In this lesson we complete our study of holiness by learning how we become holy. 

Almost Greek (Words in italics are translator’s additions.) 

1^st Thessalonians 4: Finally then, brothers, we request of you and parakaloumen [call near, invite, urge, exhort, encourage] you in the Kurios Jesus, even as you received from us how it is necessary to walk and to please Theos in order that you superabound the more. For you know what commands we gave to you via the Kurios Jesus. For this is the thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] of Theos, your purification: for you to abstain from porneia [whoring, incest, non-marital sexual intercourse], for each one of you knows how to possess his own vessel [body] in hagiasmos [holiness, purity] and time [value, esteem], not in passion of forbidden desire as the ethnoi [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] not knowing Theos. Not shall you climb over or be covetous of your brother in a deed because the Kurios is the Ekdikos [One meting out justice] concerning all these as indeed we earnestly testified and forewarned you. For Theos not called us to impurity, but in hagiasmos. So those despising you, not despise man but Theos, the One giving His Hagios Pneuma to You. 

1^st Corinthians 6: Dares anyone of you (having a matter against another of you) to be judged before the adikeo [unjust] and not before the hagion [holy, sacred, consecrated ones; saints]? Don't you know that the hagioi will judge the kosmon [universe, world, cosmos]? And if the kosmos is judged by you, are you unworthy of small judgments? Don’t you know that we will judge aggeloi [messengers, angels]? (I’m not speaking of this present life.) If (in fact then) you have judgments in this life, do you seat as judges those being least esteemed in the ekklesia [assembly, church]? I say,

“Shame on you!” 

Isn’t in you a wise one? Is not one in your midst who will be able to judge between his brothers? But brother amidst brother is judged and this before [by] those apiston [without faith]. Actually (then) it is already a failure with you that you have lawsuits amidst yourselves. Instead, why not accept injustice? Instead, why not be apostereisthe [deprived, despoiled]? But you do injustice and apostereite [deprive, despoil] and these acts to brothers. Or not know you that those adikeo [being unjust] won't be heirs to the Kingdom of Theos? Do not be led astray! Not pornoi nor idolaters nor moichoi [adulterers] nor effeminate nor sodomites nor thieves nor greedy nor drunkards nor revilers nor plunderers; in no way shall they be heirs to the Kingdom of Theos. And some of you were these but you were totally washed; but you hegiasthete [were made holy]; but you edikaiothete [were rendered just] in the name of the Kuriou and in the Hagios Pneuma of our Theos. 

1^st Corinthians 7.8: I say to the unmarried and widows that it is kalon [beautiful, virtuous] for them if they also remain single as I am. But if they not exercise self-restraint, let them marry for it is better to marry than to be inflamed with lust. To those having married, I command (not I but the Kurios) that a gunaika [woman, wife] isn’t to be separated [divorced] from her man but if she is separated [divorced], to remain unmarried or to be reconciled to her man. A man isn’t to send away his gunaika. To the rest I say (I, not the Kurios), if any brother who has an apistos [without-faith] gunaika and she is pleased to live with him, not let him send her away. A gune with faith in Jesus, who has an apistos man and he is pleased to live with her, not let her send him away. For the apistos man hegiastai [has been made holy] by the of-the-faith gunaiki and the apistos gune hegiastai by the of-the-faith man, otherwise your children are [would be] impure but now they are hagia. But if the apistos separates, let them be separated. The brother or sister isn’t in bondage in such matters. Theos has called us in peace. For how know you, O gunai! whether you will soseis [make safe, save] your man or how know you, O man! whether you will soseis your gunaika? 

Romans 15.14: Now, concerning you, my brothers, even I (myself) am also convinced that you (yourselves) are full of goodness, crammed full of all knowledge and also able to caution [warn] one another. I wrote more boldly to you from afar off, brothers, in part to remind you, via the charin [graciousness] given to me by Theos for to be a public servant of Jesus, the Christou, to the ethne (serving the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of Theos as a priest) in order that the presentation [offering] of the euaggelion of [to] the ethnon be caused to be well received; hegiasmene [made holy, sanctified] in the Hagios Pneuma. 

Acts 26.15: Now, I [Saul, Paul] said,

“Who are You, Kurie?”

Now, He [Jesus] said,

“I AM Jesus Whom you pursue [persecute]. Now otherwise [reversing yourself], rise and stand upon your feet for into this I have caused you to stare wide-eyed, to purpose you to be a sub-servant and a witness, both of what you have seen and of what I will cause you to wide-eyed stare at. I AM plucking you out emergent from the people and the ethnon, to whom I now send you forth to open their eyes, and to revert them from shadiness into luminousness and to revert them from the privilege [authority] of Satana onto Theos, to receive forgiveness of hamartion [missing the mark or goal; erring, offending, sinning] and a lot [portion] in those being hegiasmenois [made holy, sanctified] by their pistei [faith] into Me.” 

Hebrews 2.5: For He didn’t subject the coming habitable land (about which I speak) to aggelois but somewhere one solemnly testified, saying “What is man that You remember [are mindful of] him or the son of man, that You observe him? You made Him [Jesus] a little less than the aggelous. You crowned Him with time [value, esteem, dignity] and glory, and You set Him over the works of Your hands. You subjected all under His feet.” For in order to subject all to Him, He left not even one thing not subjected to Him but now we don’t yet see all having been subjected to Him. But we do see Jesus, having been made a little less than the aggelous, so (by the chariti of Theos) He might taste death for everyone because of His suffering and death, having been crowned with glory and with time [value, esteem, dignity]. For it was fitting for Him (because of Whom all exists) bringing many sons to glory; to perfect Him (the Author of their soterias [rescue, safety, salvation]) via going through suffering. For both He hagiazon [making holy] and the ones hagizoneboi [being made holy] are all of one for which reason He isn’t ashamed to call them brothers, saying, “I will apaggelo [announce, proclaim] Your name, Father, to My brothers and I humneso [will hymn to, will sing praises to] You in the midst of the ekklesias.” 

PSALM 22.22: [Jesus speaking] “I will celebrate Your name to My brothers. I will halal [praise] You among the assembly.”

 

Hebrews 10.9: then He said, “LO! I come to do Your thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree], Theos.”

He takes away the first [1^st Blood Covenant, Old Testament] in order that He may set up the second [2^nd Blood Covenant, New Testament], by which Will and Testament we hegiasmenoi [are made holy, are sanctified] via the prosphoras [presentation, offering] of the somatos [body] of Jesus, the Christou [Mashiyach]; once for everyone. Every priest stands (down to day by day, as a public servant), serving and often prospheron [bearing toward, bringing near, to an altar] the same thusia [animal sacrifice] of which not even one can take away hamartias. But He, prosenelkas [having offered] one thusia on behalf of hamartion, in perpetuity sat down at the right of Theos; from then, accepting [awaiting] until His enemies are placed as a stool for His feet. For by One prosphora He has perfected (in perpetuity) those being hagiazomenous. The Hagios Pneuma also testifies to us. For after having said before,

“After these days, this is the blood covenant which I covenant to them,” says the Kurios, “Giving My laws on their hearts and I will write them on their diathesomai [deep thought, understanding] and not (in no way) will I still remember their hamartion and their lawless deeds.”

Now, where there is aphesis [forgiveness] of these, there is no longer prosphora concerning hamartias.

 

Hebrews 12.9: Moreover, we had fathers of our flesh as correctors and we respected them. Shan't we much more be subject to the Father of Pneumaton [Spirit] and shall live? For they (in fact) disciplined us for a few days down to the seeming-to-them good but He does so for our profit, to partake of His hagiatetos [holiness, sanctification]. In fact, all discipline seems for the present not to be of joy but of grief but later it gives back to those having been trained through it, peaceable fruit of dikaiosunes [equity, justification, rightness]. Therefore, straighten up the dangling alongside hands and the enfeebled knees and make straight tracks for your feet in order that the lame not be turned aside but rather, be healed.

12.14 Pursue shalom [safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship] and hagiasmon [holiness, purity] with everyone, without which not even one person will see the Kuriou. 

PSALM 110.1: A statement of YHWH to My Adonay [Lord, Master]: “Sit at My right until I set Your enemies a stool for Your feet. The rod [scepter] of Your strength shall YHWH send forth out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! Your people shall be willing in the day of Your might. In the majesties of qodesh [hagiasmos], from the womb of the dawn comes the dew of Your youth to You. YHWH has sworn and won't repent: You eternally are a Priest according to the order of Melchizadek!”

Lesson 111 Amplified -- PAIDEIA

 PAIDEIA

American: training, disciplining, chastening, chastising

Hebrew Aramaic: muwcar 

An archaic English infinitive is “to chasten”, which Webster’s New World Dictionary of the American Language defines as “to punish in order to correct or make better; chastise.” “Chastise is defined as “to punish in order to correct, usually by beating.” “Chastisement” is defined as “a chastening; punishment, usually by beating.” As we move from training to chastisement, it seems that the severity of the action intensifies. 

Almost Greek: (Words in italics are translator’s additions.) 

2^nd Corinthians 6: Being your fellow worker, I also parakaloumen [call near, invite, urge, exort, encourage, console] you not vainly to receive the charin [graciousness] of Theos, for He says, “At a favorable time, I heard you and in a day of soterias [rescue, safety, salvation], I helped you.”

 

ISAIAH 49.8: Thus says YHWH:

“In a favorable time, I paid attention to you and in a day of yeshuwah [deliverance, salvation], I surrounded [enfolded, embraced, hugged] you.”

 

[Corinthians continues] LO! now is a favorable time. LO! now is a day of soterias. not even one person in not even one issue should be giving cause of stumbling in order that the service not be blamed. Conversely, in all I am presenting myself as a servant of Theos: in much hupomone [cheerful endurance], in stress, in constraint, hemmed in, in stripes [being whipped], in imprisonment, in riot, in toil, in sleeplessness, in fasting, in purity, in knowledge, in makrothumia [forbearance, patient restraint], in kindness, in the Hagios Pneuma, in unfeigned agape, in a logos of truth, in the dunamei [force, power] of Theos; via the implements of dikaiosunes [equity, justification, rightness] of the right hand [offensively] and of the left hand [defensively]; via glory and via infamy; via defamation and via praise; as a vagrant and yet as true; as unknown and yet as well-known; as dying and notice, I live; as paideuomenoi [trained, chastened, chastised] and yet not killed; as grieved and yet always joyful; as a beggar but making many wealthy; as not having even one possession and yet possessing the whole world.

 

Luke 23.13: Now, Pilate (assembling the chief priests and the elite and the people) said to them,“You brought to me this Man as if He were corrupting the people, and LO! (Interrogating Him before your faces) I found not even one cause for legal action in this Man; none of the charges you bring down upon Him. Furthermore, neither did Herod for I sent Him up to him for you, and LO! not even one cause deserving death is practiced by Him. Accordingly, paideusas [having trained, having disciplined, having chastened, having chastised, having whipped] Him, I will totally free Him.”

 

Luke 23.20: Accordingly, once again Pilate prosphoneo [sounded towards, voiced towards] them, wanting to fully free Jesus but they ephepephonoun [called against, cried against, shouted against] in retort, saying,

“Crucify! Crucify Him!”

But he said toward them a third time.

“For what kakon [worthless] deed did He do? I not found even one cause worthy of death in Him. Accordingly, paideusas Him, I will fully free Him.”

 

Hebrews 12: So, we having such a cloud of witnesses encircling us, putting [throwing] away [behind] every weight [an Olympics dash racing metaphor] and the easily surrounded hamartian [missing the mark or goal; error, offence, sin], let us run the race set before us via hupomones [cheerful endurance, constancy], looking to the Author and Finisher of our pisteos [faith] -- Jesus. Who against the joy set before Him, endured the stake, despising shame and sat down at the right of Theos’ throne. For consider the One having endured such contradiction of hamartolon against Himself by sinners, lest you grow weary, fainting in your psuchais [soul, life, psyche, ego]. You have not yet resisted unto blood, wrestling against hamartian. Have you forgotten the parakleseos [calling near, invitation, imploration, urging, exhortation, encouragement, consolation] which He speaks with you as to sons?

“My son, don’t despise the paideias of the Kuriou, nor faint while being corrected by Him for whom He agapa [unconditionally loves], the Kurios paideuei and He whips every son whom He receives.” 

JOB 5.17: “LO! happy is the man whom Eloah [Father God] corrects and don’t despise the muwcar [paideia] of the Shadday [Almighty]. For He wounds, and then binds up [bandages]. He shatters, and then His hands heal.” 

Isaiah 53.5: But He [Jesus] was pierced for our pesha [rebellion], crumbled [crushed] for our avown [perversity]. The muwcar of our shalom [safety, peace, health, happiness prosperity, friendship] was upon Him and with His chaburah [weals, welts, as from whiplash], we are raphah [mended, cured, healed]. 

End of One Hundred Eleventh Lesson

Lesson 110 Amplified -- PEACE

 EIRENE

American: peace

SHALOM

Hebrew Aramaic: shalom

American: safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship 

Greeks used eirene as a salutation or a parting wish, “Peace to you”. Hebrews used shalom, “Safety, peace, health, happiness, prosperity, friendship to you”. King James’ translators used the transliteration “salem” in place of the Hebrew Aramaic “shalom”. Let’s see how peace appears in the New Blood Covenant. 

Almost Greek: (Words in italics are translator’s additions.) 

1^st Thessalonians 5.23: May the Theos of eirenes Himself make you absolutely, perfectly hagios, perfectly sound in your pneuma [breath, spirit] and that your psuche [soul. life, psyche, ego] and your soma [body] may be faultlessly kept in the return of our Kurios Jesus the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ]. He calling you is worthy of your pistis [reliance upon, faith in] Who also will do the fulfilling of your call. 

2^nd Thessalonians 3.16: May the Kurios of eirenes, Himself, continually give you eirenen in every way. The Kurios be with you all. 

Galatians 5.16: Now, I say, walk in the Hagios Pneuma and you won’t at all fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh longs for putting down the Hagios Pneuma but the Hagios Pneuma longs to put down the flesh. But these are opposite to one another in order that you not do whatever is your natural inclination. Now, if you are led by the Hagios Pneuma, you aren’t under The Law. Now, the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: porneia [whoring, incest, non-marital sexual intercourse], impurity, licentiousness, idol-worship, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, hatred, thumos [passion, anger, indignation], intrigue, disunion, haireseis [factionalism, dissenting beliefs, heresy], corruption, phonoi [murders], intoxication, carousal, and similar things. I tell you now (what I previously told you), that those practicing such things won’t inherit the Kingdom of Theos. Now, the fruit of the Hagios Pneuma is agape, cheerfulness, eirene, forbearance, kindness, goodness, pistis, gentleness and self-control. Truly, down to [against] these isn’t a law. Now, those of the Christou have crucified the lusts of the flesh with its passions. 

Galatians 6.12: Those who want to look good (only in the flesh) compel you to be circumcised in order that they won’t be pursued [persecuted] for the cross of the Christou. For not even those being circumcised themselves keep The Law; conversely, they want you to be circumcised in order that they may boast in your flesh. But may it not be caused to be that I boast, except in the cross of our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou, via Whom the kosmos [universe, world, cosmos] has been crucified to me and I to the kosmos. For in Jesus, the Christo, neither circumcision has any strength nor with-foreskin; conversely, a new creation has the power and to as many as shall march by this kanon [rule, standard, canon], eirene and eleos [compassion, pity, mercy] be upon them and upon the Israel of Theos. 

2^nd Corinthians 13.11: Finally, brothers, rejoice! Thoroughly complete [perfect] yourselves. Parakaleisthe [Urge, Exort, Encourage, Console] yourselves! Be of one mind! Eireneuete [Be at peace] and the Theos of agapes [unconditional love] and of eirenes [peace] will be with you. Hug one another in a hagio kiss. All the hagioi [holy, sacred, consecrated ones; saints] here hug you. 

Romans 2.6: …Theos, Who will give to each one down [according] to his work. 

PSALM 62.12: [about the Adonay] “... for You complete [perfect] a man according to his action [work].”

 

PROVERB 24.12: “... and He returns to a man according to his act [work].” 

[Romans continues] Theos will give to those (in fact) by cheerful endurance in good work (seeking glory, timen [value, esteem] and incorruptibility [immortality]) eternal life but to those emergent from intrigue (even {in fact} willfully disbelieving the truth but approving injustice), He gives thumos [passion, anger, indignation] and orge [violent passion, fury, rage, wrath]. There will be stress and calamity for every psuche of man working totally kakon [the worthless], (firstly for the Jew and also for the Greek) but glory, time [value, esteem] and eirene for everyone working good (firstly for the Jew and also for the Greek) for there isn’t partiality with Theos. 

Romans 5: Then dikaiothentes [having been rendered just] emergent from pisteos, we eirenen [have peace] with Theos via our Kuriou Jesus, the Christou, via whom we also have had admission (by pistei) into His charin [graciousness] in which we stand and over which we exult, the elpidi [expectation, hope] of the glory of Theos. Now, not only this {conversely}, we [I] also exult in stress, knowing that stress works completion of cheerful endurance and cheerful endurance works completion of trustiness and trustiness works completion of elpida. And elpis doesn’t shame down for the agape of Theos has been poured forth in our hearts via the Hagios Pneuma Who was given to us.

 

Romans 8.6: For the mental inclination [mind set] of the flesh is death, whereas the inclination of the Hagios Pneuma is life and eirene.

 

Romans 10.15: How shall they keruxousin [herald, proclaim] the Kingdom of God unless they are sent out? Just as it has been gegraptai [written in the Old Testament],

“How timely are the feet of those euaggelizouenon [announcing good news, evangelizing] of eirenen; of those euaggelizouenon of good things!”

 

ISAIAH 52.7: [YHWH speaking] “How at home on the mountain of God are the feet of him basar [euaggelizo] shalom, basar of good things; making deliverance understood, saying to Zion, ‘Your Elohiym reigns!’”

 

ISAIAH 53.5: But He [Jesus] was pierced for our pesha [rebellion], crumbled [crushed] for our avown [perversity]. The muwcar [chastisement] of our shalom was upon Him and with His chaburah [weals, welts, as from whiplash], we are raphah [mended, cured, healed]. We all ourselves, like migratory herds taah [have vacillated, reeled, gone astray]. Each man has turned to his derek [way, road trodden] and YHWH has made paga [impinge] upon Him the pesha of us all. He was nagas [driven as an animal, harassed] and He was browbeaten but He not opened His mouth. As a rachel [ewe] to slaughter, He yabal [was flowed, carried, brought, led forth] and as a rachel face-to-face with her shearers is alam [tongue-tied, dumb, silenced], He not opened His mouth. From otser [constraint, confinement] and from mishpat [the verdict, the sentence] He was taken and who shall siyach [ponder, consider] His dor [era, generation]? For He was cut off from the land of the alive [living] from [because of] the pesha of my [Isaiah’s] people; the blow struck Him. And He was given [put] with the morally wrong and His sepulcher with a rich man in His death, although He hadn’t done violence nor was deceit found in His mouth. But YHWH was pleased to crumble [crush] Him; to rub [wear out, sicken] Him. When You [YHWH] and He shall put [make] a guilt offering of His nephesh [psuche], He shall see His spiritual zera [sperma(i): descendant(s), seed, sperm {Hebrew doesn’t have plural nouns}]. He shall prolong His days and the pleasure of YHWH in His hand [power, means] shall push forth [prosper]. He shall see the fruit of the amal [wearing effort, stress] of His nephesh and be satisfied. Through knowledge of Himself My [YHWH’s] tsaddiyq [just, righteous] Servant shall make tsadaq [to be just, to be righteous] abundant [very, very many] and their avown He shall cabal [carry, bear]. Therefore, I [YHWH] will apportion to Him with the abundantly wealthy and with the powerful. He shall apportion the spoils [booty] because He emptied out His nephesh into death and was numbered with the pasha [those who break away, rebels] and He bore the chet [penalty] of abundant [very, very many] and for the pasha [rebellion], paga [was impinged upon].

 

Philippians 4.4: Always rejoice in the Kurio! Again, I will say, rejoice! Let your propriety [decorum] be known to all men. The Kurios is near. Not be anxious about even one thing! Conversely, in everything (by proseuche [humbly begging of God, prayer] and deesei [petitions, requests, prayers] amid eucharistias [gratefully giving thanks] to Him), let your requests be made known to Theos. Also, the eirenen of Theos which surpasses all intellect [understanding] will be the vanguard [scout, guide] of your hearts and your minds in Jesus the Christo.

 

Hebrews 7: For this Melchizadek, King of Shalom [“Salem” is the transliteration from Hebrew Aramaic to English by King James’ translators], Priest of the Most High Theos, is the One meeting Abraham on his returning from the slaughter of the kings and eulogesas [commended, blessed] him; to Whom indeed Abraham divided a tenth from everything; firstly, being hermeneumenos [translated, interpreted] King of Dikaiosunes [Equity, Justice, Rightness]; then also King of Shalom, which is King of Eirene. Historically He is without father, without mother, without genealogetos [genealogy] nor beginning of days nor having end of life but having been made as the Son of Theos, remains a Priest in perpetuity.

 

Ephesians 2.13: But now in Jesus the Christo, you (those then being afar off) were caused to be near, via the blood of the Christou. For He is our eirene; the One making both “with foreskin” and “circumcised” one and having broken down the middle wall of partition in the Temple. He has broken (in His flesh) the enmity, has abolished The Law of the commands in decrees, in order that He recreate the two (in Himself) into one new man. Thus, He is making eirenen. And in order that He might reconcile both in one somati (to Theos), He was slaying the enmity in Himself, via the stake. And coming, He eueggelisato [announced the good news of] eirenen to you (those being afar off) and to the [those] being near. 

ISAIAH 57.19: “Shalom! shalom! to the far off and to the near,” says YHWH, “and I will heal him.”

Lesson 109 Amplified -- PITY

 OIKTIRMOS

American: pity

SPLEN

American: spleen, guts, bowels, pity, sympathy

SPLAGCHNIZOMAI

American: have yearning in the bowels, more intense than splen; have pity, feel sympathy 

SPLAGCHNIZOMAI

American: feel yearning in the bowels, more intense than splen; have pity, feel sympathy 

ESPLAGGUISTHE

American: have pity, feel sympathy 

Previously, we studied splen in Amplified Lesson 81.Here we focus upon having pity and feeling sympathy.    

Almost Greek: (Words in italics are translator’s additions.) 

2^nd Corinthians 1.3: Adored be the Theos and Father of our Kuriou Jesus the Christou [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ], the Father of oiktirmon [pity] and the Theos of all parakleseos [invitation, imploration, urging, exhortation, encouragement, consolation]; the One parakalon [calling near, inviting, urging, exhorting, encouraging, consoling] us [me] over all our [my] stress for us [me] to be able to parakalein those in every kind of stress via the parakleseos of which we ourselves [I myself] parakaloumetha [are consoled] by Theos. 

Romans 9.14: What shall we say then, injustice isn’t with Theos is it? Not let it be caused to be for He says to Moses, “I eleeso [will have compassion, pity, mercy upon] whomever I eleo [have compassion pity, mercy upon]. I oikteireso [will pity] whomever I oikteiro.”

 

EXODUS 33.19: [YHWH] “... I will stoop to favor whom I will favor, and I will have compassion upon whom I will have compassion.” 

Romans 12: Accordingly, Brothers, I encourage you via the oiktirmon of Theos to present your somata [bodies] a living and hagian sacrifice (fully acceptable to Theos) which is your reasonable service of worship. 

Colossians 3.12: Accordingly, dress yourself in the manner of the chosen of Theos: hagioi [holies, saints] and egapemenoi [unconditionally loving], splen of oiktirmon, chrestoteta [usefulness], humility, gentleness, forbearance; enduring one another and forgiving yourselves. 

Philippians 2: Accordingly, if there is any paraklesis in the Christo, if any paramuthion [consolation] of agapes, if any koinonia [sharing, partnership] of the Hagios Pneuma, if any splen and splagchna, make my joy complete in order that you think the same [are of one mind]: having the same agapen, sumpsuchoi [one in psuche], one in thinking [opinion]. 

Luke 10.33: But a certain Samaritan came down to him and seeing him, he esplaggisthe [was filled with pity]. And approaching, he bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine upon them. 

Hebrews 10.26: For if we are voluntarily [willfully] hamartanonton [keep missing the mark or goal; keep erring, keep offending, keep sinning], after receiving the full knowledge of the truth, no more thusia [sacrifice] concerning hamartion remains but some awful edoche [expectation] of kriseos [accusation, condemnation, judgment] and hot fire being about to consume the adversaries. Anyone, disregarding the Law of Moses, dies without oiktirmon [pity] upon the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment (think you?) will he be thought worthy to receive, having trampled the Son of Theos and having deemed common the blood of the covenant by which he hegiasthe [was made holy, sanctified] and having insulted the Hagios Pneuma of charitos [graciousness]? For we know the One having said, “Vengeance is to Me. I will repay,” says the Kurios and again, “The Kurios krinei [will distinguish, will decide, will judge, will put on trial] His people.”Anyone disregarding the Law of Moses dies without oiktirmon, upon the testimony of two or three witnesses. 

Mark 8: In those days, the throng being immense and not having anything they might eat (summoning His mathetas [learners, pupils, disciples]) He says to them,

“I splagchnizomai [have yearning in the bowels, et cetera] on the throng because even now they remain with Me three days and haven’t anything they might eat.

 

Mark 9.23: And they brought him to Him. And seeing Him, the pneuma convulsed him. And falling upon the ground, he rolled about, frothing at the mouth. And He asked his father,

“How long a time is it that this has been caused to be to him?” Now he said, “From infancy and many times, it threw him both into fire and into water in order that it might fully destroy him. Otherwise, if You can do anything (splagchnistheis [have yearning in the bowels, et cetera] upon us) help us.”

 

Matthew 9.35: And Jesus took a walk all around the towns and the hamlets, teaching in their synagogues and kerusson [proclaiming, heralding] the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of the Kingdom and healing every malady and every weakness in the people. Now seeing the throngs, He splagchisthe concerning them because they were tired and were scattered just as sheep not having a shepherd.

 

Matthew 18.25: The same not having enough to repay, his kurios [lord, master] ordered him and his gunaika [woman, wife] and his children and all (as much as he had) sold and the funds used to repay him. Accordingly (falling down), the slave kissed his hand, saying, ‘Kurie! be patient over me and I will repay all to you.’ Now (splagchnistheis), the kurios of that slave fully freed him and sent forth the debt.

In Amplified Lesson 32, we studied paraklesis from its other aspect; imploration, urging, exhortation. Here we consider only the “comforting” aspect of this Koine Greek word.

1^st Thessalonians 2: For you yourselves know our entrance to you, brothers, that it hasn’t been empty. Even though having undergone hardship before in Philippi, Macedonia as you know, we were bold in our Theos to speak to you the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel] of Theos in much anguish. For our paraklesis wasn’t of error nor of impurity nor deceit but as we have been approved by Theos to be entrusted with the euaggelion, so we speak; not as pleasing men but Theos, the One testing our hearts. For neither were we then in logos of flattery (as you know) not with motive of avarice (Theos is Witness) nor seeking glory from men (neither from you nor from others) being able to be burdened as apostoloi [delegates, ambassadors, apostles] of the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ]. We were gentle in your midst as a nurse brooding her own children. Longing for you so and having such warm feelings for you, I shared with you not only the euaggelion of Theos but also my own psuche [soul, life, psyche, ego] because you have been caused to be agapetoi [unconditionally loved] to me. For you remembered my labor pains, brothers, working night and day not to put a burden on anyone of you, I ekeruxamen [proclaimed, heralded] to you the euaggelion of Theos. You and Theos are witnesses as to how pious, dikaios [equitable, just, right] and faultless I was to those pisteuousin [relying upon, having faith in], even as you know how I parakalountes [called near, invited, urged, exhorted, encouraged] you and paramuthoumenoi and testified to each of one you (as a father to his own children) that you walk appropriately to Theos, the One calling you into His kingdom and glory. 

1^st Thessalonians 4.13: I don’t want you to be ignorant with respect to those sleeping [having passed on], lest you grieve as also the rest do, not having elpis [expectation, hope]. For if we pisteuo that Jesus died and stood up again, so Theos will also bring with Him [Jesus] those who have been put to sleep via Jesus. For this we say to you (in a logos of the Kurios), that we (remaining living until the coming of the Kurios) not (in no way) may go ahead of those having been put to sleep because the Kurios Himself will descend from the ouranos [the sky, the heavens] in a rallying cry in the phone [sound, tone, noise, voice] of an archaggelos [chief messenger, chief angel] and with a trumpet of Theos. And first the dead in the Christos will stand up again, then the living will be caught up together with them (in the cloudiness) to a meeting of the Kurios in the air. And so, we will always be with the Kurios. So also parakaleite one another with these logoi. 

1^st Corinthians 14: Pursue agapen! Crave the spiritual and even more, (in order) that you may propheteuete [speak under inspiration, prophesy]. For he, speaking in a glosse [tongue, language], not speaks to men; conversely, to Theos. For no man spiritually hears but he speaks musterion [secrets, mysteries]. But the one propheteuon speaks to men, for building up, paraklesin and paramuthian.

 

2^nd Corinthians 1.3: Adored be the Theos and Father of our Kuriou Jesus the Christou, the Father of oiktirmon [pity] and the Theos of all parakleseos; the One parakalon us [me] (over all our [my] stress) for us [me] to be able to parakalein those in every kind of stress via the parakleseos of which we ourselves are [I myself am] parakaloumetha by Theos. Just as He causes the sufferings of the Christou to super-abound in us [me], so via the Christou our [my] paraklesis super-abounds. Now if we are [I am] stressed, it’s for your parakleseos and soterias [rescue, safety, salvation], being effective in the cheerful enduring of the same sufferings which we [I] also suffer; and our [my] elpis is firm for you, knowing that as you are koinonoi [sharers, partners] of the suffering, so also koinonoi of the parakleseos. For I want you not to be ignorant, Brothers, as to our [my] stress having happened to us [me] in Asia Minor. For we were [I was] excessively weighed down (beyond my dunamin [force, power] to bear up) as to put us [me] utterly at a loss even how to live [survive]. Conversely, we [I myself] have the sentence of death in myself in order that we [I] shouldn't convince [rely upon] ourselves [myself]; conversely, to rely upon Theos (the One awakening the dead) Who rescued us [me] emergent from so great a death as this (and still does [continues to] rescue me) and in Whom we [I] elpikamen [have expectation, have hope] that (even yet) He will rescue me; you also co-working with us [me] in deesie [petition, request, prayer] in order that (emergent from many faces) eucharistethe [thanks to Theos] may be expressed via many for us [me] for our [my] charisma [gift, endowment, faculty; deliverance] from the Father.

 

2^nd Corinthians 7.5: For even when I came into Macedonia, our [my] flesh hadn’t rest; conversely, we were [I was] crowded [distressed] in every way; externally battles, internally fears. Conversely, Theos, the One parakalon the depressed, parekalesen us [me] by the return of Titus, and not only by his return; conversely, the paraklesei with which he was pareklethe over your telling us of your longing for, your mourning for, your zelon [heat, zeal, ardor] for me, causes me to be more joyful.

 

Colossians 4.10: Aristarchus [“Best Ruler”], my co-prisoner, hugs you. As to Bar Nabas’ cousin, John Mark, over whom you received commands [instructions], receive him if he comes to you and receive Jesus (the one called Justus). These are the only co-laborers for the Kingdom of Theos (who are from the circumcised) who were caused to be paregoria.

 

Philippians 2: Accordingly, if there is any paraklesis in the Christo, if any paramuthion of agapes, if any koinonia of the Hagios Pneuma, if any splen [spleen, guts, bowels, sympathy] and splagchna [more intense splen, pity]; make my joy complete in order that you think the same [are of one mind]; having the same agapen, sumpsuchoi [one in psuche], one in thinking [opinion]. Not do even one thing down to intrigue, nor empty glorying; conversely, in humility consider one another superior to yourselves, not each seeing to his own interests but also each the other’s. For think in yourselves [have this attitude] which also is in Jesus the Christo, Who, coming into being in the shape [form] of Theos, not regarded equality with Theos to be plundered [seized] but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave (being caused to be in resemblance of men). In figure, being found (in that manner) a man, He humbled Himself being caused to be submissive even so far as death (even the death of the stake). Therefore, Theos also raised Him to the highest position and gave to Him a name [authority] above every name, in order that in the name of Jesus everyone should bow (heavenly, earthly and katachthonion [subterranean, underworld or Hades]) and every glossa [tongue] should acknowledge that Jesus the Christos is Kurios to the glory of Theos the Father.

 

Luke 16.19: “Now, there was a certain man who was wealthy and was clothed with purple and white linen, having brilliantly celebrated down to day by day. Now, there was some pauper named Lazarus, who had been tossed toward his doorway, being ulcerous and longing to be fed off the crumbs falling from the table of the wealthy one. Instead, even the dogs (coming by) licked his sores. Now, it was caused to be that the pauper died and he was borne away (by the aggelon [messengers, angels] ) into the bosom of Abraham. Now, also the wealthy one died and was interred. And being in torture in Haides [Unseen, subterranean world of the dead, Hades], raising up his eyes, he sees (from afar) Abraham and Lazarus in his bosom. And he phonesas [shouting said], ‘Father Abraham! have compassion upon me and dispatch Lazarus in order that he may bapse [dip] the tip of his finger in water and may cool down my tongue because I am grieving in this flame. Now, Abraham said, ‘Child! bear in mind that you fully received your good in your life and Lazarus similarly received the kaka [worthless] but now he is parakaleitai [comforted] but you are grieving. And above all these issues, between us and you a mega chasm has been set so that those thelontes [determining, choosing, deciding] to cross from here towards you aren’t able, lest those from there might cross over towards us.’"

Lesson 107 Amplified -- ELEEO

 ELEEO

American: to have compassion upon, to have pity upon, to show mercy to 

ELEOS

American: compassion, pity, mercy 

We all know that Father God loves us unconditionally. But what about how He feels concerning us; individually? The New Blood Covenant gives us a peep into His feelings for us.

1^st Corinthians 7.25: Now, about virgins I haven’t command of the Kuriou but I give an opinion as one eleemenos [having had compassion, having had pity, having had mercy] (through the Kuriou) to be pistos [faithful]. Then I think that this is kalon [beautiful, virtuous] via the present constraint [distress] that it is kalon for a man to be as he is. Have you been bound to a gunaika [woman, wife]? Don’t seek to be loosed! Have you been loosed from a gunaikos? Do not seek a gunaika! But if indeed you marry, you not hemartes [miss the mark or goal; err, offend, sin]. If a virgin marries, he not hemarte. Yet such will have stress in the flesh, but I am trying to spare you this. But I say, brothers, that the time has been shortened in order that from now on, even those having gunaikas are as not having; those weeping as not weeping; those rejoicing as not rejoicing; those buying as not possessing and those using this kosmo [universe, world, cosmos] as not overusing it. For the mode [fashion] of this kosmou is passing away but I thelo [determine, choose, decide decree] you to be carefree. The unmarried cares for the things of the Kuriou (how to please the Kurio) but he having married cares for the things of the kosmou (how to please his gunaika). The gune and the virgin are different. The unmarried gune cares for the things of the Kuriou (in order that she be pure both in somati [body] and in pneumatic [breath, spirit]) but the married cares for the things of the kosmou (how she may please her man). This I say for your own benefit, not to put a noose [leash] on you; conversely, to promote the seemly and the waiting on the Kurio without distraction. 

Luke 1.46: Mary said,“My psuche [soul, life, psyche, ego] megaluno [makes or declares great] the Kurion and my pneuma [breath, spirit] jumps for joy over Theos my Soteri [Deliverer, Savior] because He gazed with favor upon the low estate of His slave. For LO! from now on all the generations me makariouai [will call supremely blest] for the Mighty One magnificently did to me and Hagiou is His name, and His eleos is to generations of generations of those fearing Him.”

“He mightily did in [with] His arm. He dispersed the haughty in the deep thoughts of their hearts. He pulled down rulers off their thrones and elevated those of low estate. He filled up the hungry of [with] good food and sent the wealthy away empty.”

“He autelabeto [succored, helped, relieved] His servant Israel to bear eleous in mind, just as He spoke to our forefathers; to Abraham and to his spermati [descendants] to the age.” 

Luke1.57: Now, Elizabeth was fulfilled the period of time for her to give birth and she delivered a son. And her neighbors and also her relatives, megaluno [declared mega] the Kurios and His eleos amidst her and they rejoiced with her. 

James 2.12: So, speak and so do as being about to be krinesthai [distinguished, judged, put on trial] via a law of liberty. For the one not doing [showing] eleos, the krisis [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] will be auileos [merciless] but eleos exults over kriseos. 

Ephesians 2: You being dead in the paraptomasi [side-slips, lapses, deviations] and in the hamartiais [misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses, sins] in which you then walked, down to the age [course] of this kosmou; down to the ruler of the authority of the air; the pneumatos [spirit] now working in the sons of disobedience in whom we all, then [formerly] also conducted ourselves in the lusts of the flesh, doing things thelemata [determinations, decisions, choices, decrees] of the flesh and of the mind and were by nature children of orges [violent passion, fury, rage, wrath] even as the rest. But Theos being rich in eleei because of His much agapen [unconditional love] with which He egapesen us (we being dead in paraptomasi), He made us as alive with the Christo [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ]. (By charity [graciousness], you sesosmenoi [are being rescued, are being saved].) And He awakened us with and seated us with, Jesus, the Christo (above the sky [in Heaven]), in order that He might show (in the ages coming on) the surpassing riches of His charitos in chretoteti [kindness] toward us in Jesus, the Christo [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ]. For you sesosmenoi [are made safe, are saved] by charis [graciousness] via pisteos [reliance upon, faith in] Jesus and this isn’t of yourselves, it is the gift of Theos, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His doing, created in Jesus, the Christo, unto good works which Theos prepared beforehand in order that we should walk in them. 

2^nd Timothy: Paul, an apostolos [delegate, ambassador, apostle] of Jesus, the Christou down to the thelematos [determination, choice, decision, decree] of Theos by way of an epaggelian [announcement, proclamation, promise] of life in Jesus, the Christo, to Timotheo [“Honoring God”] agapeto [unconditionally beloved] child.Charis, eleos, peace from Theos our Father and from our Kuriou, Jesus, the Christou. 

Mark 10.46: And they come into Jericho [“Place of Fragrance”], Judea. And He and the matheton [learners, pupils, disciples] and a sizeable throng departing from Jericho, the blind son of Timaeus (bar Timaeus) sat down near the road soliciting alms. And having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began kraxein [to caw as a raven, to shriek, to scream, to cry out] and to say, “Jesus! Son of David! eleeson [have compassion upon, have pity upon, show mercy to] me!” And many admonished him in order that he be silent but he much more ekrazen, “Son of David! eleeson to me!” And standing [stopping], Jesus said for him phonethenai [to be called to] Him. And they phonousi [called] the blind one, saying to him, “Have courage! Arise! He phonei [calls for] you.” Now, throwing off his outer garment, standing up, he came to Jesus. And beginning to speak, Jesus says to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind one said to Him, “Rabbi! I ask in order that I may recover my sight.” Now, Jesus says to him, “Go! your pistis sesoke [has made safe, has saved] you.” And he directly recovered his sight and accompanied Jesus on the road.
