - 2 Corinthains 9:6-11, 2 Corinthans 10:3-6 ESV

2 Corinthains 9:6-11 - ESV

6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully[d] will also reap bountifully.

7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[e] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

9 As it is written,“He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.”

10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.

11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 1

2 Corinthans 10:3-6 - ESV

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh.

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.

5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,

Romans 8:18-25

Future Glory18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.

23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

God surrounds you with love - Psalms 32

32 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity;I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah6 Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon.127 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest,eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children[a] of one's youth.5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.[b]

Psalms 138

138 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.[a]3 On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.[b]4 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth,5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord.6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly, but the haughty he knows from afar.7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life;you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me.8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.

Make your soul enjoy the good - Ecclesiastes 6:1-9, Ecclesiastes 5:10-11

Ecclesiastes 6:1-9

6 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind:

2 a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity;[a] it is a grievous evil.

3 If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with life's good things, and he also has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

4 For it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is covered.

5 Moreover, it has not seen the sun or known anything, yet it finds rest rather than he.

6 Even though he should live a thousand years twice over, yet enjoy[b] no good—do not all go to the one place?

7 All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.[c]

8 For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the appetite: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-11

10 He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.

22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side.[f]The rich man also died and was buried,

23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.

24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

It's the relationship with God that matters - Matthew 6:25-34 ESV

Matthew 6:25-34 ESV

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

[g]28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,

29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

God cares - Proverbs 12:1-14

Proverbs 12:1-14

12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid.2 A good man obtains favor from the Lord, but a man of evil devices he condemns.3 No one is established by wickedness, but the root of the righteous will never be moved.4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.5 The thoughts of the righteous are just; the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the mouth of the upright delivers them.7 The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous will stand.8 A man is commended according to his good sense, but one of twisted mind is despised.9 Better to be lowly and have a servant than to play the great man and lack bread.10 Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.11 Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.12 Whoever is wicked covets the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,[a] but the righteous escapes from trouble.14 From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good, and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.

6 For God, who commanded (spoke) the light (underived and absolute light) to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light (the illumination) of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency (surpassing, throwing beyond) of the power (inherent power) may be of God, and not of us.

8 We are troubled (afflicted) on every side (in every thing), yet not distressed (suffocated as in wrestling); we are perplexed (not knowing which way to turn), but not in despair (altogether without help or means);

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken (abandoned); cast down (to throw or cast down, to strike down), but not destroyed (perished; as persons: put to death; of things: lost or ruined);

How to become righteous - Romans 10:1-4, Romans 10:9-10, Proverbs 3:5-6

Romans 10:1-4

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

Romans 10:9-10

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

10 For with the heart man believeth (it is believed) unto (motion to) righteousness; and with the mouth confession (it is confessed) is made unto (motion to) salvation.

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust (confide) in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (discernment: power of faculty of mind by which distinguishing one thing from the other)

6 In all thy ways acknowledge (recognize) him, and he shall direct (rightly divide) thy paths.

Stand in liberty and walk through the spirit - Galatians 5:1-8, Galatians 5:16-7, 22-23

Galatians 5:1-8

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty (freedom to to go where one will) wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 Christ is become of no effect unto you (Ye were severed from Christ), whosoever of you are justified (set forth as righteous) by (remaining within) the law; ye are fallen (fallen off) from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit (operations of the holy spirit) wait (anxious looking with outstretched hand) for the hope (the expectation of future good) of righteousness by (out from the origins of) faith (a firm persuasion).

6 For in (remaining within) Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth (to be strong, mighty, powerful in anything) any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh (working) by (through) love.

7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

8 This persuasion (the obedience) cometh not of him that calleth you.

Galatians 5:16-26

16 This I say then, Walk in the (by) Spirit (new spiritual nature), and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (by nature).

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary (lie in opposition) the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under (beneath) the law.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit (holy spirit) is love (agape: love irrespective of rights), joy (gladness), peace (rest, an undisturbed state of wellbeing), longsuffering (patience from being angry), gentleness (goodness as to people), goodness (ruled by good, moral worth), faith (a firm reliance or believing what you hear from God),

23 Meekness (even temper; tender), temperance (self restraint, dominion over the flesh) : against such there is no law.

Ecclesiastes 1 - ESV

1 The words of the Preacher,[a] the son of David, king in Jerusalem.2 Vanity[b] of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.3 What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?4 A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens[c] to the place where it rises.6 The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north;around and around goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns.7 All streams run to the sea, but the sea is not full;to the place where the streams flow, there they flow again.8 All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it;the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.10 Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”?It has been already in the ages before us.11 There is no remembrance of former things,[d] nor will there be any remembranceof later things[e] yet to be among those who come after.

A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of birth.2 It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting,for this is the end of all mankind, and the living will lay it to heart.3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.5 It is better for a man to hear the rebuke of the wise than to hear the song of fools.6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fools; this also is vanity.[a]7 Surely oppression drives the wise into madness, and a bribe corrupts the heart.8 Better is the end of a thing than its beginning, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.9 Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart[b] of fools.10 Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.

Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding,14 for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold.15 She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed.19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens;20 by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.21 My son, do not lose sight of these— keep sound wisdom and discretion,22 and they will be life for your soul and adornment for your neck.23 Then you will walk on your way securely, and your foot will not stumble.24 If you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin[d] of the wicked, when it comes,26 for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught.27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[e] when it is in your power to do it.

Walk in love - 1 Corinthians 13:1-10

13 Though (if) I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity (love), I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing.

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity (love) envieth (being jealous) not; charity vaunteth (boasteth, braggeth) not itself, is not puffed up,

5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked (roused to anger), thinketh no evil (recons not the evil done to it);

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity (unrighteousness), but rejoiceth in the truth;

7 Beareth all things (is forbearing in all provocations), believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

8 Charity (love) never faileth (falleth): but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

4 Blessed (happy) are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted (a consolation: the speaking which persuades and soothes).

7 Blessed (happy) are the merciful (actively compassionate; not merely unhappy for the ills of others but delirious of relieving them): for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed (happy) are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed (happy) are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Enjoy the labor of your life today - Ecclesiastes 8:1-15 ESV

Ecclesiastes 8:1-15 ESV

8 Who is like the wise? And who knows the interpretation of a thing?A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.2 I say:[a] Keep the king's command, because of God's oath to him.[b]3 Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases. 4 For the word of the king is supreme, and who may say to him, “What are you doing?” 5 Whoever keeps a command will know no evil thing, and the wise heart will know the proper time and the just way.[c]6 For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble[d]lies heavy on him. 7 For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be? 8 No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it. 9 All this I observed while applying my heart to all that is done under the sun, when man had power over man to his hurt.

Those Who Fear God Will Do Well10 Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised[e] in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.[f]11 Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. 12 Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him. 13 But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

Man Cannot Know God's Ways14 There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity. 15 And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 3 ESV - There is a time for everything

Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 ESV

3 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:2 a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;6 a time to seek, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;7 a time to tear, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;8 a time to love, and a time to hate;a time for war, and a time for peace.

The God-Given Task9 What gain has the worker from his toil? 10 I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. 12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

5 For they that are after (in parallel motion with) the flesh do mind (set affection) the things of the flesh (old nature, carnal nature); but they that are after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (new spiritual nature) the things of the Spirit (new spiritual nature).

6 For to be carnally minded (minding the flesh) is death (state of death); but to be spiritually minded (minding the spirit) is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity (advert, hatred) against (motion towards) God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in (resting within) the flesh (old nature) cannot please (to be pleasing or acceptable) God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh (old nature), but in the Spirit (new spiritual nature), if so be that the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of God dwell (to inhabit) in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of Christ (the Messiah), he is not of his.

4 Whosoever (everyone who) committeth (practiceth) sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5 And ye know that he was manifested (appear) to (in order that) take away our sins; and in (remaining within) him is no sin.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7 Little children, let no man (one) deceive (seduce) you: he that doeth (practiceth) righteousness (a righteous ordinance, a decree of acquittal) is righteous (just, right), even as he is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of (out from, origins) the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of (out from, origins) God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 4:16-18

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We are sire in love

14 That we henceforth be (may be) no more (no longer) children (not old enough to speak), tossed to and fro (surging about as waves), and carried about (born hither and thither) with every wind (air in motion) of doctrine (the teaching), by (remianing within) the sleight (entrapping by deceit) of men, and cunning craftiness (with subtlety), whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

23 And be renewed (implies that the whole course of life now flows in a different direction) in the spirit of your mind (reflective conscious);

24 And that ye put on (like a tee shirt) the new man (new spiritual nature), (that) which after (along the same motion) God is (was) created in (remaining within) righteousness and true (of the truth) holiness (godliness).

1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

To the church of God that is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

5 For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.[a]

6 If we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; and if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we suffer.

3 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,

2 If ye have heard of the dispensation (stewardship) of that grace (free undeserved favor) of God which is given me to you-ward:

3 How that by revelation he (was) made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge (understanding, intelligence or reflective insight) in the mystery of Christ)

5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is (was) now (this present time) revealed (unveil, to be visible to the eye) unto his holy apostles and prophets (prophetic writings) by the (holy) Spirit;

6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs (joint heirs), and of the same body, and partakers of his (the) promise in Christ by (through) the gospel:

7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working (the being at work, power in actin) of his power.

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid (hidden) in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10 To the intent (in order) that now unto the principalities (rulers) and powers (authorities) in (remaining within) heavenly places might be known (may be made known) by the church (called ones) the manifold (infinitely diversified) wisdom of God,

11 According to (motion to) the eternal (purpose of the ages) purpose which he purposed (made) in (remaining within) Christ Jesus our Lord:

12 In whom we have boldness (speaking all one thinks; fearless candor) and access (a leading or bringing to the presence of anyone; freedom of access) with (remaining within) confidence (confident assurance) by the faith of him.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Of (out from) whom the whole (every) family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That (in order that) he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

Pray with your heart - Proverbs 15:1-9, Matthew 6:5-7

Proverbs 15:1-9

15 A soft (tender) answer turneth away wrath: but grievous (bitter, cutting, violent) words stir up (cause to burn, ascend up) anger.

2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge (cunning, awareness) aright (to cause to make well, make cheerful, better): but the mouth of fools (stupid, silly) poureth out foolishness (careless habit of mind and body).

3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil (evil ones) and the good.

4 A wholesome tongue (soft tongue) is a tree of life (supporting and continuing the life which has been imparted): but perverseness (disposition to vex or cross) therein is a breach in the spirit (invisible characteristics of men).

5 A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth (to hedge out, to guard, protect) reproof (correction) is prudent.

6 In the house of the righteous (just, lawful) is much treasure (strength, wealth riches): but in the revenues (gain, increase, fruit) of the wicked (morally wrong, ungodly, guilty) is trouble (to afflict, disturb).

7 The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not so.

8 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

9 The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the Lord: but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness.

Matthew 6:5-7

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Don't condemn yourself - Luke 7:36-48, 2 Corinthians 7:9-10

Luke 7:36-48

36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

37 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.

40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.

41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?

43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

44 And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.

45 Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.

46 My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.

47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.

2 Corinthians 7:9-10

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry (grief), but that ye sorrowed (grieved) to repentance (a real change of mind from sin itself; change of moral thought : from sin nature to spiritual nature; alway for the better): for ye were made sorry (grieved) after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage (suffer loss) by us in nothing.

10 For godly sorrow (grief) worketh (to work out) repentance (a real change of mind from sin itself; change of moral thought : from sin nature to spiritual nature; alway for the better) to salvation not to be repented (regretted) of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

Build the relationship with God - Romans 5:1, 10-15, Galatians 5:1

Romans 5:1, 10-15

5 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

10 For if, when we were enemies (object of enmity), we were reconciled (to change in a person, reconnected) to God by (out from) the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled (to change in a person, reconnected), we shall be saved by his life.

11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through (the dividing live) our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

12 Wherefore (on account of this), as (just as) by one man (genes homo: a human as distinct from an animal) sin entered into the world (arranged), and death by sin (by the means of sin, death); and so death passed (passed through) upon (unto) all men, for (because) that all have sinned:

13 (For until (continued until) the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed (charged, to put to or on an account) when there is no law.

14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude (likeness) of Adam's transgression, who is the figure (a pattern) of him that was to come (the coming one) .

15 But not as the offence (sin, a falling aside), so also is the free gift (a gift of grace). For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by (the) one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation (the sentence pronounced against), but the free gift is of many offences unto justification (a righteous acquittal).

Galatians 5:1

5 Stand fast (stand, stand firm) therefore in the liberty (freedom to go where one wants) wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled (be held by anything) again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

Ephesians 4:3-9

3 Even so (so also) we, when we were children, were in bondage (enslaved) under the elements (elementary rules) of the world (kosmos):

4 But when the fulness (of which it is full) of the time was came, God sent forth his Son, made (came into existence) of a woman, made under the law,

5 To redeem (to buy out) them that were under the law, that we might receive (in full) the adoption of sons (sonship).

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more (no longer) a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

8 Howbeit (but - marking opposition) then, when ye knew not God, ye did service (in bondage, enslaved) unto them which by nature (in genus - natural source of origin, kind) are not gods (false gods).

9 But now, after that ye have known (experientially known) God, or rather are known (experientially known) of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly (destitute and in want) elements (elementary rules), whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage (enslaved)?

Ephesians 5:1, 13-14

5 Stand fast (stand, stand firm) therefore in the liberty (freedom to go where one wants) wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled (be held by anything) again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty (freedom to go where one wants); only use not liberty (freedom to go where one wants) for an occasion (opportunity) to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

If you suffer for Christ's sake, rejoice - 1 Peter 4:9

1 Peter 4:9

9 Use hospitality (be hospitable: uttering complaints in a low voice, grumbling, complaining) one to another without grudging.

10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same (it) one to another (among yourselves), as good stewards of the manifold (changeful and various) grace (free undeserved favor) of God.

11 If any man speak, let him speak as (in harmony with) the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18 And if the righteous scarcely (with labor, with pains, with difficulty) be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

You are justified by faith, live in it - Galatians 3:1-14

Galatians 3:1-14

3 O foolish (foolish) Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been (was) evidently set forth, (as having been) crucified among you?

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by (out from the origin) the hearing of faith?

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 Even as "Abraham believed (to have faith in) God, and it was accounted (imputed) to him for (motion towards) righteousness (to set forth as righteous)."

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen (nations) through (on the ground of) faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of (out from the origins) faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 For as many as are of (out from) the works of the law are under (moral or legal subjection) the curse: for it is written, Cursed (doomed for punishment) is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified (set forth as righteous) by the law in the sight of (before) God, it is evident: for, The just (righteous) shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed (to buy out) us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed (doomed for punishment) is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through (the) faith.

6 We are of (out from the origins of) God: he that knoweth (experientially know) God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby (from this) know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error (seduction).

7 Beloved, let us love (spontaneous love) one another: for love is of (out from the origin of) God; and every one that loveth is born of (out from the origin of) God, and knoweth (experientially know) God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In (remaining within) this was manifested (brought to light) the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation f(the coverings of sin by means of a sacrifice) or our sins.

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth (no longer) live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

16 Wherefore henceforth (from now) know we no man (one) after the flesh (according to the old nature): yea, though (even if) we have known Christ after the flesh (according to the old nature), yet now henceforth know we him no more (no longer).

17 Therefore if any man be in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), he is (there is) a new creature (creation): old things (the ancient things) are passed away; behold, all things (they) are become new (freshly new).

18 And all things (as a whole) are of God, who hath reconciled (reconnected) us to himself by Jesus Christ (the messiah), and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation (the reconnection);

19 To wit, that God was in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), reconciling (reconnecting) the world (kosmos: the arrangement) unto himself, not imputing (counting) their trespasses (the falling aside) unto them; and hath committed unto (placed in) us the word (logos: the spoken word as connected to the inner thoughts) of reconciliation (reconnection).

20 Now then we are ambassadors (to be an elder, take precedence) for Christ (the messiah), as though God did beseech you (is beseeching) by us: we pray you in Christ's (the messiah) stead, be ye reconciled to God.

4 They only consult (advise) to cast him down from his excellency (high/royal rank implied): they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait (wait, in silence) thou only upon God; for my expectation (the state of expecting) is from him.

6 He only (truly) is my rock and my salvation (aid, victory, safety from evil): he is my defence (high tower); I shall not be moved.

7 In (upon) God is my salvation (aid, victory, safety from evil) and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge (shelter from danger), is in God.

8 Trust (confide) in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely (truly) men of low degree are vanity (a breath), and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit (light) is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10 Proving (to approve by trial) what is acceptable (well pleasing) unto the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship (partnership) with the unfruitful works of darkness (the darkness), but rather reprove (convict) them.

12 For it is a shame (hence, indecent) even to speak of those things which are done (being done) of them in secret.

13 But all things that are reproved (convicted) are made manifest (made apparent, show openly) by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest (made apparent, show openly) is light.

13 But all things that are reproved (convicted) are made manifest (make apparent, show openly) by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest (made apparent) is light.

Listen to God and be ready to obey - Ecclesiastes 5:1-10

Ecclesiastes 5:1-10

5 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear (obey), than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business (too much activity, through much effort, too much working/cares); and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel (be astonished) not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

4 According as he hath chosen us in (resting within) him before the foundation of the world (the disruption or ruin of the world), that we should be holy and without blame (blemish of sin) before (in his sight) him in love:

5 Having predestinated (foreordained) us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according (even) to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace (inclining disposition), wherein (which) he hath made us accepted (engraved) in the beloved (Jesus Christ).

Ecclesiastes 8:1-6

8 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation (understanding) of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness (sterness) of his face shall be changed.

2 I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

4 Where the word of a king is, there is power (might, control): and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both (a) time and judgment (time).

6 Because to every purpose there is time (a) and judgment (time), therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

Ecclesiastes 8:11

11 Because sentence (judicial sentence) against an evil work is not executed speedily (quickly, shortly), therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Corinthians 3:1:9

3 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual (spiritual men), but as unto carnal (fleshly), even as unto babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it (as yet strong enough), neither yet now are ye able.

3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9 For we are labourers together with God (God's fellow workers we are): ye are God's husbandry (tilled field), ye are God's building (ye are).

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort (consolation);

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save (expect) Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing (persuasive) words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit (spiritual gifts) and of power:

5 That your faith should not stand (be) in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

6 Howbeit (but) we speak wisdom among them that are perfect (fully grown): yet not the wisdom of this world (age), nor of the princes of this world (age), that come to nought (are being brought to nothing):

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

1 Corinthians 2:10-12

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;

17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;

19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.

20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;

21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

23 Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.

24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

3 In the day when the keepers of the house (arms of the body) shall tremble, and the strong men (the legs) shall bow themselves, and the grinders (the teeth) cease (fail or become unfit for use) because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened (dimmed),

4 And the doors (the openings: the mouth and ears) shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up (insomnia) at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick (songs and the product of music) shall be brought low;

5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way (apprehension of journeying), and the almond tree shall flourish (grey hairs grow scanty), and the grasshopper shall be a burden (as to weight), and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

6 Or ever the silver cord (spinal cord) be loosed, or the golden bowl (head or scull) be broken, or the pitcher (failed of the heart) be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

6 Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

2 And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.

3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words (sound), even the words (those) of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine (the substance of teaching) which is according (with duration) to godliness;

4 He is proud (puffed up), knowing nothing, but doting (sick deceased) about questions and strifes of words, whereof (out of which) cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,

5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt (corrupted as to their) minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain (means of making money, financial) is godliness: from such withdraw thyself (depart).

6 But godliness with contentment (sufficiency with oneself, satisfied with your lot) is great gain.

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

3 But the Lord (Christ) is faithful, who shall stablish (set fast, establish) you, and keep (gaurd) you from evil (the wicked one).

4 And we have confidence (faith) in (resting within) the Lord (Christ) touching (on account of) you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command (charge) you.

5 And the Lord (Christ) direct (guide) your hearts into (motion to the end) the love of God, and into the patient (patience as) waiting for Christ.

1 John 4:15-18

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is not fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Christ is bringing you into God's love

3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Romans 14:1-14

14 Him that is weak (not strong) in the faith receive (take to oneself) ye, but not to doubtful (criticizing) disputations (of his thoughts).

2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak (not strong), eateth herbs.

3 Let not him that eateth despise (treat as contemptible)him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand (hold him up).

5 One man (the one indeed) esteemeth (judgeth) one day above another: another esteemeth (judgeth) every day alike. Let every (each) man be fully persuaded (assured) in his own mind.

6 He that regardeth (observeth) the day, regardeth (observeth) it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.

7 For none (no man) of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.

9 For to this end (unto this) Christ (the Messiah) both died, and rose, and revived (lived again), that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought (despise) thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (the Messiah).

11 For it is written, As I live,(By myself, I have sworn) saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock (cause of stumbling, that which causes to error) or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing (nothing is) unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

15 We then that are strong ought to bear (lift, carry) the infirmities (weakness and sickness) of the weak (not able), and not to please ourselves (to be pleasing and acceptable to ourselves).

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his (its proper season) time: also he hath set (put) the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh (hath done) from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them (in God's work), but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep (to compose oneself for sleep), as do others; but let us watch (to keep awake to watch) and be sober (temperate, watchful, circumspect).

7 For they that sleep (to unite or from oneself to sleep) sleep in the night (as opposed to day); and they that be drunken are drunken in the night (as opposed to day).

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober (temperate, watchful, circumspect), putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

7 Little children, let no man (one) deceive (seduce) you: he that doeth (practiceth) righteousness (a righteous ordinance, a decree of acquittal) is righteous (just, right), even as he is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of (out from, origins) the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of (out from, origins) God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Stand with God - Romans 3:10-28

Romans 3:10-28

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17 And the way of peace have they not known:

18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under (resting within) the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (set forth as) in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge (epignosis: being acquainted with) of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God without (apart from) the law is manifested (made openly know), being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference (distinction):

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified (set forth as rightough) freely (as a free gift) by (resting within) his grace through the redemption (deliverance of the soul from sin, the body from the grace) that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (the covering of sin by means of sacrifice; the place) through faith in his blood, to (for) declare (a declaration of) his righteousness for the remission (suspension of punishment) of sins that are past (previously committed), through (resting within) the forbearance (self restraint, delay) of God;

26 To (with view to an end) declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just (righteous), and the justifier (set forth as righteous) of him which believeth in Jesus.

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what (what manner of) law? of works? Nay: but by the (a) law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

16 This I say then, Walk in the (by) Spirit (new spiritual nature), and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (by nature).

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary (lie in opposition) the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under (beneath) the law.

Galatians 5:22-25

22 But the fruit of the Spirit (holy spirit) is love (agape: love irrespective of rights), joy (gladness), peace (rest, an undisturbed state of wellbeing), longsuffering (patience from being angry), gentleness (goodness as to people), goodness (ruled by good, moral worth), faith (a firm reliance or believing what you hear from God),

23 Meekness (even temper; tender), temperance (self restraint, dominion over the flesh) : against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Romans 8:1-10

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

5 For they that are after (in parallel motion with) the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (old nature, carnal nature); but they that are after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded (minding the flesh) is death; but to be spiritually minded (minding the spirit) is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity (advert, hatred) against (motion towards) God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in (resting within) the flesh (old nature) cannot please (to be pleasing or acceptable) God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh (old nature), but in the Spirit (new spiritual nature), if so be that the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of God dwell (to inhabit) in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of Christ, he is not of his.

Ephesians 2:1-8

2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead (state of death) in (by) trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein (in which) in time past (once) ye walked according to the course (the age) of this world (kosmos: the arrangement), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (devil spirit) that now worketh (is working) in (resting within) the children (child by natural descent) of disobedience (the disobedience):

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation (to turn oneself, conduct oneself) in times past in the lusts (unlawful, sinful desire) of our flesh (fleshly nature), fulfilling the desires of the flesh (fleshly nature) and of the mind; and were by nature (origin) the children (native character) of wrath (anger with desire to revenge) , even as others (those who are left).

4 But God, who is rich in (remaining within) mercy (active nature), for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened (made us alive) us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together (in conjunction with), and made us sit (down) together in (remaining within) heavenly places (the heavenliness) in (remaining within) Christ Jesus:

7 That (in order that) in (remaining within) the ages to come he might shew the exceeding (surpassing, excel) riches (wealth) of his grace in his kindness toward (remaining within) us through (remaining within) Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through (the dividing line) faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

The commandments of God help your mental facility - Psalms 19:7-14

Psalms 19:7-14

7 The law of the Lord (Jehovah) is perfect, converting (returning) the soul (mental feelings, affections and passions): the testimony (a solemn declaration or affirmations made for the purpose of establishing or proving some fact) of the Lord (Jehovah) is sure (faithful and enduring), making wise the simple (foolish).

8 The statutes (precepts) of the Lord (Jehovah) are right (righteous), rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord (Jehovah) is pure, enlightening (giving light) the eyes.

9 The fear (reverential awe) of the Lord (Jehovah) is clean (cleaning), enduring for ever: the judgments (judicial requirements) of the Lord (Jehovah) are true (faithful in perpetuity) and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping (observing, or watching; as observers watch the heavenly bodies) of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors (wanderings) ? cleanse (clear) thou me from secret faults.

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great (much) transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed (exhibited) toward his name, in that ye have (having) ministered (served) to the saints (holy), and do minister (serve).

11 And we desire that every (each) one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance (full conviction, perfect certitude... not an effect of logical faculty but produced by the inner workings of the holy spirit) of hope unto the end:

12 That (in order that) ye be not slothful (slow, dull, stupid), but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15 And so, after he (Abraham) had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

Romans 5:3-5

3 And not only so, but we glory (rejoice also) in (resting within) tribulations (pressure, compression, hence pressure from evil, affliction, stress) also: knowing that tribulation worketh (effects) patience (patient enduring);

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

5 And hope (expectations of future good) maketh not ashamed (cause shame); because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad (to shed blood, to pour out, to kill) in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is (was) given unto us.

3 How long will ye imagine (rise against) mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4 They only consult (advise) to cast him down from his excellency (high/royal rank implied): they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait (wait, in silence) thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6 He only (truly) is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In (upon) God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge (shelter from danger), is in God.

8 Trust (confide) in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

9 Surely (truly) men of low degree are vanity (a breath), and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity.

10 Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power (strength) belongeth unto God.

12 A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise.

13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

14 The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge: but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness.

Ecclesiastes 2:4-11

4 I made me great works (multiplied my possessions); I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:

5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:

6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour (toil): and this was my portion (share) of all my labour.

11 Then I looked on all the works (possessions) that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:17-24

17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.

21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business (too much activity, through much effort); and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel (angel), that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities (great vanity): but fear thou God.

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

10 For as many as are of (out from) the works of (out from) the law are under (moral or legal subjection) the curse: for it is written, Cursed (doomed for punishment) is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified (set forth as righteous) by the law in the sight of (before) God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by (out from) faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed (to buy out) us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed (doomed) is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

You will come forth out of everyone when you have reverential awe of God - Ecclesiastes 7:3-18

Ecclesiastes 7:3-18

3 Sorrow (of grief) is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance (face or presence) the heart is made better (causative - make well, used aright).

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (glee or pleasure).

5 It is better to hear the rebuke (sharp criticism) of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

7 Surely oppression (act of oppression or the act of injury or fraud, distress) maketh a wise man mad; and a gift (a bribe) destroyeth the heart.

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

12 For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

17 Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.

Romans 14:21-23

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth (to strike the foot against, to stumble), or is offended, or is made weak.

22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before (in the sight of) God. Happy is he that condemneth (judgeth) not himself in that thing which he alloweth (to prove, as refiners do metal by fire, to try, examine, to have experience by trial).

23 And he that doubteth (to be at strife with one's self) is damned (condemned) if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Romans 15:1-2

15 We then that are strong ought to bear (to lift, carry) the infirmities (weakness and sickness) of the weak (not able), and not to please (to be pleasing and acceptable to) ourselves.

2 Let every one of us please (to be pleasing and acceptable to) his neighbour (one living in the same land or border) for his good to edification (building up).

5 Now the God of patience (patient enduring) and consolation (the comfort) grant (deliver, supply) you to be likeminded (regarding the same thing ) one toward another (among yourselves) according to Christ Jesus:

6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify (to recognize, to honor, to praise) God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 15:13

13 Now the God of hope fill (filled full, complete) you with all joy (be delighted) and peace (undisturbed state of well being) in believing, that ye may abound (be over and above, more than enough) in hope (the expectation of future good), through the power (inherent power) of the Holy Ghost.

3 Now (already) ye are clean (without blemish) through (on account of) the word (logos) which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide (remain, dwell) in me, and I in you (I also (remain) in you). As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except (if not) it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide (remain, dwell) in me.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth (remain, dwell) in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide (remain, dwell) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men (they) gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If ye abide (remain, dwell) in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will (wish or desire) and it shall be done (come to pass) unto you.

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry (grief), but that ye sorrowed (grieved) to repentance (a real change of mind from sin itself; change of moral thought : from sin nature to spiritual nature; alway for the better): for ye were made sorry (grieved) after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage (suffer loss) by us in nothing.

Romans 13:8-10

8 Owe no man (one) any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10 Love worketh (brings to pass) no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word (specific spoken words) of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack (does not delay) concerning his promise, as some men count (recon) slackness (delay); but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (a real change of mind from sin itself, a change of moral thought, sin nature vs the spiritual nature).

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

There is a war in our body between our carnal and spiritual man - Romans 7:5-6, Roman 7:14-25, Romans 8:1-2

Romans 7:5-6

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins (sinful motions), which were (were called out) by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6 But now we are delivered (to make useless) from the law, that being dead wherein we were held (having died to that, in that which we were held); that we should serve (do service) in newness of spirit (new spiritual nature), and not in the oldness of the letter.

Roman 7:14-25

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal (fleshly, no moral significance), sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow (approve) not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent (express agreement with) unto the law that it is good.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth (abodes) no good thing: for to will (would) is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin (the old nature) which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Romans 8:1-2

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

14 Nevertheless (but) death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude (likeness) of Adam's transgression, who is the figure (a pattern) of him that was to come.

15 But not as the offence, so (a falling aside also) also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead (died), much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation (the sentence pronounced against), but the free gift is of many offences unto justification (a righteous acquittal).

Romans 5:19-21

19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made (established, constituted, set up) righteous.

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

3 And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

4 And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

Romans 10:8-10

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word (specific spoken words) of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

19 And hereby (remaining within this) we know that we are of (out from the origin) the (upon) truth, and shall assure (have faith) our hearts before him.

22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

We are now justified and set forth as righteous - Galatians 3:5-14, Galatians 3:22-26

Galatians 3:5-14

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 Even as "Abraham believed (to have faith in) God, and it was accounted (imputed) to him for (motion towards) righteousness (to set forth as righteous)."

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen (nations) through (on the ground of) faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of (out from the origins) faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 For as many as are of (out from) the works of the law are under (moral or legal subjection) the curse: for it is written, Cursed (doomed for punishment) is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified (set forth as righteous) by the law in the sight of (before) God, it is evident: for, The just (righteous) shall live by faith.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed (to buy out) us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed (doomed for punishment) is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through (the) faith.

Galatians 3:22-26

23 But before faith (believing) came, we were kept under the law, shut up (to close up) unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified (set forth as righteous) by faith (a firm conviction, believing).

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of (out from the origin) God by (through) faith in Christ Jesus.

3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By (the dividing line) whom also we have (obtained) access (the introduction) also by (the dividing line) faith into (motion to) this grace (a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition) wherein (in which) we stand, and rejoice (speak loud, boast, vaunt oneself) in (resting within) hope (expectations of future good) of the glory (a real knowledge of a matter, that which attracts attention) of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory (rejoice also) in (resting within) tribulations (pressure, compression, hence pressure from evil, affliction, stress) also: knowing that tribulation worketh (effects) patience (patient enduring);

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

5 And hope (expectations of future good) maketh not ashamed (cause shame); because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad (to shed blood, to pour out, to kill) in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is (was) given unto us.

8 For though I made you sorry (grieved) with (by) a letter, I do not repent (regret), though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

Hebrews 4:1-2

4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest (a place of rest, implies a final rest day), any of you should seem to come short (have failed) of it.

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed (blended, united) with faith (believing) in them that heard it.

Hebrews 4:9-12

9 There remaineth therefore a rest (rest day) to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased (rested) from his own works, as God did from his (own).

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after (resting within) the same example of unbelief.

12 For (For in fact also) the word (spoken word) of God is quick (living), and powerful (strength and effectual in operation), and sharper (more cutting) than (above) any twoedged sword, piercing (passing through) even to the dividing asunder (the act of dividing) of soul and spirit (differentiating between that which is begotten of the flesh and that which is begotten of the spirit in the individual. In addition, it differentiates between the natural and spiritual), and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner (skilled in judging) of the thoughts (secret motives and emotional revolving of the mind) and intents (what is in the mind, idea) of the heart (the seat of one's distinctive character).

13 Neither is there any creature (created thing) that is not manifest (made visible) in his sight (before his eyes): but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do (is our account).

13 But all things that are reproved (convicted) are made manifest (make apparent; show openly) by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest (made apparent) is light.

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

Romans 10:8-10

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word (specific spoken words) of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

2 By (the dividing line) whom also we have (obtained) access (the introduction) also by (the dividing line) faith into (motion to) this grace (a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition) wherein (in which) we stand, and rejoice (speak loud, boast, vaunt oneself) in (resting within) hope (expectations of future good) of the glory (a real knowledge of a matter, that which attracts attention) of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory (rejoice also) in (resting within) tribulations (pressure, compression, hence pressure from evil, affliction, stress) also: knowing that tribulation worketh (effects) patience (patient enduring);

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

5 And hope (expectations of future good) maketh not ashamed (cause shame); because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad (to shed blood, to pour out, to kill) in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is (was) given unto us.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

John 8:3-11

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

You exceed in glory, you are sufficient - 2 Corinthians 3:1, 5-9, Psalms 147:2-5

2 Corinthians 3:1, 5-9

3 Do we begin again to commend (represent as worthy) ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation (commendatory letters) to you, or letters of commendation from you?

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency (ability, fitness) is of (out from the origin) God;

6 Who also hath made us able ministers (also) of the (a) new testament (covenant); not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

7 But if the ministration (ministry; service a minister renders) of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

8 How shall not the ministration (ministry; service a minister renders) of the spirit be rather glorious?

9 For if the ministration (ministry; service a minister renders) of condemnation (judgment against) be glory, much more doth the ministration (ministry; service a minister renders) of righteousness (uprightness) exceed in glory.

Psalms 147:2-5

2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath made me free (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

5 For they that are after (in parallel motion with) the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (old nature, carnal nature); but they that are after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded (minding the flesh) is death; but to be spiritually minded (minding the spirit) is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity (advert, hatred) against (motion towards) God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

3 How long will ye imagine mischief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you: as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence.

4 They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Selah.

5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

6 He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved.

7 In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Ecclesiastes 7:1-10

7 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

3 Sorrow (of grief) is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance (face or presence) the heart is made better (causative - make well, used aright).

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (glee or pleasure).

5 It is better to hear the rebuke (sharp criticism) of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

7 Surely oppression (act of oppression or the act of injury or fraud, distress) maketh a wise man mad; and a gift (a bribe) destroyeth the heart.

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

22 That ye put off (put away) concerning (with the ultimate purpose) the former (before) conversation (manner of life) the old man (Adam nature), which is corrupt (being corrupted) according to the deceitful lusts (sinful desires);

23 And be renewed (implies that the whole course of life now flows in a different direction) in the spirit (your spirit, desires, action) of your mind (reflective conscious);

24 And that ye put on the new man (new nature), (that) which after (along the same motion) God is (was) created in (remaining within) righteousness and (of the) true (truth) holiness (godliness).

25 Wherefore putting (having put) away lying (the lie), speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be ye angry (righteous indignation), and sin not (morally come short): let not the sun go down upon your wrath (the working into a passion):

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

29 Let no corrupt communication (putrid spoken word) proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying (the act of building a house), that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

You're justified, live free - Romans 3:19-28

19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under (resting within) the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (set forth as) in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge (epignosis: being acquainted with) of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God without (apart from) the law is manifested (made openly know), being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference (distinction):

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified (set forth as rightough) freely (as a free gift) by (resting within) his grace through the redemption (deliverance of the soul from sin, the body from the grace) that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (the covering of sin by means of sacrifice; the place) through faith in his blood, to (for) declare (a declaration of) his righteousness for the remission (suspension of punishment) of sins that are past (previously committed), through (resting within) the forbearance (self restraint, delay) of God;

26 To (with view to an end) declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just (righteous), and the justifier (set forth as righteous) of him which believeth in Jesus.

27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what (what manner of) law? of works? Nay: but by the (a) law of faith.

28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

13 But all things that are reproved (convicted) are made manifest (made apparent, show openly) by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest (made apparent, show openly) is light.

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly (precisely, accurately), not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Stand in God's righteousness - Romans 10:1-10

Romans 10:1-4, 8-10

10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word (specific spoken words) of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

10 For with the heart man believeth (it is believed) unto (motion to) righteousness; and with the mouth confession (it is confessed) is made unto (motion to) salvation.

16 That (in order that) he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as (for such time as) he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord (owner) of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so (So also) we, when we were children, were in bondage (enslaved) under the elements (elementary rules) of the world (kosmos: the arrangement):

4 But when the fulness (of which it is full) of the time was come (came), God sent forth his Son, made (to come into existence) of a woman, made (to come into existence) under the law,

5 To redeem (to buy out) them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons (sonships).

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more (no longer) a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of (through) God through Christ.

9 But now, after that ye have known (experiential knowledge) God, or rather are known (experiential knowledge) of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

Galatians 4:31-5:1

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Ecclesiastes 4:1-12

4 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

3 Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

4 Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.

7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.

8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20

18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.

20 For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

13 I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.

14 Now thanks be unto God, which always (at all times) causeth (leads) us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest (makes visible) the savour (aroma) of his (all, every) knowledge by us in every place.

15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved (being saved), and in them that perish (are perishing):

16 To the one we are the savour (aroma) of death (the state of death) unto death (the state of death) ; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?

2 Corinthians 5:4-11

4 For we that are in this tabernacle (the tent) do groan (to put on), being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality (the mortal thing) might be swallowed up of life (by the life).

5 Now he that hath wrought (effect, achieve) us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit (gifts of the holy spirit).

6 Therefore we are always confident (good courage, be full of faith and hope), knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent (to be away from one's people) from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

8 We are confident (to be full of faith, confident), I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Wherefore we labour (are ambitious), that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted (well pleasing) of him.

10 For we must all appear (be manifest in the presence of) before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. (worthless or base).

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

2 Corinthians 5:14, 17

14 For the love of Christ (the Messiah) constraineth (to hold, to keep together, secure) us; because we thus judge (in judging this), that if one died for all, then were all dead: (died).

Hebrews 4:1-9

4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest (a place of rest; implies a final rest), any of you should seem to come short (having failed) of it.

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed (blended, united) with faith in them that heard it.

3 For we which have believed (absolute belief) do enter into rest (a laying down, implies final rest), as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 For if Jesus (Joshua) had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest (rest day) to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased (rested) from his own works, as God did from his (own).

4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.

6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.

7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.

8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:

5 They are of (out from the origins of) the world (kosmos: the arrangement) therefore (on account of this) speak they of (out from the origins) the world (kosmos), and the world heareth them.

6 We are of (out from the origins of) God: he that knoweth (experientially know) God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby (from this) know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error (seduction).

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency (surpassing, throwing beyond) of the power (inherent power) may be of God, and not of us.

8 We are troubled (afflicted) on every side (in every thing), yet not distressed (suffocated as in wrestling); we are perplexed (not knowing which way to turn), but not in despair (altogether without help or means);

4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency (ability, fitness) is of (out from the origin) God;

6 Who also hath made us able ministers (also) of the (a) new testament (covenant); not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

We are free and not against God - Romans 7:13-25, Romans 8:1-2

Romans 7:13-25, Romans 8:1-2

13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold under sin.

15 For I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.

16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good.

17 So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out.

19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.

20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand.

22 For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being,

23 but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.

24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

Psalms 50:7-15

7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.

8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.

9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.

10 For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

Romans 7:18-25

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin (the old nature) which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge (lay a burden; press heavily) you all.

6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment (censure), which was inflicted of many.

7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person (face; presence) of Christ;

The acts of one - Romans 5:1, Romans 5:12, 14-16, Romans 5: 20-21

Romans 5:1

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 5:12, 14-16

12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

14 Nevertheless (but) death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude (likeness) of Adam's transgression, who is the figure (a pattern) of him that was to come.

15 But not as the offence, so (a falling aside also) also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead (died), much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation (the sentence pronounced against), but the free gift is of many offences unto justification (a righteous acquittal).

Romans 5: 20-21

20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:1

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Peter 3:14

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look (look in expectation) for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot (spotless) , and blameless (not open to censure or adverse criticism).

Romans 5:1

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

Romans 8:6

6 For to be carnally minded (minding of the flesh) is death (the state of death); but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Philippians 4:6-7

6 Be careful (anxious)l for nothing (not one thing); but in every thing (all things) by prayer (prayers to God) and supplication (specific prayers of need) with thanksgiving let your requests (specific requests) be made known (declare) unto God.

7 And the peace (state of wellbeing) of God, which passeth (surpassing) all understanding (thought), shall keep (garrison or fortify) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

2 Grace be to you, and peace, from (origin or source) God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath (having) blessed us with all (every) spiritual blessings in (resting within) heavenly (the heavenlies) places in Christ:

4 According (Even) as he hath chosen us in (resting within) him before the foundation of the world (the disruption or ruin of the world), that we should be holy and without blame (blemish of sin) before (in his sight) him in love:

5 Having predestinated (foreordained) us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according (even) to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace (inclining disposition), wherein (which) he hath made us accepted (engraved) in the beloved (the loved - Jesus Christ).

7 In whom we have redemption (the deliverance of the soul from sin, the body/grave) through (the dividing line) his blood, the forgiveness (remission) of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

8 Wherein he hath abounded (to be over and above, more than enough) toward us in all wisdom and prudence (intentions, management of affairs);

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out (effect or achieve) your own salvation (safety, preservation) with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh (to form by labor) in you both to will (the emotional will to do) and to do (work) of his good pleasure.

20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (set forth as) in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge (epignosis: being acquainted with) of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God without (apart from) the law is manifested (made openly know), being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all ~~and upon all~~ them that believe: for there is no difference (distinction):

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 Being justified (set forth as rightough) freely (as a free gift) by (resting within) his grace through the redemption (deliverance of the soul from sin, the body from the grace) that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God ~~hath~~ set forth (appointed in advance) to be a propitiation (the covering of sins by means of sacrifice; the place) through faith in his blood, ~~to~~ (for) declare (a declaration of) his righteousness for (by reason of) the remission (suspension of punishment) of sins that are past (previously committed), ~~through~~ (remaining within) the forbearance (self restraint, delay) of God;

Romans 4:18-22

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:

20 He staggered (to doubt) not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able ~~also~~ to perform (also).

13 But we are bound (under obligation) to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of ~~the~~ Lord (Christ), because God hath from the beginning chosen (chose) you to salvation (safety) through (resting within) sanctification (to set in a state corresponding to God’s nature) of the Spirit (holy spirit) and belief (faith) of the truth:

14 Whereunto (Unto which) he called (to summon, to call by name) you by our gospel, to the obtaining (unto acquiring) of the glory (splendor, brilliance resting within the appearance) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast (firm), and hold (lay hold on) the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle (letter).

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, ~~even~~ our Father, which ~~hath~~ loved us, and ~~hath given~~ (gave) us everlasting (everlasting of or belonging to an age) consolation (a calling near, summons, encouraging, exhortation, invitation) and good hope (expectation of future good) through (remaining within) grace (free undeserved favor),

It’s all through Jesus Christ’s word – John 5:19-27, Romans 10:9-10

John 5:19-27

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation (judgement); but is passed from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment (condemnation) also, because he is the Son of man.

Romans 10:9-10

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

It’s all through Jesus Christ’s word

God sets the days side by side – Ecclesiastes 7:5-10, Ecclesiastes 7:14

Ecclesiastes 7:5-10

5 It is better to hear the rebuke (sharp criticism) of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

7 Surely oppression (the act of oppression) maketh a wise man mad (referring to the madness of folly); and a gift (bribe) destroyeth the heart.

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Ecclesiastes 7:14

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

Ecclesiastes 5:1-10

5 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear (obey), than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business (too much activity, through much effort, too much working/cares); and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.

4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel (be astonished) not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Ecclesiastes 6:7, Ecclesiastes 6:11-12

11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

Wisdom puts forth its voice, listen to it - Proverbs 8:1-14

Proverbs 8:1-14

8 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

5 O ye simple (guides, unsuspecting), understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness (lawlessness) is an abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward (twisted, crafty) or perverse in them.

9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

12 I wisdom dwell with prudence (wisdom applied to practice; caution in deliberating and consulting on the most suitable means to accomplish a valuable purpose and discerning and selecting them) and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward (perverse) mouth, do I hate.

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding (discerning); I have strength.

Wisdom puts forth its voice, listen to it

We are sons and therefore the seed – 1 John 3:1-9

1 John 3:1-9

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed (given to) upon us, (in order that) that we should be called the sons (descendants, children) of God: therefore (on account of this) the world (kosmos: this arrangement) knoweth (ginosko: experiential learning) us not, because it knew him not (expressing full and direct negation).

2 Beloved, now are we ~~the~~ sons (descendants, children) of God, and it doth not yet appear (to shine forth as to be seen) what we shall be: ~~but~~ we know that, when he (JC) shall appear (to shine forth as to be seen), we shall be like him; for we shall see him (with the eyes and look away from others, to regard) (even as) ~~as~~ he is.

3 And every ~~man~~ that hath this hope (expectation of future good) in (resting within) him purifieth (to make clean, pure, chaste, clean, not contaminated by anything) himself, even as he (JC) is pure (from every defilement).

4 Whosoever (everyone who) committeth (practiceth) sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5 And ye know that he was manifested (appear) to (in order that) take away ~~our~~ sins; and in (remaining within) him is no sin.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7 Little children, let no man (one) deceive (seduce) you: he that doeth (practiceth) righteousness (a righteous ordinance, a decree of acquittal) is righteous (just, right), even as he is righteous.

8 He that committeth sin is of (out from, origins) the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of (out from, origins) God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

We are sons and therefore the seed

Galatians 4:1-6

4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as (for such time as) he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord (owner) of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so (So also) we, when we were children, were in bondage (enslaved) under the elements (elementary rules) of the world (kosmos: the arrangement):

4 But when the fulness (of which it is full) of the time ~~was come~~ (came), God sent forth his Son, made (to come into existence) of a woman, made (to come into existence) under ~~the~~ law,

5 To redeem (to buy out) them that were under ~~the~~ law, that we might receive the adoption of sons (sonships).

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Galatians 5:16-18

16 This I say then, Walk ~~in the~~ (by) Spirit (new spiritual nature), and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh (by nature).

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary (lie in opposition) the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under (beneath) the law.

Galatians 4:5-6

5 To redeem (to buy out) them that were under ~~the~~ law, that we might receive the adoption of sons (sonships).

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Galatians 4:31-5:1

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

We live in a glorious administration – Romans 6:3-6, Romans 6:12-14

Romans 6:3-6

3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into (motion to) Jesus Christ were baptized into (motion to) his death?

4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead (out from among the dead) by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in (remaining within) newness (newly made) of life.

5 For if we have been planted together (growing in conjunction with) in (remaining within) the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6 Knowing this, that our old man (old nature) is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed (annulled), that henceforth we should not serve (be in bondage) sin.

7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Romans 6:12-14

12 Let not sin therefore reign (legal authority) in your mortal body, ~~that ye should obey~~ (for obeying) i~~t in the lusts thereof~~ (its desires).

13 Neither yield (present) ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness (not right) unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

14 For sin shall not have dominion (power, strength) over you: for ye are not under (beneath, motion from) the law, but under grace.

Ecclesiastes 3:10-15

10 I have seen the travail (considered the business), which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time (its proper time): also he hath set (put) the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them (in God’s works), but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Ecclesiastes 3:22

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Put on the new spiritual man that you are – Colossians 3:8-14

Colossians 3:8-14

8 But now ye also put off (like a tee shirt) all these; anger (anger with revenge), wrath (the causel passion that could lead to wrath) , malice (every form of evil), blasphemy (slander), filthy communication (the license of the ungoverned tongue, obscene language) out of your mouth.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man (mans nature) with his deeds;

10 And have put on (like a tee shirt) the new man (new spiritual nature), which is renewed (daily acquiring strength) in knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed it’s advice) after (in parallel motion with) the image (pattern) of him that created him:

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on (like a tee shirt) therefore, as the elect (chosen) of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies (subjective compassion), kindness (sweetness of disposition input of ingratitude), humbleness (modesty) of mind, meekness (enduring all things with an even temper), longsuffering;

13 Forbearing (holding up) one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on ~~charity~~ (love), which is the bond of perfectness.

Think on the good and the spiritual – Philippians 4:8, Romans 8:5-10, Galatians 5:1

Philippians 4:8

6 For to be carnally minded (minding of the flesh) is death (the state of death); but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity against God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in (remaining within) the flesh (the old nature) cannot (are not able) please (to be pleasing or acceptable to) God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh (the old nature), but in (remaining within) the Spirit (new spiritual nature (Christ)), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell (inhabit) in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of Christ, he is none of his.

10 And if Christ be in (remaining within) you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit (new spiritual nature) is life because of righteousness.

Galatians 5:1

Make your nature the victim – Romans 12:1, Romans 8:1-8

Romans 12:1

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies (a sense of unhappiness for the ills of others) of God, that ye present (yield) your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable ~~un~~to God, which is your reasonable (rational) service (obedience rendered to God).

Romans 8:1-8

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, ~~who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.~~

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath ~~made me free~~ (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

5 For they that are after (in parallel motion with) the flesh do mind the things of the flesh (old nature, carnal nature); but they that are after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded (minding the flesh) is death; but to be spiritually minded (minding the spirit) is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity (advert, hatred) against (motion towards) God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

13 A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke.

2 A man shall eat good (fig. for what's gained by effort) by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors (traitors, faithless ones) shall eat violence.

3 He that keepeth (guards, protects) his mouth (fig. for what's spoken thereby) keepeth (guards) his life (soul): but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

4 The soul of the sluggard (sluggish, lazy) desireth (covets, waits longingly), and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent (incisive: having the ability to separate what's superficial; constant in effort or exertion to accomplish) shall be made fat.

5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome (to be morally offensive, to stink), and cometh to shame (or confusion).

6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth (subverts or perverts) the sinner (the sin offering).

19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

Ecclesiastes 9:7-10

7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Live joyfully

Speak with believing and it shall be – Genesis 1:1-3, Genesis 8:21, Matthew 8:8, John 16:23-24

Genesis 1:1-3

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth ~~was~~ (became) without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there ~~be~~ (become) light: and ~~there~~ (became) was light.

Genesis 8:21

21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

Matthew 8:8

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

John 16:23-24

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Speak with believing and it shall be

When you have reverential awe towards God, you’ll come out on top – Ecclesiastes 7-6, 9, 10, 14, 18

7 A good (precious) name is better than precious (good) ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

3 Sorrow (vexation of unmerited treatment of grief) is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better (causative – make well, used aright).

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (glee, pleasure).

5 It is better to hear the rebuke (sharp criticism) of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

18 It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.

When you have reverential awe towards God, you’ll come out on top – Ecclesiastes 7-6, 9, 10, 14, 18

Ask God for what your heart specifically wants – Matthew 7:7-11, John 14:12-15, Proverbs 13:12

Matthew 7:7-11

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

John 14:12-15

12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.

13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

12 Hope (expectation of future good) deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life (the tree supporting and continuing the life which had been imparted).

Ask God for what your heart specifically wants

Pray without repetition believing you will receive – Matthew 6-5-8, Matthew 7:1-2, Matthew 7:7-8

Matthew 6-5-8

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye

Matthew 7:1-2

7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Matthew 7:7-8

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Pray without repetition believing you will receive

What’s your desire – Proverbs 13:12, Ecclesiastes 6:9, Mark 11:24

Proverbs 13:12

12Hope (expectation of future good) deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life (the tree supporting and continuing the life which had been imparted).

Ecclesiastes 6:9

Better is the sight of the eyes (for what is seen thereby) than the wandering (a traveling without a settled course) of the desire (for what is pursued thereby): this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Mark 11:24

24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ~~ye shall have them~~ (they shall be to you).

What’s your desire

You are given the ability to cause effect – Ephesians 3:13-20

Ephesians 3:13-20

13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 Of (out from) whom the whole (every) family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That (in order that) he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that (in order that) ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

18 May be (fully able) able to comprehend (comprehend for one’s self) with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ (the messiah), which passeth knowledge (gnosis – experiential knowledge), that ye might be filled (to fulfill, accomplish) with all the fulness of God.

20 Now unto him ~~that~~ (who) is able to do exceeding abundantly (infinitely beyond abundance) above all (things) that we ask or think (the implied pleading for cause), according to the power that worketh in us,

You are given the ability to cause effect

We are transformed through faith – Galatians 3:1-7, Galatians 3:23-25

Galatians 3:1-7

3 O foolish (foolish) Galatians, who ~~hath~~ bewitched you, ~~that ye should not obey the truth~~, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been (was) evidently set forth, (as having been) crucified ~~among you~~?

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by ~~the~~ works of ~~the~~ law, or by (out from the origin) the hearing of faith?

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain (without purpose, to no purpose)? if it be yet in vain.

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 Even as Abraham believed (to have faith in) God, and it was accounted (imputed, counted) to him for (motion towards) righteousness (the doing or the being what is just and right).

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Galatians 3:23-25

23 But before faith (believing) came, we were kept under the law, shut up (to close up) unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified (set forth as righteous) by faith (a firm conviction, believing).

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

26 For ye are all the children of (out from the origin) God by (through) faith in Christ Jesus.

We are transformed through faith

Rejoice, be patient and pray – Romans 12:1-3, Romans 12:9-12

Romans 12:1-3

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed (shaped or fashioned) to this world (age): but be ye transformed (alter one’s bearing) by the renewing (renovation) of your mind (the organ of moral thinking), ~~that ye may prove~~(to your proving) what is ~~that~~ (the) good, and acceptable (well pleasing), and perfect, (desired) will of God.

3 For I say, through the grace (undeserved favor) given unto me, to every ~~man~~ (one) that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly (unto the being of a sound mind; without enthusiasm, without intemperate passion, cooly), according as God hath dealt (imparted) to (each and) every ~~man~~ (one) the measure (standard) of (the) faith.

Romans 12:9-12

9 Let love be without dissimulation (unfeigned, without hypocrisy) . Abhor t~~hat which is~~ (the) evil; cleave to ~~that which is~~ (the) good.

10 Be kindly affectioned (like a family) one to another with brotherly love (love for the brethern); in honour preferring one another (in every honorable matter leading one another on);

11 Not slothful (slow, tardy) in business (serious purpose); fervent (boiling hot) in spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant (steadfastly) in prayer (with reverence);

Rejoice, be patient and pray

We are strengthened with all inherent power for that relationship with God – Colossians 1:1-12

Colossians 1:1-12

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

6 Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

7 As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

8 Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge (epignonsis: having a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed its advice) of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge (epignonsis: having a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed its advice) of God;

11 Strengthened with all might (inherent power), according to his glorious power, unto (motion to) all patience (patient endurance, holding up) and longsuffering (long before angry, forbearance) with (in company with) joyfulness;

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which ~~hath~~ made us meet (enabled us or made us efficient) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in (the) light:

We are strengthened with all inherent power for that relationship with God

It’s all on God’s timing – Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

3 To every thing (as a whole, altogether) there is a season (an appointed time), and a time (a season) to every purpose (season) under the heaven:

2 A time (season) to be born (to bear), and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal (break open, breach); a time to break down, and a time to build up (rebuild);

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn (to wail), and a time to dance (jump, leap, skip for joy);

5 A time to cast away stones (as of out of a vineyard), and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get (seek or ask by prayer, get, acquire), and a time to lose; a time to keep (guard), and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend (cut out), and a time to sew (to join together); a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

10 I have seen the travail (considered the business), which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time (its proper season): also he hath set (put) the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

It’s all on God’s timing

We are lead in triumph – 2 Corinthians 2:14-17

2 Corinthians 2:14-17

14Now thanks be unto God, which always (or at all times) causeth (leads) us ~~to~~ (in) triumph in (remaining within) Christ, and maketh manifest (makes visible, brings to light) the savour (aroma) of ~~his~~ (all, every) knowledge ~~by us~~ in every place.

15For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved (are being saved), and in them that perish (are perishing):

16To the one we are the savour (aroma) of death (the state of death) unto death; and to the other the savour (aroma) of life unto life. And who is sufficient (coming to, reaching) for these things?

17For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

We are lead in triumph

You are more than a conqueror – Romans 9:1-5, Romans 8:8:37

Romans 9:1-5

9 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,

2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.

3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;

5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Romans 8:8:37

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

You are more than a conqueror

Wisdom dwells within us – Proverbs 8:1-11

Proverbs 8:1-11

8 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.

3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.

4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.

5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.

8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.

9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.

10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.

11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

Wisdom dwells within us

We are righteous in God’s eyes – Romans 10:9-10

Romans 10:9-10

10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe, vehement passion) of God, but not according to knowledge (epignosis: being acquainted with).

3 For they being ignorant (not to understand, not to perceive) of God’s righteousness (the doing or being what is just and right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves ~~un~~to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word (specific spoken words) of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess (agree, admit) with thy mouth the Lord Jesus (Jesus as Lord), and shalt believe in thine heart (the seat of life, the starting point, organ of concentration) that God ~~hath~~ raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (made sound, preserved safe).

10 For with the heart man believeth (it is believed) unto (motion to) righteousness; and with the mouth confession (it is confessed) is made unto (motion to) salvation.

We are righteous in God’s eyes – Romans 10:9-10

Be alive and enjoy your life – Ecclesiastes 11:4-10, Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

Ecclesiastes 11:4-10

4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil (sadness) from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret (hidden) thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Be alive and enjoy your life

Have reverential awe and watch what you say – Ecclesiastes 5:1-8, Ecclesiastes 5:10

Ecclesiastes 5:1-8

5 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear (obey), than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business (through much effort, too much activity); and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.

4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel (messenger), that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities (great vanity): but fear thou God.

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel (be astonished) not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

Ecclesiastes 5:10

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Have reverential awe and watch what you say

Perfect love casts off fear – Romans 8:11, Ephesians 3:17, Romans 8:14-15, 1 John 4:18

Romans 8:11

11 But if the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell (inhabit) in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (make alive) your mortal bodies by (motion to) his Spirit (new spiritual nature) that dwelleth (indwelleth) in you.

Ephesians 3:17

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

Romans 8:14-15

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of God, ~~they~~ are the sons of God.

15 For ye ~~have~~ not received ~~the~~ (a) spirit (one’s distinctive character) of bondage (slave, servant) again to fear; but ye have received ~~the~~ (a) Spirit (ones distinctive character) of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

18 There is not fear in love; but perfect (that which has reached its end) love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment (punishment). He that feareth is not made perfect (that which has reached its end) in love.

Perfect love casts off fear

Everything is working towards God’s plans for you – Romans 8:1-4, Romans 8:28

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, ~~who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.~~

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath ~~made me free~~ (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that all things work (labor, achieves, that which is accomplished by labors) together for good (with motion to worthy of admiration) to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (of what one’s sets before his mind, deliberate resolution).

Everything is working towards God’s plans for you

Serve in the newness of spirit – Romans 7:1-6, Romans 8:6-9

Romans 7:1-6

7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion (power) over a man as long as he liveth?

2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead (were put to death) to the law by (through) the body (crucified body) of Christ; that (to the end that) ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised (roused from sleep) from the dead, that we should (may) bring forth fruit unto God.

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions (sinful motions) ~~of sins~~, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6 But now we are delivered (to make useless, void) from the law, ~~that being dead wherein we were held~~ (having died (to that) in which we were held); that (so that) we should serve (do service) in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Romans 8:6-9

6 For to be carnally minded (minding of the flesh) is death (the state of death); but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind (minding of the flesh) is enmity against God: for it is not subject (does not submit itself) to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in (remaining within) the flesh (the old nature) cannot (are not able) please (to be pleasing or acceptable to) God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh (the old nature), but in (remaining within) the Spirit (new spiritual nature (Christ)), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell (inhabit) in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of Christ, he is none of his.

Serve in the newness of spirit

Epignosis – 2 Peter 1:1-4

1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that ~~have~~ obtained like precious (of equal honor and estimation) faith (believing) with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2 Grace (God’s loving disposition) and peace (the state of undisturbed well being) be multiplied (make you full) ~~un~~to you through (through the instrument of) the knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed its advice) of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as (on the ground that) his divine (godly) power (inherent power: power of reproducing itself) ~~hath~~ (are) given ~~un~~to us (as to) all things ~~that pertain unto~~ (for) life and godliness, through (with the purpose of) the knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed its advice) of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby (by which) are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be (become) partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust (sinful desire)

.Epignosis

Labor and strive into God’s rest – Hebrews 4:3-4, Hebrews 4:9-12

Hebrews 4:3-4

3 For we which ~~have~~ believed (absolute belief) do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest (a laying down, implies final rest): although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For he spake (hath said) in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

Hebrews 4:9-12

9 There remaineth therefore a rest (rest day) to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased (rested) from his ~~own~~ works, as God ~~did~~ from his (own).

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after (remaining within) the same example of unbelief.

12 For the word (spoken word) of God is quick (living), and powerful (strength and effectual in operation), and sharper (more cutting) than (above) any twoedged sword, piercing even (passing through) to the dividing asunder (the act of dividing) of soul and spirit (differentiating between that which is begotten of the flesh and that which is begotten of the spirit), and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner (skilled in judging) of the thoughts (secret motives and emotional revolving of the mind) and intents (what is in the mind, idea) of the heart (the seat of one’s distinctive character).

.Labor and strive into God’s rest

You are an heir and a son right now – Galatians 4:1-7

Galatians 4:1-7

4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as (for such time as) he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord (owner) of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so (So also) we, when we were children, were in bondage (enslaved) under the elements (elementary rules) of the world (kosmos: the arrangement):

4 But when the fulness (of which it is full) of the time ~~was come~~ (came), God sent forth his Son, made (to come into existence) of a woman, made (to come into existence) under ~~the~~ law,

5 To redeem (to buy out) them that were under ~~the~~ law, that we might receive the adoption of sons (sonships).

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more (no longer) a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of (through) God ~~through Christ~~.

The two new commandments – 1 John 3:22-24, 1 John 3: 18-21

1 John 3:22-24

22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) which he ~~hath given~~ (gave) us.

1 John 3: 18-21

18 My little children, let us not love (make much of a thing, regard with favor) in word (spoken word), neither in tongue (language); but in deed (work or labor) and ~~in~~ (upon) truth.

19 And ~~hereby~~ (resting within this) we know that we are of (out from the origin) ~~the~~ (upon) truth, and shall assure (have faith) our hearts before him.

20 For if our heart condemn (to think ill, to note against) us, God is greater (large, of physical magnitude) than our heart, and knoweth all things.

21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence (the speaking of all one things, ie. free spokeness) toward God.

Colossians 1:9-12

9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge (epignosis: being acquainted with) of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 Strengthened with all might (inherent power), according to his glorious power, unto (motion to) all patience (patient endurance, holding out) and longsuffering (long before angry, forbearance) with (in company with) joyfulness;

12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which ~~hath~~ made us meet (enabled or made efficient) to be partakers (for the share) of the inheritance of the saints in (the) light:

You are an heir through belief – Genesis 17:1-7, Galatians 3:4-9

Genesis 17:1-7

17 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.

3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,

4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.

5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

Galatians 3:4-9

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain (without purpose, to no purpose)? if it be yet in vain (without purpose, to no purpose).

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

6 Even as “Abraham believed (to have faith in) God, and it was accounted (imputed) to him for (motion towards) righteousness (to set forth as righteous).“

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen (nations) through (on the ground of) faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of (out from the origins) faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

Enjoy your labor, again enjoy it – Ecclesiastes 6:1-7, Ecclesiastes 5:10, Ecclesiastes 6:8-9

Ecclesiastes 6:1-7

6 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

2 A man (ish) to whom God (Elohim) hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul (himself) of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof (to enjoy it – modern language translation), but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

3 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled (satisfied) with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely (premature) birth is better than he.

4 For he (it, the premature child) cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness (destruction, death), and his name shall be covered with darkness (death or destruction).

5 Moreover he (the premature birth) hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.

6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place (the grave)?

7 All the labour (toil) of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled (accomplished, be fenced, fulfilled).

Ecclesiastes 5:10

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Ecclesiastes 6:8-9

8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

You are safe through God’s loving disposition – Ephesians 2:1-9

Ephesians 2:1-9

2 And you ~~hath he quickened~~, who were dead (state of death) in (by) trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein (in which) in time past (once) ye walked according to the course (the age) of this world (kosmos: the arrangement), according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit (devil spirit) that now worketh (is working) in (resting within) the children (child by natural descent) of disobedience (the disobedience):

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation (to turn oneself, conduct oneself) in times past in the lusts (unlawful, sinful desire) of our flesh (fleshly nature), fulfilling the desires of the flesh (fleshly nature) and of the mind; and were by nature (origin) the children (native character) of wrath (anger with desire to revenge) , even as others (those who are left).

4 But God, who is rich in (remaining within) mercy (active nature), for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened (made us alive) us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together (in conjunction with), and made us sit (down) together in (remaining within) heavenly places (the heavenliness) in (remaining within) Christ Jesus:

7 That (in order that) in (remaining within) the ages to come he might shew the exceeding (surpassing, excel) riches (wealth) of his grace in his kindness toward (remaining within) us through (remaining within) Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace are ye saved through (the dividing line) faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Your tribulation will work or effect your patience and the state of being tried – Romans 5:1-5

Romans 5:1-5

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By (the dividing line) whom ~~also~~ we have (obtained) access (the introduction) also by (the dividing line) faith into (motion to) this grace (a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition) wherein (in which) we stand, and rejoice (speak loud, boast, vaunt oneself) in (resting within) hope (expectations of future good) of the glory (a real knowledge of a matter, that which attracts attention) of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory (rejoice also) in (resting within) tribulations (pressure, compression, hence pressure from evil, affliction, stress) also: knowing that tribulation worketh (effects) patience (patient enduring);

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

5 And hope (expectations of future good) maketh not ashamed (cause shame); because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad (to shed blood, to pour out, to kill) in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which ~~is~~ (was) given ~~un~~to us.

Your tribulation will work or effect your patience and the state of being tried

Proverbs 25:1-7

25 These are also proverbs of Solomon, which the men of Hezekiah king of Judah copied out.

2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour (glory) of kings is to search out a matter.

3 The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable.

4 Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer.

5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

6 Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:

7 For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.

Proverbs 25:16

16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

The creation waits for us to be made visible as we are – Romans 8:18-22, Romans 8:28

Romans 8:18-22

18 For I reckon that the sufferings (evil suffered) of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed (exposed or open to view) in us.

19 For the earnest expectation (anxious looking with outstretched hand) of the creature (creation) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature (creation) was made subject (to submit) to vanity (disappointing misery), not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected (submitted) the same in hope (the expectation of future good),

21 Because the creature (creation) itself also shall be delivered (set free) from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty (freedom of glory) of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth (groan or sigh as in distress) and travaileth (in the throes of birth) in pain together until now.

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that all things work (labor, achieves, that which is accomplished by labors) together for good (with motion to worthy of admiration) to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (of what one’s sets before his mind, deliberate resolution).

Things that are seen are but for a moment – 2 Corinthians 4:1-7, 2 Corinthians 4:17-18

2 Corinthians 4:1-7

4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint (to turn a coward, to lose one’s courage) not;

2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty (shame), not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation (revealing, unveiling) of the truth commending (to represent as worthy) ourselves to every man’s conscience (conscience of men) in the sight of God.

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost (perishing):

4 In whom the god of this world (age) hath blinded (to make blind, darkened) the minds (purpose, thoughts) of them which believe not, lest the light (illumination) of the glorious gospel of Christ (the messiah), who is the image (likeness)of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus (as Christ) ~~the Lord~~; and ourselves your servants for (on account of) Jesus’ sake.

6 For God, who commanded (spoke) the light (underived and absolute) to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light (the illumination) of the knowledge (experiential knowledge) of the glory of God in the face of ~~Jesus~~ Christ.

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency (surpassing, throwing beyond) of the power (inherent power) may be of God, and not of us.

2 Corinthians 4:17-18

17 For our light affliction (momentary lightness of our affliction), which is but for a moment, worketh (to work out) for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal (for a season); but the things which are not seen are eternal.

God’s word energizes you – 1 Thessalonians 2:8-13

1 Thessalonians 2:8-13

8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:

11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,

12 That ye would walk (with a view to your walking) worthy of God, who ~~hath~~ called you unto his kingdom and glory.

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh (is made energetic) also in you that believe.

Live joyfully because you are set free – Romans 8:1-4, Romans 8:8-10

Romans 8:1-4

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, ~~who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.~~

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath ~~made me free~~ (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

Romans 8:8-10

8 So then they that are in (remaining within) the flesh (the old nature) cannot (are not able) please (to be pleasing or acceptable to) God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh (the old nature), but in (remaining within) the Spirit (new spiritual nature (Christ)), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell (inhabit) in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of Christ, he is none of his.

10 And if Christ be in (remaining within) you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit (new spiritual nature) is life because of righteousness.

Live joyfully because you are set free

Love and forgive – 1 John 4:4-8

4Ye are of (out from the origins of) God, little children (natural descendants, term of endearment), and have overcome (victorious) them: because greater (by measure or stature) is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (kosmos: the arrangement).

5They are of the world (kosmos: the arrangement): therefore (on account of this) speak they of (out from) the world (kosmos: the arrangement), and the world heareth them.

6We are of (out from the origins of) God: he that knoweth (ginosko: experiential knowledge) God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby (From this) know (ginosko: experiential knowledge) we the spirit (Christ’s pneuma) of truth (truth of character or relation), and the spirit of error.

7Beloved, let us love (spontaneous love) one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Rejoice and remain within Christ through faith – Philippians 3:1-9

Philippians 3:1-9

3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision (heathen mutilations and the Jews).

3 For we are the circumcision (true circumcision), which worship God in the spirit (by the spirit of God), and rejoice (glorying) in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence (not trusting) in the flesh.

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of ~~the~~ Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless (found blameless before men).

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

9 And be found in (remaining within) him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by (resting upon, as one thin resting upon another, upon a foundation) faith:

You don’t need anything to tell you you’re worthy – 2 Corinthians 3:1-3, Romans 2:14-16, 2 Corinthians 3:4-5

2 Corinthians 3:1-3

3 Do we begin again to commend (represent as worthy) ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation (commendatory letters) to you, or letters of commendation from you?

2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared (manifested: made visible) to be the epistle (what is sent to anyones home) of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with (resting within) the Spirit of the living God; not in (resting within) tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

4 And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:

5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency (ability, fitness) is of (out from the origin) God;

Romans 2:14-16

14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

2 Corinthians 3:4-5

4 And such trust have we through (the) Christ to God-ward (toward God):

5 Not that we are sufficient (coming to) of (from) ourselves to think (reckon) any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency (ability, fitness) is of God;

Ecclesiastes 11:1-10

11 Cast thy bread upon the waters (ship your grain across the waters): for thou shalt find it (the gain thereof) after many days.

2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.

4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.

7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil (sadness) from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Increase sorrow by increasing knowledge – Ecclesiastes 7:8-16, Ecclesiastes 1:18

Ecclesiastes 7:8-16

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

12 For wisdom is a defence (defense or shade), and money is a defence (defense or shade): but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life (future life) to them that have it.

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.

16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself (make theyself lonely)?

Ecclesiastes 1:18

18 For in much wisdom is much grief (mortification): and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome (to be morally offensive, to stink), and cometh to shame (or confusion).

6 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

2 A man (ish) to whom God (Elohim) hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof (to enjoy it), but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity (that which soon vanishes), and it is an evil disease (hurtful).

3 If a man (ish) beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled (satisfied) with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth (premature) is better than he.

4 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness (destruction, death), and his name shall be covered with darkness (destruction, death).

5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.

6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place (the grave)?

8 For what (advantage) hath the wise more than the fool? what (advantage) hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living (with life being alive)?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes (for what is seen thereby) than the wandering of the desire (what is pursued thereby): this is also vanity (that which soon vanishes) and vexation of spirit.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect (chosen) of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies (subjective compassion felt on witnessing misfortune), kindness (sweetness of disposition, inspire of gratitude), humbleness of mind (modesty… conceding to others all due respect or even more than they expect or require) meekness, longsuffering (long before anger, patient endurance);

13 Forbearing (to hold up) one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel (complaint or an occasion to blame) against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

15 And let the peace (undisturbed state of well being) of ~~God~~ (Christ) rule (be umpire) in your hearts, to the which ~~also ye are called~~ (ye were called also) in (remaining within) one body; and be ye thankful (to become grateful, blessed).

16 Let the word of Christ dwell (inhabit) in (remaining within) you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to ~~the Lord~~ (God).

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God ~~and~~ the Father by (through) him.

You are daily acquiring strength to build a relationship with God – Colossians 3:1-10

Colossians 3:1-10

3 If ye then be risen (were raised with) with Christ, seek (endeavor to find) those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection (mind) on things above, not on things on the earth (land).

3 For ye ~~are dead~~ (died), and your life ~~is~~ (has been) hid (laid up in store) with (in conjunction with) Christ in (resting within) God.

4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear (be manifested make visible) with him in glory.

14 And above all these things put on ~~charity~~ (love), which is the bond of perfectness.

15 And let the peace of ~~God~~ (Christ) rule (be umpire) in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

5 Mortify (put to death) therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection (passion or lust), evil concupiscence (desire), and covetousness (wantoness), which is idolatry:

6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8 But now ye also put off (like a tee shirt) all these; anger, wrath (causal passion that could lead to anger), malice (every form of evil), blasphemy (slander), filthy communication (the license of the ungoverned tongue, obscene language) out of your mouth.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man (man’s nature) with his deeds;

10 And have put on (like a tee shirt) the new man, which is renewed (newly made, daily acquiring strength) in (motion to) knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship with an object, where you hear from it and heed it’s advice) after (in parallel motion with) the image (pattern) of him that created him:

12 Looking (Be in expectation) for and hasting (yes, earnestly looking for) ~~unto~~ the coming of the day of God, wherein (on account of which) the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements (elementary rules) shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look (in expectation) for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot (spotless), and blameless (not open to censure, adverse criticism).

1 Peter 3:8-12

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another (sympathetic), love (loving) as brethren, be pitiful (having fellow-feeling, tender hearted), be courteous (humble minded):

9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing (abuse or expressing contempt, disdain to his face): but contrariwise blessing (to speak well of); ~~knowing~~ ~~that~~ (for) ye are thereunto (unto this) called, that ye should inherit a blessing (to distinguish with favor, confer or being forth happiness).

10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile (bait for fish, used for catching):

11 Let him eschew (turn away) evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue (pursue) it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1 Peter 3:15

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Hold fast the confession of hope – Hebrews 10:1-13, Hebrews 10:22-23

Hebrews 10:1-13

10 For the law having a shadow (shade) of good things to come, and not the very image (resemble) of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually ~~make the comers thereunto perfec~~t (to finish, to bring through to the end).

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no (not one) more (of un-pardoned sins) conscience of sins.

3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest (demandest) not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, ~~O God~~.

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest (demandest) not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, ~~O God~~. He taketh away the first, (in order that) ~~that~~ he may establish the second.

10 By (In, as) the which will we ~~are~~ (have been) sanctified (to make holy) through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever (continually), sat down on the right hand of God;

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified (made holy, put into a state corresponding to God’s nature).

Stay away from things God hates – Proverbs 6:1-9, Proverbs 6:16-19

Proverbs 6:1-9

6 My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,

2 Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.

4 Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

6 Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

7 Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.

9 How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

Proverbs 6:16-19

16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Stay away from things God hates

You are placed in righteousness or uprightness – Romans 4:1-5, Romans 4:13

Romans 4:1-5

4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham were justified (set forth as righteous) by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned (counted) of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth (set forth as righteous) the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Romans 4:13

13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through (the dividing line) the law, but through (the dividing line) the righteousness of faith.

You are placed in righteousness or uprightness

Proverbs 21:10-14, Proverbs 21:17, Proverbs 17:23

Proverbs 21:10-14

10 The soul of the wicked (morally wicked) desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes.

11 When the scorner (mocker, scoffer) is punished, the simple (foolish) is made wise: and when the wise is instructed (corrected), he receiveth knowledge.

12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked (evil): but God overthroweth the wicked (evil) for their wickedness.

13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.

14 A gift in secret (to give a reward) pacifieth (to tame) anger: and a reward (in the bosom strong wrath.

Proverbs 21:17

17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor (destitute) man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich (accumulate).

Remove anxiousness through prayer – Philippians 4:4-7

Philippians 4:4-7

4Rejoice (be delighted, pleased) in (resting within) the Lord (Christ) always: and again I say, Rejoice.

5Let your moderation (forbearance and consideration) be known (experientially known) unto all men. The Lord (Christ) is at hand.

6Be careful (anxious)l for nothing (not one thing); but in every thing (all things) by prayer (prayers to God) and supplication (specific prayers of need) with thanksgiving let your requests (specific requests) be made known (declare) unto God.

7And the peace (state of wellbeing) of God, which passeth (surpassing) all understanding (thought), shall keep (garrison or fortify) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Your labor is tending to life – Proverbs 10:16-22

Proverbs 10:16-22

16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit (produce) of the wicked (a lawless one) to sin.

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth (leaders away).

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin (the one who speaks the most erred most): but he that refraineth (restraint) his lips is wise.

20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

21 The lips of the righteous feed (instruct) many: but fools die for want of wisdom.

22 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Your labor is tending to life

Set your mind on God an not on this cosmos (kosmos) – Ecclesiastes 7:3-11, Ecclesiastes 7:13-14

Ecclesiastes 7:3-11, Ecclesiastes 7:13-14

3 Sorrow (of grief) is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance (face or presence) the heart is made better (causative – make well, used aright).

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (glee or pleasure).

5 It is better to hear the rebuke (sharp criticism) of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

7 Surely oppression (act of oppression or the act of injury or fraud, distress) maketh a wise man mad; and a gift (a bribe) destroyeth the heart.

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

Set your mind on God an not on this cosmos (kosmos)

You are never alone – 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, Philippians 4:11-13

2 Corinthians 4:7-10

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency (surpassing, throwing beyond) of the power (inherent power) may be of God, and not of us.

8 We are troubled (afflicted) on every side (in every thing), yet not distressed (suffocated as in wrestling); we are perplexed (not knowing which way to turn), but not in despair (altogether without help or means);

9 Persecuted, but not forsaken (abandoned); cast down (to throw or cast down, to strike down), but not destroyed (perished; as persons: put to death; of things: lost or ruined);

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the ~~Lord~~ (Christ) Jesus, that the life also of (Christ) Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

Philippians 4:11-13

11 Not that I speak in respect of want (being in want): for I ~~have~~ learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content (sufficient in oneself, needing no aid).

12 I know both how to be abased (to bring low, humble), and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all (am strong for all) things through (resting within) Christ which strengtheneth (imparteth strength) me.

God’s timing is beautiful – Ecclesiastes 3:6-14

Ecclesiastes 3:6-14

6 A time to get (seek or ask by prayer, get, acquire), and a time to lose; a time to keep (guard), and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend (to cut out), and a time to sew (to join together); a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth (toileth)?

10 I have seen the travail (considered the business), which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time (its proper season): also he hath set (put) the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them (in God’s works), but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

God’s timing is beautiful

You are set free from condemnation – Romans 8:1-4

Romans 8:1-4

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, ~~who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.~~

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath ~~made me free~~ (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

You are set free from condemnation

We have all ability from God – 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 ESV

2 Corinthians 4:3-6 ESV (English Standard Version)

3And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.[b]

4Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

We have all ability from God

Don’t put Christ to an open shame – Hebrews 6:1-6

Hebrews 6:1-6

6 Therefore leaving (having left) the principles (word) of the doctrine of Christ (the messiah), let us go on (be born along) unto perfection (completeness or perfectness: that which has reached it’s full end); not laying again the foundation of repentance (change of mind from sin itself to spiritual) from dead works, and of faith (not the principle but the feeling of confidence) toward God,

2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3 And this will we do, if God permit.

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened (shined upon), and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made (became) partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew (to terminate and make new) them again unto repentance (a real change in mind from sin itself to spiritual, change in moral thought); seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Don’t put Christ to an open shame

Be a complete man – Ephesians 4:13-15, Ephesians 4:22-24

Ephesians 4:13-15

13 Till we all come in the unity (oneness) of the faith (firm, pursuant, conviction), and (even) of the knowledge (perfect knowledge) of the Son (the heir) of God, unto (motion to) a perfect (complete) man, unto (motion to) the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be (may be) no more (no longer) children (not old enough to speak), tossed to and fro (surging about as waves), and carried about (born hither and thither) with every wind (air in motion) of doctrine (the teaching), by (remianing within) the sleight (entrapping by deceit) of men, and cunning craftiness (with subtlety), whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth (truthing it) in love, may grow up into him in all things, ~~which~~ (who) is the head, even Christ:

Ephesians 4:22-24

22 That ye put off (put away) concerning (with the ultimate purpose) the former (before) conversation (manner of life) the old man (Adam nature), which is corrupt (being corrupted) according to the deceitful lusts (sinful desires);

23 And be renewed (implies that the whole course of life now flows in a different direction) in the spirit of your mind (reflective conscious);

24 And that ye put on (like a tee shirt) the new man (new spiritual nature), (that) which after (along the same motion) God ~~is~~ (was) created in (remaining within) righteousness and ~~true~~ (of the truth) holiness (godliness).

Be a complete man

Don’t be severed from Christ – Galatians 5:1-6

Galatians 5:1-6

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty (freedom to to go where one will) wherewith Christ ~~hath~~ made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 ~~Christ is become of no effect unto you~~ (Ye were severed from Christ), whosoever of you are justified (set forth as righteous) by (remaining within) ~~the~~ law; ye are fallen (fallen off) from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit (operations of the holy spirit) wait (anxious looking with outstretched hand) for the hope (the expectation of future good) of righteousness by (out from the origins of) faith (a firm persuasion).

6 For in (remaining within) Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth (to be strong, mighty, powerful in anything) any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith ~~which worketh~~ (working) by (through) love.

Don’t be severed from Christ

We are set in a state corresponding to God’s nature – 1 Corinthians 6:11-13

1 Corinthians 6:11-13

11And such were some of you: but ye are washed (cleansed by bathing), but ye are sanctified (set or placed in a state corresponding to God’s nature) but ye are justified (set forth as righteous) in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by (remaining within) the Spirit (holy spirit) of our God.

12All things are lawful ~~un~~to me, but (not) all things are ~~not~~ expedient (profitable): all things are lawful ~~for~~ (to) me, but I will not be brought (to have authority) under the power of any.

13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them…

God will rescue you from every situation – 2 Peter 2:9

2 Peter 2: 9-12

9….and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust (sinful desire) of uncleanness (a dyeing: hence solution, stain, taint), and despise government (dominion). Presumptuous (daring) are they, selfwilled (assuming), they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities (glories).

11 Whereas (In which or what place) angels, which are (though being) greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.

12 But these, as natural (according to nature) brute (unreasonable, irrational) beasts (living creatures), made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of (remaining within) the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;

2 Peter 2:9

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver (rescue) the godly out of temptations (a putting to the test, proof, trail), and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

God will rescue you from every situation

We are acquainted again with God’s love – Romans 5:8-10, Romans 5:1

Romans 5:8-10

8 But God commendeth (put together, to introduce to one’s acquaintance) his love toward (unto, in direction) us, ~~in that~~ (because), while we were yet sinners, Christ (the messiah) died for us.

9 Much more then, being now justified (set forth as righteous) by (remaining within) his blood (Jesus Christ’s blood) we shall be saved (to make sound) from wrath through him.

10 For if, when we were enemies (object of emnity), we were reconciled (to change against anything; a change that the opposite party lays aside its enmity) to God by (out from) the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

Romans 5:1

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

We are acquainted again with God’s love

The worlds knowledge is worthless – Proverbs 19:1-3, Proverbs 19:8, Proverbs 19:11, Proverbs 19:21

Proverbs 19:1-3

19 Better is the poor (a needy one) that walketh (behaves, exercise) in his integrity (complete, prosperity, moral innocence) , than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3 The foolishness (weakness of intellect, want of understanding, conduct contrary to God) perverteth (subverted, overthrow) his way: and his heart fretteth (angry with) against the Lord.

Proverbs 19:1-3, Proverbs 19:8, Proverbs 19:11, Proverbs 19:21

8 He that getteth wisdom (of heart) loveth his own soul: he that keepeth (guards, protects) understanding shall find good.

11 The discretion (prudence) of a man deferreth (to make long, draws out, lengthen) his anger; and it is his glory (beauty, honor, majesty) to pass over a transgression.

13 Till we all come in the unity (oneness) of the faith (firm, pursuant, conviction), and (even) of the knowledge (perfect knowledge) of the Son (the heir) of God, unto (motion to) a perfect (complete) man, unto (motion to) the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be (may be) no more (no longer) children (not old enough to speak), tossed to and fro (surging about as waves), and carried about (born hither and thither) with every wind (air in motion) of doctrine (the teaching), by (remianing within) the sleight (entrapping by deceit) of men, and cunning craftiness (with subtlety), whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the truth (truthing it) in love, may grow up into him in all things, ~~which~~ (who) is the head, even Christ:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted (knit together, to join) by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working (power in action) in the measure (measure of context, standard) of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

God’s working with you – 2 Corinthians 7:8-10

2 Corinthians 7:8-10

8For though I made you sorry (grieved) with (by) a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the (that) same epistle hath made you sorry (grieved), though it were but for a season.

9Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry (grief), but that ye sorrowed (grieved) to repentance (a real change of mind from sin itself; change of moral thought : from sin nature to spiritual nature; alway for the better): for ye were made sorry (grieved) after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage (suffer loss) by us in nothing.

10For godly sorrow (grief) worketh (to work out) repentance (a real change of mind from sin itself; change of moral thought : from sin nature to spiritual nature; alway for the better) to salvation not to be repented (regretted) of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

2 A time (season) to be born (to bear), and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal (break open, breach); a time to break down, and a time to build up (rebuild);

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn (to wail), and a time to dance (jump, leap, skip for joy);

5 A time to cast away stones (as of out of a vineyard), and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get (seek or ask by prayer, get, acquire), and a time to lose; a time to keep (guard), and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend (cut out), and a time to sew (to join together); a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

10 I have seen the travail (considered the business), which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time (its proper season): also he hath set (put) the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship (stewardship – steward: a man in great families to manage domestic concerns) of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things ~~by Jesus Christ~~:

Ephesians 3:15-19

16 That (in order that) he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that (in order that) ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

Ecclesiastes 6:8-10

8 For what (advantage) hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living (with life being alive)?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes (for what is seen thereby) than the wandering of the desire (for what is pursued thereby): this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Ecclesiastes, 7:14

19 For I through (passing through) ~~the~~ law ~~am dead~~ (died) to the law, that I might live unto God.

13 Forbearing (to hold up) one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel (complaint, occasion to blame) against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on ~~charity~~ (love), which is the bond (that which binds together, a bundle) of perfectness (completeness that which has reached its full and intended end).

Colossians 3:10

Be known of God through love – 1 Corinthians 8:7-13, 1 Corinthians 8:1-3

1 Corinthians 8:7-13

7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

1 Corinthians 8:1-3

8 Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge (experiential knowledge). Knowledge (to com and to get to know) puffeth (to inflate) up, but charity (love in it’s fullest conceivable form) edifieth (builds up).

2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.

3 But if any man love God, the same (this one) is known of (by) him.

Ecclesiastes 6:1-3

6 There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

2 A man (ish) to whom God (Elohim) hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul (himself) of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof (to enjoy it – modern language translation), but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

3 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled (satisfied) with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely (premature) birth is better than he.

Ecclesiastes 5:19

19 Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.

Ecclesiastes 6:9

9 Better is the sight of the eyes (for what is seen thereby) than the wandering (what is pursued by) of the desire (the soul) : this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, ~~who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.~~

2 For the law of the Spirit (the new spiritual nature) of life (the spiritual law of life) in (resting within) Christ Jesus hath ~~made me free~~ (freed me) from (away from) the law of sin (aberration from the prescribed law) and death (the state of death).

3 For what the law could not do (the impossible things of the law), in that it was weak (wickedness, depraved, evil nature) through the flesh, God sending (having sent) his own Son in the likeness (similitude) of sinful flesh (flesh of sin), and for (as concerning) sin (aberration from the prescribed law), condemned (gave sentence against) sin in the flesh :

4 That (In order that) the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled (accomplished) in (resting within) us, who walk not after (in parallel motion with) the flesh (the old nature), but after (in parallel motion with) the Spirit (the new spiritual nature).

2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Hebrews 6:17-19

17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability (unchangeableness) of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

18 That by two immutable (unchangeable) things, in (remaining within) which it ~~was~~ (is) impossible for God to lie, we might (may) have a strong consolation (a summoning to one’s side), who have fled (fled) for refuge (shelter or protection) to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Bullinger: “To man (pertain) the plans of his heart; but from Jehovah (comes) the final decree (judicial sentence)”

2 All the ways of a man are clean (pure) in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth (with moral and spiritual weights) the spirits.

3 Commit thy works (actions) unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established (stand fast, upright).

4 The Lord hath made all things for himself (His decree, His own end): yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5 Every one that is proud (high, proud) in heart is an abomination (morally disgusting) to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished (made clean).

6 By mercy (grace, lovingkindness) and truth iniquity (perverseness) is purged (covered, “sealed”): and by the fear (reverential awe) of the Lord men depart from evil.

7 When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

3 But with (for) me it is a very small thing that I should be judged (examined) of you, or of (by) man’s judgment (man’s day): yea, I judge (examine) not mine own self.

4 For I know (am conscience of) nothing (not one thing) by (against) myself; yet am I not hereby (in this) justified (set forth as righteous): but he that judgeth (examines) me is ~~the Lord~~ (Christ).

5 Therefore judge (pronounce sentence) not~~hing~~ before (in front of place, time, authority) the time (season), until the Lord (the Christ) come, who both will bring to light (make known, publish) the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels (determination, resolve) of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile (bait for fish, used for catching):

11 Let him eschew (turn away)evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.

11 But that no man is justified (set for as righteous) by ~~the~~ law in the sight (before) of God, it is evident: for, “The just shall live by faith“.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, “The man that doeth them shall live in them“.

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain (without purpose, to no purpose)? if it be yet in vain (without purpose, to no purpose).

4 In whom the god of this world (aion: age) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light (illumination) of the glorious gospel of Christ (the messiah), who is the image (the likeness or resemblance which is meant to be found in the image) of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus ~~the~~ (as) ~~Lord~~ (Christ); and ourselves your servants ~~for~~ (on account of) Jesus’ sake.

6 For God, who commanded (spoke) the light (underived and absolute) to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light (the illumination) of the knowledge (gnosis – experiential knowledge) of the glory of God in the face of ~~Jesus~~ Christ.

God’s light shines in you

Adorn the inner man – 1 Peter 3:1-4, 1 Peter 3:8-9

1 Peter 3:1-4

3 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation (behavior) of the wives;

2 While they behold your chaste conversation (pure behavior) coupled with fear.

3 Whose adorning (kosmos – the arrangement) let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

4 But let it be the hidden man (inward man) of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek (enduring all with an even temper) and quiet (exciting no disturbance in others, tranquility arising from within) spirit (one’s character manifesting from one’s actions), which is in the sight of God of great price.

1 Peter 3:8-9

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

Adorn the inner man

God has always been here – Psalms 105:1-5, Psalms 105:12-14

Psalms 105:1-5

105 O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

Psalms 105:12-14

12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

God has always been here

God’s love is in you and towards you – Romans 5:1-5

Romans 5:1-5

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By (the dividing line) whom ~~also~~ we have (obtained) access (the introduction) also by (the dividing line) faith into (motion to) this grace (a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition) wherein (in which) we stand, and rejoice (speak loud, boast, vaunt oneself) in (resting within) hope (expectations of future good) of the glory (a real knowledge of a matter, that which attracts attention) of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory (rejoice also) in (resting within) tribulations (pressure, compression, hence pressure from evil, affliction, stress) also: knowing that tribulation worketh (effects) patience (patient enduring);

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

5 And hope (expectations of future good) maketh not ashamed (cause shame); because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad (to shed blood, to pour out, to kill) in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which ~~is~~ (was) given ~~un~~to us.

God’s love is in you and towards you

Christ is in you through faith to be found in love – Ephesians 3:14-19

Ephesians 3:14-19

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father ~~of our Lord Jesus Christ~~,

15 Of (out from) whom the whole (every) family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That (in order that) he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that (in order that) ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

18 May be (fully able) able to comprehend (comprehend for one’s self) with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ (the messiah), which passeth knowledge (gnosis – experiential knowledge), that ye might be filled (to fulfill, accomplish) with all the fulness of God.

Christ is in you through faith to be found in love

God knows what’s going on – Proverbs 20:1-5, Proverbs 20:24

Proverbs 20:1-5

20 Wine (intoxication) is a mocker (one that mocks; to imitate in contempt, to defeat, to ridicule), strong drink is raging (rage, war): and whosoever is deceived (causatively mislead) thereby is not wise.

2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.

3 It is an honour for a man to cease (a sitting still) from strife (angry dispute, argument): but every fool will be meddling (breaking out).

4 The sluggard (sluggish, lazy) will not plow by reason of the cold (by implication: Autumn or when fruits abound); therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Proverbs 20:24

24 Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?

God knows what’s going on

Jesus Christ is the right application of knowledge – 1 Corinthians 1:24, Colossians 4:1-4

1 Corinthians 1:24

24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Colossians 4:1-4

4 Masters, give ~~un~~to your servants that which is just and equal (righteous, just); knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.

2 Continue in prayer (prayers offered to God), and watch in ~~the~~ (it) ~~same~~ with (remaining within) thanksgiving (to show oneself thankful);

3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:

4 That I may make it manifest (bring to light), as I ought to speak (to talk or to use voice – without reference to what is spoken).

Jesus Christ is the right application of knowledge

The words of faith – Romans 10:1-4, Romans 10:8-10

Romans 10:1-4

10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves ~~un~~to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

Romans 10:8-10

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The words of faith

Live for now and with God- Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, Ecclesiastes 2:17-24

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

2 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth (social merriment, high excitement of pleasurable feeling), therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity (that which soon vanishes).

2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?

3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

4 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:

5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:

6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.

11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:17-24

17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.

21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.

24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

Live for now and with God

Christ is the end of the law – Romans 9:31-33, Romans 10:1-4

31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Romans 10:1-4

10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe: vehement passion)of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted).

3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness (the doing or being what is just or right), and going about (seeking) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted (not to understand, not to perceive) themselves ~~un~~to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion to the end) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

Christ is the end of the law

God is able to do infinitely beyond what you ask or think – Ephesians 3:17-21

Ephesians 3:17-21

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father ~~of our Lord Jesus Christ~~,

15 Of (out from) whom the whole (every) family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That (in order that) he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that (in order that) ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

18 May be (fully able) able to comprehend (comprehend for one’s self) with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ (the messiah), which passeth knowledge (gnosis – experiential knowledge), that ye might be filled (to fulfill, accomplish) with all the fulness of God.

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father ~~of our Lord Jesus Christ~~,

15 Of (out from) whom the whole (every) family in heaven and earth is named,

16 That (in order that) he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that (in order that) ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

18 May be (fully able) able to comprehend (comprehend for one’s self) with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

19 And to know the love of Christ (the messiah), which passeth knowledge (gnosis – experiential knowledge), that ye might be filled (to fulfill, accomplish) with all the fulness of God.

20 Now unto him that (who) is able to do exceeding abundantly (infinitely beyond abundance) above all (things) that we ask or think (the implied pleading for cause), according to the power that worketh in us,

21 U~~n~~to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

God is able to do infinitely beyond what you ask or think

Look for the coming of the Lord – 2 Peter 3:11-14, 2 Peter 1:2

2 Peter 3:11-14

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking (Be in expectation) for and hasting (yes, earnestly looking for) ~~unto~~ the coming of the day of God, wherein (on account of which) the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements (elementary rules) shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore (on account of which)(, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot (spotless), and blameless (not open to censure or adverse criticism).

2 Peter 1:2

2 Grace (God’s loving disposition) and peace (undisturbed state of wellbeing) be multiplied (make you full) unto you through (through the instrument) the knowledge (Having a true and personal relation with the object and heeding it’s advice) of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

Look for the coming of the Lord

Live in the newness of God’s nature – Colossians 3:8-14

Colossians 3:8-14

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8 But now ye also put off (like a tee shirt) all these; anger (anger with revenge), wrath (the causel passion that could lead to wrath) , malice (every form of evil), blasphemy (slander), filthy communication (the license of the ungoverned tongue, obscene language) out of your mouth.

9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man (mans nature) with his deeds;

10 And have put on (like a tee shirt) the new man (new spiritual nature), which is renewed (daily acquiring strength) in knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship with an object where you hear from that object and heed it’s advice) after (in parallel motion with) the image (pattern) of him that created him:

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on (like a tee shirt) therefore, as the elect (chosen) of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies (subjective compassion), kindness (sweetness of disposition input of ingratitude), humbleness (modesty) of mind, meekness (enduring all things with an even temper), longsuffering;

13 Forbearing (holding up) one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.

14 And above all these things put on ~~charity~~ (love), which is the bond of perfectness.

Live in the newness of God’s nature

You are absolutely reconnected to God – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

17 Therefore if any man be in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), ~~he is~~ (there is) a new ~~creature~~(creation): old things (the ancient things) are passed away; behold, ~~all things~~ (they) are become new (freshly new, new bottle).

18 And all things (as a whole) are of God, who ~~hath~~ reconciled (reconnected) us to himself by ~~Jesus~~ Christ (the messiah), and ~~hath~~ given to us the ministry of reconciliation (the reconnection);

19 To wit, that God was in (resting within) Christ (the messiah), reconciling (reconnecting) the world (kosmos: the arrangement) ~~un~~to himself, not imputing (counting) their trespasses (the falling aside) unto them; and hath committed unto (placed in) us the word (logos: the spoken word as connected to the inner thoughts) of reconciliation (reconnection).

20 Now then we are ambassadors (to be an elder, take precedence) for Christ (the messiah), as though God did beseech you (is beseeching) by us: we pray you in Christ’s (the messiah) stead, be ye reconciled to God.

21 ~~For~~ He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no (not) sin; that we might be (become) ~~made the~~ righteousness of God in him.

You are absolutely reconnected to God

Stand in God’s wisdom – Ecclesiastes 7:1-14

Ecclesiastes 7:1-14

7 A good (precious) name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

3 Sorrow (vexation of unmerited treatment, vexation of grief) is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance (face or presence) the heart is made better (causative – make well, used aright) .

4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth (glee, pleasure).

5 It is better to hear the rebuke (sharp criticism) of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

6 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

7 Surely oppression (the act of oppression) maketh a wise man mad; and a gift (a bribe) destroyeth the heart.

8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

11 Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. Render: “Wisdom (is as) good as riches, and more advantageous to them that see the sun or are alive”.

12 For wisdom is a defence (defense or shade), and money is a defence (defense or shade): but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life (future) to them that have it.

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

Stand in God’s wisdom

Stand as righteous – Hebrews 8:8-12, Psalms 37:28-34

Hebrews 8:8-12

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into (in companionship) their mind, and write them in (upon) their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness (wrong doing), and their sins and their iniquities (violations of the law) will (present and past tense)I remember no more.

Psalms 37:28-34

28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Stand as righteous

Live your life through love – 2 Corinthians 6:6, 2 Corinthians 7:6

2 Corinthians 6:6

6By pureness, by knowledge (experiential knowledge), by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

2 Corinthians 7:6

6Nevertheless God, that comforteth (to call aside, or to appeal to) those that are cast down (lowly), comforted us by the coming of Titus;

Live your life through love

Be a child of the light – Ephesians 5:8-15

8For ye were sometimes (once) darkness (the darkness of blindness), but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children (sons) of light:

9(For the fruit of the Spirit (light) is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10Proving (to approve by trial) what is acceptable (well pleasing) unto the Lord.

11And have no fellowship (partnership) with the unfruitful works of (the) darkness, but rather reprove (convict) ~~them~~.

12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

13But all things that are reproved (convicted) are made manifest (make apparent; show openly) by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest (made apparent) is light.

Be a child of the light

Stand in grace – Galatians 4:1-9, Galatians 5:1-5

Galatians 4:1-9

4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as (for such time as) he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord (owner) of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so (so also) we, when we were children, were in bondage (enslaved) under the elements (elementary rules) of the world (the kosmos: the arrangement):

4 But when the fulness (of which it is full) of the time ~~was come~~ (came), God sent forth his Son, made (came into existence) of a woman, made under ~~the~~ law,

5 To redeem (to buy out) them that were under ~~the~~ law, that we might receive (in full) the ~~adoption of sons~~ (sonship).

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of his Son into ~~y~~our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more (longer) a servant, but a son; and if a son, ~~then an heir of God through Christ~~ (through God).

9 But now, after that ye have known (experiential knowledge) God, or rather are known (experiential knowledge) of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

Galations 5:1-5

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty (freedom to to go where one will) wherewith Christ ~~hath~~ made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 ~~Christ is become of no effect unto you~~ (Ye were severed from Christ), whosoever of you are justified by (in) ~~the~~ law; ye are fallen (off) from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit (operations of the holy spirit) wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Stand in grace

The new covenant – Hebrews 7:18-19, Hebrews 8:8-12

18 For there is verily a disannulling (displacement, setting aside) of the commandment going before (to lead forward, to proceed) for (on account of) the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

Hebrews 8:8-12

8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into (in companionship) their mind, and write them in (upon) their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness (wrong doing), and their sins and their iniquities (violations of the law) will (present and past tense)I remember no more.

The new covenant

We are born into love – 1 John 4:4-5, 1 John 4:12-15, 1 John 4:18

1 John 4:4-5

4 Ye are of (out from the origins of) God, little children (natural descendants, term of endearment), and have overcome (victorious) them: because greater (by measure or stature) is he that is in you, than he that is in the world (kosmos: the arrangement).

5 They are of the world (kosmos: the arrangement): therefore (on account of this) speak they of (out from) the world (kosmos: the arrangement), and the world heareth them.

1 John 4:12-15

13 Hereby know we that we dwell (remain, stay, abide) in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

1 John 4:18

18 There is no (not) fear in love; but perfect (that which has reached its end) love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment (punishment). He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We are born into love

Put on the new man – Colossians 3:7-13

Colossians 3:7-13

7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.

8 But now ye also put off (like a tee shirt) all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication (the license of the ungoverned tongue, obscene language) out of your mouth.

Walk in light or the new spiritual nature – Ephesians 5:8-17

Ephesians 5:8-17

8 For ye were sometimes (once) darkness (the darkness of blindness), but now are ye light in the Lord: walk (course of life) as children (sons) of light:

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit (light) is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10 Proving (to approve by trial) what is acceptable (well pleasing) unto the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship (partnership) with the unfruitful works of darkness (the darkness), but rather reprove (convict) them.

12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly (precisely, accurately), not as fools, but as wise,

16 All scripture (book of authority) is given by inspiration of God (God breathed), and is profitable (helpful, aiding, useful) for doctrine (teaching, especially the substance or result of teaching), for reproof (proof, or conviction, convincing argument), for correction (to set right again), for instruction (the training of a child) in (resting within) righteousness:

17 That (in order that) the man of God may be perfect (perfectly fitted), thoroughly furnished (equipped) unto all good works (every work).

11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12Looking (be in expectation) for and hasting (yes, earnestly looking for) ~~unto~~ the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

9Persecuted, but not forsaken (abandoned); cast down (to throw or cast down, to strike down), but not destroyed (perished; as persons: put to death; of things: lost or ruined);

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (through) faith; that (in order that) ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

18 May be (fully able) able to comprehend (comprehend for one’s self) with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions (sinful motions) ~~of sins~~, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6 But now we are delivered (to make useless, void) from the law, ~~that being dead wherein we were held~~ (having died (to that) in which we were held); that (so that) we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Romans 7:24-25

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

12 Whoso loveth instruction (discipline, correction) loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish (concretely stupid).

2 A good man (ish: a great man, a Godly man) of the Lord: but a man of wicked (lawless) devices will he condemn.

3 A man (adam) shall not be established (to be erect, stand perpendicular) by wickedness (lawlessness): but the root of the righteous (one’s) shall not be moved.

4 A virtuous (worthy) woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed (to pale in color; become dry, to be ashamed) is as rottenness in his bones.

5 The thoughts (plans) of the righteous are right (just): but the counsels (steering or direction) of the wicked (lawless) are deceit (deception).

6 The words (a spoken thing) of the wicked (lawless) are to lie in wait (lurk, ambush) for blood (that which causeth death, bloodshed) : but the mouth (the mouth (as a means of blowing)) of the upright (one’s) shall deliver (defend, escape) them.

Trust in God – Proverbs 22:1-7, Proverbs 22:17-19

2 The rich and poor meet together: the Lord is the maker of them all.

3 A prudent (cunning and crafty) man foreseeth the evil, and hideth (to hide by covering be absent, conceal) himself: but the simple (artless, unsuspecting) pass on, and are punished (suffer for it, pays the penalty).

4 By humility (the reward of humility that is the fear of Jehovah) and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.

5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the froward (perverse): he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them.

6 Train up a child in the way he should go (to hedge in, like cattle, a narrow path): and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

7 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

17 Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge (teaching).

9 Wherefore God also ~~hath~~ highly exalted him, and given (gave) him ~~a~~ (the) name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out (effect or achieve) your own salvation (safety or preservation) with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God which worketh (to form by labor) in you both to will (the emotional will to do) and to (work) do of his good pleasure (desire).

14 Do all things without murmurings (self uttering in a low and private voice/manifest discontent) and disputings:

15 That ye may be (become) blameless (not open o criticism) and harmless (unmixed or pure), the sons of God, without rebuke (blemish), in the midst of a crooked (bent sideways from dryness) and perverse (distortion or twist) nation (generation), among whom ye shine as lights in the world (kosmos);

Discern both time and judgement – Proverbs 8:1-7, Proverbs 8:11, Proverbs 8:15

8 Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation (understanding) of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness (sterness) of his face shall be changed.

2 I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.

3 Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

4 Where the word of a king is, there is power (might, control): and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart discerneth both (a) time and judgment (time).

6 Because to every purpose there is time (a) and judgment (time), therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

8 There is no man that hath power (might, control) over the spirit to retain (restrict, refrain) the spirit; neither hath he power (might, control) in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness (morally wrong) deliver (escape, release) those that are given to it.

Proverbs 8:11

11 Because sentence (judicial sentence) against an evil work is not executed speedily (quickly), therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Proverbs 8:15

15 Then I commended mirth (gladness or gaiety accompanied by laughter), because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

Discern both time and judgement

16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened (make powerful in effect) with might (the being able, ability) by his Spirit (holy spirit) in the inner (the within) man;

17 That Christ (the Christ) may dwell (to settle down in a fixed dwelling, the place) in your hearts by (motion to, unto) faith; that ye, being rooted (to take root) and grounded (founded) in love,

18 May be (fully able) able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

Whatever you love, you will not be satisfied thereby – Proverbs 5:1-10, Proverbs 5:18

Proverbs 5:1-10

5 Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.

4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.

8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

9 Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Proverbs 5:18

18 Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

Whatever you love, you will not be satisfied thereby

Do not frustrate or reject the grace of God – Galations 2:16-21

Galations 2:16-21

16 Knowing that a man is not justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) ~~the~~ works (work, deed, then that which is brought into being or accomplished by labor) of ~~the~~ law (God’s divine law not merely the conception), but (except) by (through) ~~the~~ faith of Jesus Christ, even we (also) ~~have~~ believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by (though) ~~the~~ works of ~~the~~ law: for by the works of ~~the~~ law shall no (not all) flesh be justified.

17 But if, while we seek to be justified by (resting within) Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

19 For I through (passing through) ~~the~~ law ~~am dead~~ (died) to the law, that I might live unto (motion to) God.

20 I am (have been)crucified (nailed or staked to a tree) with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not (no longer) I, but Christ liveth in (resting within) me: and the life which (in what respect) I now live in the flesh I live by (through) ~~the~~ faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

21 I do not frustrate (reject) the grace (kind, affectionate disposition) of God: for if righteousness come by (through) ~~the~~ law, then Christ ~~is dead~~ (died) in vain.

Do not frustrate or reject the grace of God

We dwell in God’s love by believing – 2 Timothy 1:7, 1 John 4:16, 1 John 4:11-15, 1 John 4:16-18

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear (cowardice); but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1 John 4:16

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

1 John 4:11-15

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man (one) hath seen (beheld) God at any time. If (future, on possible condition or contingent on circumstances) we love one another, God dwelleth in (remaining within) us, and his love is perfected (made perfected) in us.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

1 John 4:16-18

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no (not) fear in (remaining within) love; but perfect (that which has reached its end) love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment (punishment). He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

We dwell in God’s love by believing

11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied (filled with satisfaction) with bread: but he that followeth (run after) vain (empty or worthless) persons is void of understanding (understanding).

12 The wicked (evil one’s) desireth the net (fig: for what is caught in it) of evil men (of which use evil men): but the root of the righteous yieldeth (giveth to other’s instead of taking them as prey) fruit.

13 The wicked (evil men) is snared (trap or hook) by the transgression (revolt or rebellion) of his lips (fig: for that which is spoken by them): but the just shall come out of trouble.

14 A man (Godly man) shall be satisfied (be filled to satisfaction, have plenty) with good by the fruit (produce) of (according to) his mouth: and the recompence (benefit, reward) of a man’s (Adam – carnal man) hands shall be rendered (rendered back) unto him.

Proverbs 12:1

12 Whoso loveth instruction (discipline, correction) loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish (concretely stupid).

2 Timothy 1:6-9

6Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear (cowardice); but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

8Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;

9Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

We aren’t given the spirit of fear

14 Whereunto (Unto which) he called (summoned, to call by name) you by our gospel, to the obtaining (unto acquiring) of the glory (splendor, brilliance resting within the appearance) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast (firm), and hold (lay hold on) the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle (letter).

16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, ~~even~~ our Father, which ~~hath~~ loved us, and ~~hath given~~ (gave) us everlasting (everlasting of or belonging to an age) consolation (a calling near, summons, encouraging, exhortation, invitation) and good hope (expectation of future good) through (resting within) grace (free undeserved favor),

2 Corinthians 3:3-5

You will and are triumphing

10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly (not keeping rank, neglectful of duties), working not at all (in nothing), but are busybodies (to be busy about useless matters).

12 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

13 But ye, brethren, be not weary (faint) in well doing.

14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

2 Thessalonians 3:3-5

3 But ~~the~~ Lord (Christ) is faithful, who shall stablish (set forth, establish) you, and keep (guard) you from evil (evil one).

God tries and refines the heart – 1 Thessalonians 2:4, Proverbs 17:3, 1 Thessalonians 2:12-13

1 Thessalonians 2:4

4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth (examines) our hearts.

Proverbs 17:3

3 The fining pot (a vessel used for refining) is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth (examine, prove, try) the hearts.

1 Thessalonians 2:12-13

12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh (is made energetic) also in you that believe.

God tries and refines the heart

Tithe – 2 Corinthians 8:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:8-11, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7

2 Corinthians 8:1-2

8 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit (to make you know) of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;

2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality (single minded, not self seeking).

2 Corinthians 8:8-11

8 I speak not by commandment, but by occasion (through) of the forwardness (zeal, haste) of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.

9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

10 And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

11 Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.

Corinthians 9:6-7

6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly (frugally) shall reap also sparingly (frugally); and he which soweth bountifully (upon blessing) shall reap also bountifully (upon blessing).

7 Every man according as he (hath) purposeth in his heart, ~~so let him give~~; not grudgingly (of grief), or of necessity: for God ~~loveth~~ (blesseth) a cheerful giver.

Tithe

Jesus Christ is directing you to the love of God – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5

3 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word (the spoken word as connected to the inner thought) of the Lord (Christ) may have free course, and be glorified (triumph gloriously), even as it is with you:

2 And that we may be delivered (to draw or snatch from danger) from unreasonable (out of place, out of the way, strange, unnatural) and wicked (evil in nature, bad, ill) men: for all men have not faith.

3 But ~~the~~ Lord (Christ) is faithful, who shall stablish (set fast, establish) you, and keep (guard) you from evil (evil one).

4 And we have confidence (faith) in (remaining within) ~~the~~ Lord (Christ) touching (on account of) you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command (charge) you.

5 And the Lord (Christ) direct (guide) your hearts into (motion to the end) the love of God, and into the patient (patience, as) waiting ~~for~~ (of) Christ.

Jesus Christ is directing you to the love of God

We are so blessed or fortunate – Ephesians 4:1-7

Ephesians 4:1-7

4 I therefore, the prisoner of (resting within) the Lord (Jesus Christ), beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation (calling) wherewith ye are (were) called (summoned),

2 With (In company with) all lowliness (humility) and meekness (enduring with an even temper), with longsuffering, forbearing (bearing with) one another in (remaining within) love;

3 Endeavouring (studying) to keep the unity (oneness) of the Spirit (holy spirit) in (resting within) the bond (that which binds to together) of (the) peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit (new spiritual nature), even as ye are called (summoned) in (resting within) one hope (expectation of future good) of your calling;

5 One Lord (master Jesus Christ), one faith (firm persuasion, conviction), one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above (with dignity and power) all, and through (the dividing line) all, and in (resting within) ~~you~~ all.

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ (the messiah).

We are so blessed or fortunate

You are a son and heir of God – Galations 4:1-7

Galations 4:1-7

4 Now I say, That the heir, as long as (for such time as) he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord (owner) of all;

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.

3 Even so (So also) we, when we were children, were in bondage (enslaved) under the elements (elementary rules) of the world (kosmos: the arrangement):

4 But when the fulness (of which it is full) of the time ~~was come~~ (came), God sent forth his Son, made (to come into existence) of a woman, made (to come into existence) under ~~the~~ law,

5 To redeem (to buy out) them that were under ~~the~~ law, that we might receive the adoption of sons (sonships).

6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit (new spiritual nature) of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

7 Wherefore thou art no more (no longer) a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of (through) God ~~through Christ~~.

You are a son and heir of God – Galations 4:1-7

The fruit that’s planted in you – Romans 7:4; Galations 5:22-25

Romans 7:4

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become (were put to death) dead to the law by (motion to) the body (the crucified body) of Christ; that (in order that) ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should (may) bring forth fruit unto God.

Galations 5:22-25

22 But the fruit of the Spirit (holy spirit) is love (agape: love irrespective of rights), joy (gladness), peace (rest, an undisturbed state of wellbeing), longsuffering (patience from being angry), gentleness (goodness as to people), goodness (ruled by good, moral worth), faith (a firm reliance or believing what you hear from God),

23 Meekness (even temper; tender), temperance (self restraint, dominion over the flesh) : against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections (passions) and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (new spiritual nature).

The fruit that’s planted in you – Romans 7:4; Galatians 5:22-25

od will work to bring forth more fruit in you – John 15:1-3

15I am the true (real) vine, and my Father is the husbandman (a farmer, a cultivator).

2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh (raiseth) away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth (cleanseth) it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3Now (already) ye are clean (without blemish) through (on account of) the word (logos) which I have spoken unto you.

God will work to bring forth more fruit in you

Be fulfilled in joy – Romans 7:4; John 15:14-16; John 15:10-12

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become (were put to death) dead to the law by (motion to) the body (the crucified body) of Christ; that (in order that) ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should (may) bring forth fruit unto God.

John 15:14-16

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth (No longer) I call you not servants (bondservants); for the servant knoweth (to know without effort) not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of (out from the origins of) my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained (placed) you, that ye should go (forth) and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you

John 15:10-12

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide (remain, dwell) in his love (to regard with favor).

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy (the joy that is mine) might remain (be) in you, and that your joy might be full (fulfilled).

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Be fulfilled in joy

Be compassionate, tender hearted, seeking God and praying to him – 1 Peter 3:8-12

1 Peter 3:8-12

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion (being sympathetic; being affected by the feelings of another) one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful (tender hearted, hearted), be courteous (elegant manners, civil, polite, graceful):

9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing (the worst kind of slander, speaking to a mans prejudice)for railing: but contrariwise blessing; ~~knowing~~ that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.

10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain (to make pause) his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile (to bait for fish, to bait for catching):

11 Let him eschew (turn away from) evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue (pursue) it.

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

Be compassionate, tender hearted, seeking God and praying to him – 1 Peter 3:8-12

Lift up your prayers specifically in the name of Jesus Christ – John 16:23

John 16:23

23And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

24Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

25These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

26At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:

Lift up your prayers specifically in the name of Jesus Christ

Live joyfully – Romans 7:4-6; Romans 8:1

Romans 7:4-6

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead (were put to death) to the law by (motion to) the body (crucified body) of Christ; that (to the end that) ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised (roused from sleep) from the dead, that we should (may) bring forth fruit unto God.

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions (sinful motions) ~~of sins~~, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6 But now we are delivered (to make useless, void) from the law, ~~that being dead wherein we were held~~ (having died (to that) in which we were held); that (so that) we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Romans 8:1

8 There is therefore now no (not one) condemnation (judgement against) to them which are in (resting within) Christ Jesus, ~~who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.~~

Live joyfully

The trial of our faith is precious – 1 Peter 1:1-7

1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 Elect (Chosen out, selected) according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through (remaining within) sanctification (essential, purity, holiness) of the Spirit (holy spirtit), unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten (bear again) us again unto a lively hope (the hope of living again) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away (unfading), reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God through (remaining within) faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

The trial of our faith is precious – 1 Peter 1:1-7

The freedom to go where one wants – Galatians 5:1-4

Galatians 5:1-4

5Stand fast therefore in the liberty (freedom to to go where one will) wherewith Christ ~~hath~~ made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

2Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4~~Christ is become of no effect unto you~~ (Ye were severed from Christ), whosoever of you are justified by (in) ~~the~~ law; ye are fallen (off) from grace.

The freedom to go where one wants

Enjoy your life – Ecclesiastes 9:1-10

Ecclesiastes 9:1-10

9 For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.

2 All things come alike to all: there is one event (death) to the righteous, and to the wicked (the lawless one); to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope (confidence): for a living dog (the jews regarded dogs as the most disgusting and despicable) is better than a dead lion (regarded as the most noble).

5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a (and) reward (advantage); for the memory of them is forgotten (ceases to exist).

6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment (perfume).

9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour (toil) which thou takest (toilest) under the sun.

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do (figurative: for the strength put forth by it), do it with thy might (do it while though art able and have time to do it); for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Enjoy your life – Ecclesiastes 9:1-10

Be thankful – Ecclesiastes 5:1-3; Proverbs 1:7; Ecclesiastes 5:10-11

Ecclesiastes 5:1-3

5 Keep thy foot (steps) when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear (obey), than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

2 Be not rash (to tremble inwardly, be alarmed or agitated) with thy mouth, and let not thine (feelings, will) heart be hasty (to hurry) to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

3 For a dream cometh through the multitude (abundance) of business (travail, employment); and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.

Proverbs 1:7

7 The fear (reverential awe) of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools (lax or careless habit of mind and body) despise wisdom and instruction (admonition or discipline).

10 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

11 When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

Be thankful

Knowledge starts with reverential awe – Proverbs 19:1-3; Proverbs 1:7; Proverbs 19:11

Proverbs 19:1-2

19 Better is the poor (a needy one) that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse (distorted hence false) in his lips (figurative for what is spoken thereby), and is a fool.

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge (being cunning, aware) it is not good; and he that hasteth (to press, hasten) with his feet (euphemism: genitals) sinneth.

Proverbs 1:7

7 The fear (reverential awe) of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 19:3

3 The foolishness of man (adam) perverteth (to overthrow a foundation) his way: and his heart fretteth (be angry, sad) against the Lord (Jehovah).

Proverbs 19:11

11 The discretion (intelligence, prudence) of a man deferreth (to delay, put off, postpone) his anger; and it is his glory (spendor or brightness) to pass over (to cover) a transgression.

Knowledge starts with reverential awe

Everything is working together for good – Romans 8:28; 2 Peter 1:2

Romans 8:28

28And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

2 Peter 1:2

2Grace (loving disposition) and peace (undisturbed state of well being) be multiplied (make you full) unto (motion to) you through (the instrument) the knowledge (epignosis: a true and personal relationship where you hear from the object and heed its advice) of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

Everything is working together for good – Romans 8:28

You are protected by the word – Psalms 91:1-4

Psalms 91:1-4

91He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge (shelter from water, falsehood) and my fortress (castle): my God; in him will I trust (confidence, boldness, to be secure).

3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare (lit: bird trap; calamities, plots) of the fowler (those who set the traps), and from the noisome (eagerly rushing upon, by implication: a falling) pestilence (plague, in the sense of destroying).

4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler (coat of mail, something surrounding you).

You are protected by the word

You are in a phenomenal position – Colossians 2:6-13

Colossians 2:6-13

6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him (Jesus Christ):

7 Rooted (to take root) and built up (built upon) in (resting within) him (JC), and stablished (to confirm, ratified) in (by) the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding (more than enough) therein with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

9 For in him (JC) dwelleth (fixed dwelling) all the fulness of the Godhead (divine) bodily (body).

10 And ye are complete (fully furnished) in him (JC), which (who) is the head of all principality (rulership) and power (authority, liberty and right to put forth power):

11 In whom ~~also~~ ye ~~are~~ (were) circumcised (also) with the circumcision made without hands, in putting (stepping) off the body ~~of the sins~~ of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

12 Buried (a corpse, religious purification) with him in baptism (washing from sin), ~~wherein~~ (in whom) also ye are risen (rouse up, in conjunction with) with him through the faith of the operation (being in active power) of God, who ~~hath~~ raised him from the dead.

13 And you, ~~being~~ dead (at that time, the state) in (remaining within) your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened (made alive) together with him, having (graciously) forgiven you all trespasses (sins);

You are in a phenomenal position

We are free – Galatians 21-23; Galations 4:26-31

Galatians 21-23

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.

Galations 4:26-31

26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us ~~all~~.

27 For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.

28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac (according to; after the type of Isaac) was, are the children of promise.

29 But as then he that was born (begotten) after (according to) the flesh persecuted him that was born (begotten) after (according to) ~~the~~ Spirit, ~~even~~ so it is now (also).

30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

31 So then (wherefore), brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

We are free – Galatians 21-23; Galations 4:26-31

We receive from our Lord Jesus Christ – Ephesians 6:7-8

Ephesians 6:7-8

7With good will (willing mind) doing service (in bondage), as to the Lord, and not to men:

8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any (each one) man doeth, the same shall he receive (take care of, provide for, as one fallen in battle… take up, carry off as to preserve, to bring to one’s self) of the Lord, whedther he be bond or free.

e receive from our Lord Jesus Christ – Ephesians 6:7-8

Righteousness will direct your life – Proverbs 11:1-5

11~~A~~ false balance (balances) is abomination (a disgusting thing) to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.

2When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom (prudence, skill, shrewdness).

3The integrity (wholeness, entirety, unbroken state) of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness (crookedness) of transgressors shall destroy them.

4Riches profit not in the day of wrath (God’s wrath): but righteousness delivereth (rescueth) from death.

5The righteousness (righteous acts, righteous cause, righteous ethically, righteous acts) of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.

Righteousness will direct your life – Proverbs 11:1-5

Greater is he that is in you than in the world – 1 John 4:4-6

1 John 4:4-6

4Ye are of (out from the origin) God, little children (natural descendent, term of endearment), and have overcome (victorious, come off, victor) them: because greater (by measure or stature) is he that is in (remaining within) you, than he that is in the world.

5They are of (out from the origins of) the world (kosmos: the arrangement) therefore (on account of this) speak they of (out from the origins) the world (kosmos), and the world heareth them.

6We are of (out from the origins of) God: he that knoweth (experientially know) God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby (from this) know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error (seduction).

Greater is he that is in you than in the world

Strive to enter into God’s rest – Hebrews 3:12-13, Hebrews 4:8-12

Hebrews 3:12-13

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil (full of labors and pains of working mischief) heart of unbelief, in departing (falling away) from the living God.

13 But exhort (to call near, every kind of speaking to which is mean to produce a particular effect; exhortation, comfort, encouragement) one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened (to make dry hard, stiff) through the deceitfulness (self deception, deceit; especially by false statements) of sin.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest (rest day) to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased (rested) from his ~~own~~ works, as God did from his (own).

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall ~~after~~ (resting within) the same example of unbelief.

12 For the word (spoken) of God is quick (living), and powerful (strength and effectual in operation), and sharper (more cutting) than (above) any twoedged sword, piercing (passing through) even to the dividing asunder (the act of dividing) of soul and spirit (natural and spiritual man), and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner (skilled in judging) of the thoughts (secret motives, emotional revolving of the mind) and intents (what is in the mind, idea) of the heart (the seat of ones distinctive character).

Strive to enter into God’s rest

The specific words of the faith – Romans 10:1-4, Romans 10:8-10

Romans 10:1-4

10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for ~~Israel~~ (them) is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal (to boil, seethe; vehement passion) of God, but not according to knowledge (being acquainted with).

3 For they being ignorant (not to understand, not to perceive) of God’s righteousness (the doin or being what is just and right), and going about (seeking about) to establish (cause to stand) their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves ~~un~~to the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ (the messiah) is the end (fulfillment or completion) of the law for (motion towards) righteousness to every one that believeth (to have faith).

Romans 10:8-10

8… the word (specific spoken words) of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God ~~hath~~ raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The specific words of the faith

Put on the whole armor of God – Ephesians 6:10-18

Ephesians 6:10-18

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand (as opposed to falling, stand fast, still) against the wiles (method, cunning device, craftiness) of the devil.

12 For we wrestle (for to us the wrestling is) not against flesh and blood (ie. human beings), but against principalities (the chief rule or ruler), against powers (delayed powers, the right and liberty to put forth power) against (towards) the rulers (world rulers) of the darkness (the present order of things) of this world, against (against) spiritual (hosts) wickedness (the wicked acting of the evil nature) in high places (the heavenliness).

13 Wherefore (On account of this) take ~~unto you~~ (up) the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand (to set oneself against, withstand, oppose, resist) in the evil day (perpetually because the days are evil), and having done all, to stand (stand firm).

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with (remaining within) truth, and having (put) on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation (readiness, hence preparedness arising from) of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked (satanic temptations).

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

18 Praying (to God) always (on every occasion) with (for or with respect to) all prayer (vows to God) and supplication (personal prayers of need) in (remaining within) the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance (strangeness or firmness towards) and supplication (want or need) for all saints;

Put on the whole armor of God

God gives and causes to grow – 1 Corinthians 3:5-8

1 Corinthians 3:5-8

5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?

6I ~~have~~ planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase (causes us to grow).

7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase (cause us to grow).

8Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one (of the same company): and every man (one) shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

God gives and causes to grow

We are sons of God right now – 1 John 5:1-5; 1 John 3:23-24; 1 John 5:18

John 5:1-5

5 Whosoever believeth (to have faith) that Jesus is the Christ is born (begotten, sired, produced, formed) of (out from the origins) God: and every one that loveth him that begat (begotten) loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2 ~~By~~ (Remaining within) this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

1 John 3:23-24

23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1 John 5:2-5

2 ~~By~~ (Remaining within) this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

4 ~~For~~ (because) whatsoever is born (begotten) of God overcometh the world (kosmos: this arrangement): and this is the victory (victory in battle) that overcometh the world, even our faith.

5 Who is he that overcometh (conquer/victorious) the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

1 John 5:18

18 We know that whosoever is born (begotten) of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten (procreated, formed) of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

We are sons of God right now

Walk in the armor of God – 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

1 Thessalonians 5:4-9, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

4 But ye, brethren, are not in (remaining within) darkness (the absence of light), that (in order that) that day should overtake (lay hold of, to seize suddenly) you as a thief.

5 Ye are all the children (with origin to) of light (absolute light and underived), and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep (to compose oneself for sleep), as do others; but let us watch (keep awake) and be sober (sober minded, circumspect, temperate).

7 For they that sleep sleep (to compose oneself for sleep) in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober (to compose oneself for sleep), putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 ~~For~~ (But) God ~~hath~~ not appointed (appointed not) us to wrath, but to obtain (motion to the obtaining) salvation (safety and preservation) by (through) our Lord Jesus Christ,

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Walk with the armor of God

Follow the spirit – Galatians 5:13-18

Galatians 5:13-18

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty (the freedom to go where one wants); only use not liberty for an occasion (opportunity) to the flesh (carnal nature), but by (through) love serve (do service) one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled (accomplished) in one word, even in (remaining) this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

16 This I say then, Walk in (by) ~~the~~ Spirit (new spiritual nature), and ye shall not fulfil (to make a full end) the lust (sinful desire) of the flesh (carnal nature).

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit (new spiritual nature), and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary (lie in opposition) the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under (beneath) the law.

Follow the spirit

Be satisfied – Proverbs 12:10-14

Proverbs 12:10-14

10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies (compassion) of the wicked (lawless one’s) are cruel (terrible).

11 He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied (filled with satisfaction) with bread: but he that followeth (run after) vain (empty or worthless) persons is void of understanding (understanding).

12 The wicked (evil one’s) desireth the net (fig: for what is caught in it) of evil men (of which use evil men): but the root of the righteous yieldeth (giveth to other’s instead of taking them as prey) fruit.

13 The wicked (evil men) is snared (trap or hook) by the transgression (revolt or rebellion) of his lips (fig: for that which is spoken by them): but the just shall come out of trouble.

14 A man (Godly man) shall be satisfied (be filled to satisfaction, have plenty) with good by the fruit (produce) of (according to) his mouth: and the recompence (benefit, reward) of a man’s (Adam – carnal man) hands shall be rendered (rendered back) unto him.

Be satisfied

God gives you the measure of faith – Romans 12:1-3

Romans 12:1-3

12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed (shaped or fashioned) to this world (age): but be ye transformed (alter one’s bearing) by the renewing (renovation) of your mind (the organ of moral thinking), ~~that ye may prove~~(to your proving) what is ~~that~~ (the) good, and acceptable (well pleasing), and perfect, (desired) will of God.

3 For I say, through the grace (undeserved favor) given unto me, to every ~~man~~ (one) that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly (unto the being of a sound mind; without enthusiasm, without intemperate passion, cooly), according as God hath dealt (imparted) to (each and) every ~~man~~ (one) the measure (standard) of (the) faith.

God gives you the measure of faith

We are the called and to have access to God – Ephesians 3:9-12

Ephesians 3:9-12

9And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church (called) the manifold wisdom of God,

11According to the eternal (puppose of the ages) purpose which (which purpose) he purposed (made) in (remaining within) Christ Jesus our Lord:

12In whom we have boldness (speaking all one thinks; fearless candor) and access (a leading or bringing to the presence of anyone; freedom of access) with (remaining within) confidence (confident assurance) by the faith of him.

We are the called and to have access to God

Ask remaining within faith – James 1:1-8

James 1:1-8

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall (fall as to be surrounded) into divers temptations (trails);

3 Knowing this, that the trying (testing) of your faith (your tested faith) worketh (effects or achieves) patience (a patient enduring).

4 But let patience (a patient enduring) have her perfect (full, complete) work, that ye may be perfect and entire (whole in every part), wanting (lacking) (in) nothing.

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask ~~of~~ (from) God, that giveth to all men liberally (in simplicity, with a readiness of heart, without a thought behind, freely), and upbraideth (chide, to scold or reprove) not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in (remanning within) faith, (in) nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Ask remaining within faith

Renew or renovate your mind – Romans 12:2, Romans 12:9-12

2 And be not conformed (shaped or fashioned) to this world (age): but be ye transformed (alter one’s bearing) by the renewing (renovation) of your mind (the organ of moral thinking), ~~that ye may prove~~(to your proving) what is ~~that~~ (the) good, and acceptable (well pleasing), and perfect, (desired) will of God.

Romans 12:9-12

9 Let love be without dissimulation (not counterfeit, not hypocritical, real, sincere). Abhor (Aversion, detesting) ~~that which is~~ (the) evil; cleave (to stick; adhere) to ~~that which is~~ (the) good.

10 Be kindly affectioned (like a family) one to another with brotherly love (love for the brethren); in honour preferring one another;

11 Not slothful (slow or tardy) in business (serious purpose); fervent (boiling hot) in (the) spirit; serving the Lord;

12 Rejoicing in hope (expectation of future good); patient in tribulation; continuing instant (steadfast) in prayer;

Renew or renovate your mind

We are the Lord’s – Romans 14:7-10

Romans 14:7-10

7For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.

8For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.

9For ~~to this end~~ (unto this) Christ (the Messiah) ~~both~~ died, ~~and rose~~, and revived (lived again), that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

10But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought (despise) thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ (the Messiah).

We are the Lord’s

You are called to God’s ultimate purpose – Romans 8:26-28

Romans 8:26-28

26Likewise the Spirit (holy spirit) also helpeth our ~~infirmities~~ (infirmity): for we know not what we should pray (prayers to God) for as we ought: but the Spirit itself (holy spirit) maketh intercession (meet and talks with; to intercede) ~~for us~~ with groanings which cannot be uttered (unutterable).

27~~And~~ (But) he that searcheth (like a lion) the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession (holy spirit) for the saints according to ~~the will of~~ God.

28And we know that all things work (achieves, labor) together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called (called, chosen) according (with horizontal motion to the ultimate purpose) to his purpose (what one sets before his mind, purpose, deliberate).

You are called to God’s ultimate purpose

Hope purifies – 1 John 3:1-3

1 John 3:1-3

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed (given to) upon us, (in order that) that we should be called the sons (descendants, children) of God: therefore (on account of this) the world (kosmos: this arrangement) knoweth (ginosko: experiential learning) us not, because it knew him not (expressing full and direct negation).

2 Beloved, now are we ~~the~~ sons (descendants, children) of God, and it doth not yet appear (to shine forth as to be seen) what we shall be: ~~but~~ we know that, when he (JC) shall appear (to shine forth as to be seen), we shall be like him; for we shall see him (with the eyes and look away from others, to regard) (even as) ~~as~~ he is.

3 And every ~~man~~ that hath this hope (expectation of future good) in (resting within) him purifieth (to make clean, pure, chaste, clean, not contaminated by anything) himself, even as he (JC) is pure (from every defilement).

Hope purifies

Stand firm in liberty – Galatians 5:1-6

Galatians 5:1-6

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty (freedom to go where one will) wherewith Christ ~~hath~~ made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage (servitude).

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

4 Christ is become of no effect unto you (Ye were severed from Christ), whosoever of you are justified by (in) the law; ye are fallen from grace.

5 For we through the Spirit (operations of the Holy Spirit) wait (anxious looking with outstretched hand) for the hope of righteousness by (out from the origins) faith.

6 For in (remaining within) Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh (working) by (through) love.

Galatians 5:1-6

Teach your children to believe – 2 Timothy 1:5-7

2 Timothy 1:5-7

5When I call to remembrance the unfeigned (not playing a part, not hiding under false pretenses) faith~~that is~~ in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.

6Wherefore (On account of which cause) I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up (stir into flame) the gift (gift of grace) of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.

7For God hath not given us ~~the~~ (a) spirit (a character; invisible and manifested in one’s action) of fear (cowardice); but of power (inherent power), and of love, and of a sound mind (a making of a sound mind, controlling all inordinate desires by self constraint).

Teach your children to believe

The expectation of future good will not cause shame – Romans 5:1-5

Romans 5:1-5

5 Therefore being justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) faith (believing), we have peace (state of undisturbed well being) with (out from) God through (the dividing line) our Lord Jesus Christ:

2 By (the dividing line) whom ~~also~~ we have (obtained) access (the introduction) also by (the dividing line) faith into (motion to) this grace (a kind, affectionate, pleasing nature and inclining disposition) wherein (in which) we stand, and rejoice (speak loud, boast, vaunt oneself) in (resting within) hope (expectations of future good) of the glory (a real knowledge of a matter, that which attracts attention) of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory (rejoice also) in (resting within) tribulations (pressure, compression, hence pressure from evil, affliction, stress) also: knowing that tribulation worketh (effects) patience (patient enduring);

4 And patience (patient enduring), experience (the state of being tried or having been tried); and experience (the state of being tried or having been tried), hope (expectations of future good):

5 And hope (expectations of future good) maketh not ashamed (cause shame); because the love (agape) of God is shed abroad (to shed blood, to pour out, to kill) in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which ~~is~~(was) given ~~un~~to us.

The expectation of future good will not cause shame

Put on love – Colossians 3:14-16

Colossians 3:14-16

14And above all these things put on charity (the love), which is ~~the~~ (a) bond (that which binds together, a bundle) of perfectness (completeness, that which has reached its full and intended end).

15And let the peace of ~~God~~ (Christ) rule (lit. to be umpire) in (resting within) your hearts (seat of your being), to (motion to) the which ~~also ye are called~~ (ye were called also) in one body; and be ye thankful (to BECOME grateful, pleasing).

16Let the word (logos: spoken word as connected to the inner though) of Christ dwell (inhabit) in you richly (abundantly, largely) in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord (God).

Put on love

Principles of prayers – Matthew 5:43-48; Matthew 6:5-8

Matthew 5:43-48

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, ~~bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you~~, and pray (pray to God) for (on behalf of) them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 6:5-8

5 And when t~~hou prayest, thou~~ (ye praysest ye) shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray (pray to God) standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets (open places), that they may be seen (appear) of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest (prayers to God), enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray (pray to God) to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for (remaining within) their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them…

Principles of prayers

We serve in the newness of spirt – Romans 7:1-6

Romans 7:1-6

7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead (were put to death) to the law by (motion to) the body (crucified body) of Christ; that (to the end that) ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised (roused from sleep) from the dead, that we should (may) bring forth fruit unto God.

5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions (sinful motions) ~~of sins~~, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

6 But now we are delivered (to make useless, void) from the law, ~~that being dead wherein we were held~~(having died (to that) in which we were held); that (so that) we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

We serve in the newness of spirt

Walk remaining within the right application of what you’ve learned – Colossians 2:1-3

Colossians 2:1-3

2For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;

2That (In order that) their hearts might be comforted (appealed to; call aside), being knit together in (remaining within) love, and unto all riches (abounding in riches) of the full assurance (the trust and conviction) of understanding (reflective insight or thought), to the acknowledgement (epignosis: being acquainted with) of the mystery (sacred secret) of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3In (remaining within) whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom (the right application of knowledge) and knowledge (acquired by learning and effort).

Walk remaining within the right application of what you’ve learned

Love builds up – 1 Corinthians 8:1-6

1 Corinthians 8:1-6

8 Now as touching (concerning) things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge (experiential knowledge). Knowledge puffeth (inflates) up, but ~~charity~~ (love) edifieth (builds up).

3 But if any man love God, the same (this one) is known of (by) him.

4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by (by means of) whom are all things, and we by (by means of) him.

Love builds up

Our body is sold to sin – Romans 7:14-25

Romans 7:14-25

14 For we know that the law is spiritual (determined by the spirit, proceeding from): but I am carnal (that which is attached to having a body), sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow (approve) not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present (to be at hand) with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind (the new nature) I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Our body is sold to sin

Become new – 1 Corinthians 5:6-8; Ecclesiastes 10:1

1 Corinthians 5:6-8

6Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven (leaven causes to ferment and turn sour) leaveneth the whole lump (kneaded mass)?

7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is (was) sacrificed for us:

8Therefore let us keep the feast (our passover is passed we are living in the days of being unleavened), not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Ecclesiastes 10:1

10Dead flies cause (are that which will cause) the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking (to stink and ferment) savour: so doth a little folly (foolishness, stupidity) him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.

Become new
