Lesson 52 Amplified – BIBLION

 

BIBLION

American lower case: a roll, a scroll, a writing, a book

American upper case: Bible

Hebrew Aramaic singular: Megillach, cepher, ciprah 

Since we are researching the Kingdom of God, we will restrict our search to Biblion or Bible (the holy scriptures). 

Almost Greek [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Luke 4.16: And He came into Nazareth, Galilee where He had been reared. And down to His habit in the day of the Sabbath, He entered into the synagogue and stood up to read. And the Biblion [book of the Bible] of the prophetou Isaiah was handed to Him. And having unrolled the Biblion, He found the place where it was written, “The Pneuma of the Kuriou is upon Me; wherefore, He anointed Me euaggelizesthai [to announce good news to, to evangelize] the paupers. He has set Me apart to cure the broken hearted; keruchia [to proclaim, to herald] freedom to the prisoners and restoration of sight to the blind; to send forth the crushed in aphesei [freedom, deliverance]; keruchia a year approved of the Kuriou.” 

ISAIAH 61.1 “The Ruwach [Pneuma] of the Adonay [Lord, Master] YHWH is upon Me for YHWH has anointed Me to call out good news to the depressed. He has sent Me to bandage the burst heart; to call out freedom to those transported into captivity and the opening of confinement to the yoked; to call out a year of delight of YHWH and a day of revenge of our Elohiym [Triune God]; to sigh over [comfort] the whole of the mourners, to put [grant] consolation and joy to the mourners of [in] Zion; to give them embellishment instead of the depths of ashes; the oil of joy instead of the depths of mourning; the vestment of praise instead of the depths of the ruwach [pneuma] of feebleness and all of this such that one calls out to them: ‘Strong of rightness, plants of YHWH,’ to make Him gleam.” 

[Continuing Luke]: Furling the Biblion and giving it back to the servant, He sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were intently gazing upon Him. Now, He began to speak to them, “On this day this Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament] has been fulfilled in your ears.”

Acts 7.38: “This Moses is the one having been in the ekklesia [assembly, church] (in the wasteland) with the Aggelos, speaking to the Same in Mount Sinai [Jabal al-Lawz, or Gebel el-Lawz, in Saudi Arabia] and to our forefathers (who received living Logia [Words] to give to us) to whom our forefathers didn’t want to be attentively listening. Conversely, they pushed away and twisted [turned back] their hearts to Egypt, saying to Aaron, ‘Make a theous [god] for us which shall precede [guide us] for this Moses, who led us forth from the land of Egypt, we not know what has been caused to be of him.’ And in those days, they made a statue of a calf and led up a sacrifice to the idol and rejoiced in the works of their hands. But Theos turned away and surrendered them to serving the likeness of military encampments of the ouranou [sky, heavens: constellations]. As it has been written in the Biblio of The Prophetoni [The Prophets], ‘Victims and sacrifices you not brought to Me (for forty years in the wasteland) O house of Israel. Also, you took up from Egypt the tent of Moloch [in Greek; “Molek” in Hebrew; “An Idol” in American] and the constellation of your theou, Remphan [incorrect Greek transliteration of Kijun, an Egyptian idol]; the die-made [cast] statues which you plunged [poured] to proskunein [worship, as a dog licks his master’s hand] them and I will exile you to the other side of Babylon.’” 

AMOS 5.26 [YHWH speaking] “Did you bring near to Me slaughter and portion [tithing] (driving for forty years in the desert) O house of Israel? Yes, you lifted [bore] the booth of your king and Kijun; your images; the stars of your elohiym [gods] which you made for yourselves. Therefore, I metoikio [will move as settlers or captives; will exile] you to the distance of Damascus, Syria,” says YHWH. The Elohiym of Shamayin [Ouranos: Heaven] is His name. 

Hebrews 9.11 But the Christos [Mashiyach] having appeared, as high priest of the coming good via the greater and more perfect tabernacle (not made with hands; that isn’t of this creation) nor via the blood of goats and of calves but via His own blood, entered once for everyone into the “Hagia of Hagion”, having found eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and ashes of a heifer, sprinkling those having been polluted, agiazei [makes holy] to the cleanness of the flesh, by how much more does the blood of the Christou, Who via the Eternal Hagios Pneuma offered Himself without spot to Theos will cleanse your conscience from dead works for serving the Theos of the living. Because of this, He is a Mediator of a New Blood Covenant. So, as death having occurred for the ransom in full for violations under the first blood covenant, those being called may receive the epaggelian [announcement, proclamation, promise] of the eternal inheritance. For where a will exists, the death of the testator is needful to be offered. For a will of those dead is firm but it not ischuei [has force] when the testator is living. Not even the first will and testament was dedicated without blood for every command being spoken by Moses to all the people down to Law, taking the blood of calves and of goats (with water and red wool and hyssop), he sprinkled both the Biblion [Pentateuch: first five books of the Old Testament] and the people, saying, “This is the blood of the covenant which Theos commanded to you.” 

EXODUS 24.8 Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said, “LO! the blood of the covenant which YHWH has cut with you as to all these dabar [logoi].”

 

Hebrews 10: For having The Law is having a shadow of the coming good; not itself the eikona [image, likeness, statue, icon] of those things. Not even one of them [the priests] is able to perfect those drawing near with the same thusia [animal sacrifice] which they continually offer down to year by year, otherwise, wouldn’t they have ceased being offered because those serving not still having conscience [consciousness] of hamartion [missing the mark or goal; erring, offending, sinning], having once been cleansed? But in them is a remembrance of hamartian, down to year by year. It is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away hamartias. For this reason, He [Jesus] says, “Thusia and prosphoran [a presentation, a present, a gift] You not desired but You prepared a human body for Me. You weren’t pleased with whole-consumed [burnt offerings] and thusia as to hamartias. Then I said, ‘LO! I come’ (It has been written about Me In the heading of the Bibliou), ‘Theos, to do Your thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree].’” 

PSALM 40.6 “Zebach [thusia] and minchah [apportionment] You didn’t desire. You have opened ears to Me. Zebach and chataah [offering for sin] You haven’t requested. Then I said, ‘LO! I come,’ (In the Megillach, it is written of Me.) “I delight to do Your delight, My Elohiym.’”

Lesson 51 Amplified – APHIEMI

 

APHIEMI

American: send forth, forsake, forgive 

In today’s America, one of the most devastating and sometimes elusive emotional problems is guilt. Christians have been instructed to forgive, lest they be burdened with the weight of unforgiveness. Once we discover, in our psuche, a nodule of guilt we can exercise the wonderful graciousness of forgiveness by merely asking Theos to forgive us, claiming Jesus’s suffering and death for all our hamartiai. Moving forward from there, we must be on guard against the hurtful one bringing the guilt back into our consciousness. 

Almost Greek [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Romans 4.7: “Makarioi [supremely blessed] are those whose lawlessness aphethesan [is sent forth, is forsaken, is forgiven] and whose hamartiai [misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses, sins] are concealed. Makarios is the man to whom the Kurios not (in no way) will charge [count as] hamartian.” 

PSALM 32.16 A contemplation of David: “How happy is he whose rebellion is lifted up [aphiemi]; whose offense is smoothed over.” 

Luke 5.22: Now, Jesus being fully acquainted with their discussion [reasonings], beginning to speak, said to them, “Why do you reckon in your hearts? What is easier: to say, ‘Your hamartiai apheontai [have been forgiven],’ or to say, ‘Wake up [rouse yourself] and walk all around?’ But this is done in order that you may know that the Son of Man exousian [has the ability, has the privilege, has the authority], upon the earth, aphienai hamartias.” 

Luke 11.42 “Conversely, woe [grief] to you, Pharisees because you tithe the mint and the rue and every plant and pass by [miss] the krisin [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] and you miss the agapen of Theos. These you must do and likewise, those not aphiemai [send forth, forsake]. Woe to you Pharisees because you agapate the chief seat in the synagogue and the greetings in the marketplace! Woe to you Pharisee grammateis [writers, recorders, scribes, secretaries], hupokritai [deceivers, hypocrites]! because you are as the hidden tombs and the men are walking all around over them, not knowing they are there.” 

Luke 17.3: [Jesus speaking] Now, if your brother hamarte to you, admonish him and if he metanonse [thinks differently, turns about 180 degrees, repents], aphes him. And if he hamarte seven times of the [in a] day to you and seven times of the day reverts upon you saying, ‘I metanoo,’ you apheseis [shall send forth, shall forsake, shall forgive] him.” 

James 5.14: Is any infirm in you? Let him summon the elders of the ekklesias [assembly, church] and let them proseuxasthosan [humbly beg God, pray] over him (having first anointed him with olive oil) in the name [authority] of the Kuriou. The euche [wish; implies prayer] of pisteos [faith] sosei [will make safe, will save] those kamnonta [toiling; as if fatigued by toil, i.e., suffering] and the Kurios will waken him and if he might have done hamartias, it aphethesetai [will be sent forth, will be forsaken, will be forgiven] him. 

Mark 11.22: And beginning to speak, Jesus says to them, “Have pistin in Theos for Amen! I say to you that whoever says to this hill, ‘Be raised up and be thrown into the sea,’ and not doubts in his heart, conversely, pisteust [has faith], that which he says will be caused to be. The same will be, whatever he says. Via this I say to you, everything, whatever you ask proseuchomenoi to Theos, pisteuete that you receive it, and it will be given to you. And when you stand proseuchomenoi to Theos, aphiete if you have anything down to anyone in order that also your Father in Ouranois [Heavens] may aphe you your slip-ups.” 

Matthew 6.7: But when proseuchomenoi, don’t stutter [use repetitions] as the ethnikoi [nations, races, non-Jews, Gentiles] for they think that in their much self-repetition, they will be heard. Don’t do as they do for your Father knows of what you have need before you ask Him. Accordingly, you must proseuchesthe in this way:

‘Our Father in the Ouranois [Heavens]! Let Your Name hagiastheto [be made holy God]. Let Your Kingdom come. Let Your thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] be caused to be as in Ourano, so also upon the earth. Give to us on the [this] day our needed bread and aphes us our debts in the way we also aphiemen our debtors. And not carry us into testing; conversely, rescue us from the ponerou [hurtful] one. Amen!’ For if you aphete their sideslips, your Heavenly Father also aphiesei [will forgive] you but if you not aphete their sideslips neither aphesei your Father your paraptomata [sideslips, lapses, deviations].” 

End of Fifty-first Lesson

Lesson 50 Amplified – AGGELOS

 

AGGELOS -- AGGELOI

American singular: messenger, angel; plural: messengers, angels 

Hebrew Aramaic: MALAK 

We have many fanciful images of Theos’ aggeloi. In Koine Greek the word merely means messenger. We Christians know, in addition, that these messengers can be armed and dangerous. 

Almost Greek [Words in italics are translator’s additions.] 

Galatians 3:19: Why then exists The Law? It was added because of the parabasis [going contrary to, violating], being instituted via aggeloi, resting in a go-between’s hand until the Sperma should come, upon Whom the epaggelian [announcement, proclamation, promise] epeggeltai [was announced, was proclaimed, was promised]. Now, the go-between [Moses] isn’t first but Theos is First. Is then The Law against the epaggelian of Theos? Let it not be caused to be! For if a law had been given that was able to make alive, indeed dikaiosune [equity, justification, rightness] would have been emergent from that law. Conversely, now the Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament] has subjected everyone under hamartian [missing the mark or goal, erring, offending, sinning] in order that the epagglia emergent from pistis [faith] might be given to those having pistis in Jesus, the Christou [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ]. 

1^st Corinthians 4.9: For I think that Theos sent us out (the apostolous) last (as doomed to death) because we were caused to be a theatron [spectacle, theater] to the kosmo [world, universe, cosmos], to aggeloi and to men. We are fools via the Christon, but you are wise in the Christo. 

Romans 8.37: Conversely, in these issues we overwhelmingly conquer via the One agapesas us. For I have been convinced that neither death nor life nor aggeloi nor commencement nor powers nor present forces nor impending forces nor height nor depth [profundity] nor any other creation will be able to separate us from the agapes of Theos in our Kurio Jesus, the Christo. 

Luke 1.26: Now in the sixth month, the aggelos Gabriel was sent forth (by Theos) into a city of Galilee (which is named Nazareth) to a maiden [virgin] having been engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, emergent from the house of David. And the name of the maiden was Mariam [in Greek; “Maryam” in Hebrew; “Mary” in American]. And entering to her, the aggelos said, “Cheers, to you, the one charitoo [receiving graciousness]! The Kurios is amidst you. Eulogemene [spoken well of, praised, blessed] are you in gunaichsin [women]!” And seeing that she was totally disturbed over his logo [word] and that she was thoroughly analyzing what possible sort of greeting this might be, the aggelos said to her, “Not fear, Maryam, for you have found charin [graciousness] from beside Theos and LO! you will conceive in your stomach [womb] and bear a son and you will call his name Jesus. The same will be megas [big, large, huge, great] and will be called the Son of the Highest. And the Kurios Theos will give to Him the throne of His forefather David and He will rule over the house of Jacob to the ages and there won’t be an end to His royalty.” And Mary said to the aggelos, “How will this be since I not know a man?” And beginning to speak, the aggelos said to her, “The Hagios Pneuma will come over you and the dunamis [force, power] of the Highest will overshadow you and consequently, that Being born emergent from you will be called the Hagion Son of Theos. And LO! your relative Elizabeth and in her senility, she has conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her (the one called sterile) because not will be called impossible any rhema [utterance] from beside Theos.” And Mary said, “LO! the slave of the Kuriou! May it be (caused to be) to me down to your rhema.” And the aggelos went off [away] from her.

Luke 7.24 Now, the aggelon [messengers] of John Bar Zekaryahuw going away, He began to speak toward the throngs concerning John. “What did you go forth into the desolate area to scrutinize? a reed waving under the force of the wind? Conversely, what did you go forth into the desolate area to see? a man dressed in soft clothing? LO! those in glorious clothing and born in luxury are in palaces. Conversely, what did you go forth into the desolate area to see? a propheten [before teller, prophet]! Yes, indeed I say to you, also superabundantly more than a prophetou! This man is he concerning whom it has been written: ‘LO! I send forth My aggelon [messenger], before Your face, who will thoroughly prepare the road in front of You.’” 

MALACHI 3.1 “LO! I AM sending forth a malak [aggelos] and he will turn [plow] a road before Me. And suddenly shall come to His large place [temple, body] the Sovereign Whom you are seeking, even the Malak of the Blood Covenant in Whom you are pleased. LO! He comes!” says YHWH of the hordes of Heaven. 

Luke 12.6: Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria [Roman coins] and not one emergent from them is having been forgotten before the face of Theos. Conversely, even the hairs of your head have been counted. Accordingly, not be frightened for you are of greater worth than many flocks of sparrows. Now, I say to you, all (whoever) covenant in Me before men, also the son of Man will covenant in them before the aggelon of Theos. But the one rejecting Me before the face of men, will be utterly rejected before the face of the aggelon of Theos. And everyone who speaks a logon into [against] the Son of Man, it aphethesetai [will be sent forth, will be forsaken, will be forgiven] him but those blasphemesanti [speaking irreverently, profanely; blaspheming] into the Hagios Pneuma, not aphethesetai.

Lesson 49 Amplified -- SEMEION

 

SEMEION -- SEMEIA

American singular: sign, indication; plural: signs, indications

Hebrew Aramaic singular: owth 

Our Lord Jesus was constantly confronted by the Judaeans asking Him for a sign that would convince them that He was God. He never relented. 

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

2^nd Corinthians 12.11: I have been caused to be mindless, boasting. You compelled me for I ought to be commended by you. For in not even one way was I inferior to the highest apostolon [delegates, ambassadors, apostles], even though I am not even one thing [am nothing]. Indeed, the semeion of a true apostolou were fully worked out in you in all cheerful endurance through semeiois and prodigies [omens] and dunamesi [power works]. 

Luke 11.29: Now, the throngs assembling, He [Jesus] began to speak, “This generation is more wicked. It seeks a semeion and a semeion won’t be given to it, if not [except] the semeion of Jonah [“Dove”] the prophetou [before teller, prophet]. For just as Jonah was caused to be a semeion to the Ninevites, the Son of Man will also be the same to this generation. 

Luke 21.10 Then, He said to them, “Ethnos [nation, race, non-Jews, Gentiles]will rise up against ethnos and kingdom against kingdom; both megaloi [big, large, huge, great] earthquakes down to place [from place to place] and there will be famines and plagues; there will be both great terrors and great semeia from Ouranou [Heaven]. 

Acts 2.14: But Rock (standing with the eleven) raised up his phonen [sound, tone, noise, voice] and plainly enunciated [declared] to them, “Men! Jews! and all those inhabiting Jerusalem, let this be known to you and take into your ear [listen to] my rhemata [utterances]. For these men aren’t intoxicated as you assume for it is merely the third hour of the day [9 AM]. But this is that even being spoken via the prophetou Joel: ‘And it shall be in the final days,’ says Theos, ‘I will pour forth (from My Pneuma [Spirit]) upon all flesh and your sons and daughters propheteusousin [will before tell, will speak under inspiration, will prophesy] and your youths will stare wide-eyed at visions and your elders will dream dreams. And in those days (upon My male slaves and upon My female slaves), I will pour forth from My Pneuma and they also propheteusousi [will prophesy]. And I will give terata [wonders, miracles] in the ourano [sky, heavens] above and semeia upon the earth below; blood and fire and mist of smoke. The sunshine will be changed to shadowiness [an eclipse] and the moon into blood [an eclipse] prior to the coming of the megalen and notable Day of the Kuriou. And it shall be that all (whoever epikalesetai [calls out to, appeals to, invokes] the name [authority] of the Kuriou) sothesetai [will be rescued, will be saved].’” 

JOEL 2.28 “… afterward It will be, I will pour forth My Ruwach [Pneuma] upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will naba [prophetueo]. Your old will dream dreams. Your youths will see visions. And in those days (on both My male slaves and My female slaves), I will pour forth My Ruwach. I will give mopheth [terata] in the sky and on the earth, blood and fire and timarah [pillars, columns] of smoke. The sun will be turned over to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome Day of YHWH. For it will be that all who qara [epikalesetai: call out to, appeal to, invoke] the name of YHWH will malat [be smooth, slippery, escape] for in Mount Tsijon [Zion] and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance,” as YHWH has said, “and deliverance among the survivors to whom YHWH shall call out.” 

Acts 5.12: Now, semeia and terata were caused to be in many people via the hands of the apostolon and they were all homothumadon [unanimous, with one mind] in the Temple’s Porch of Solomon. Now, of the remaining ones, not even one dared to be joined to them, conversely, the people magnified [declared great] them. Now, more were added, throngs both of men and of gunaikon [women], pisteuontes [putting their faith in] the Kurio, such that they carried out the strengthless and placed them upon couches and upon mattresses down the wide plats [places] in order that (while he was coming [passing]) Rock’s shadow might overshadow some of those. 

Matthew12.38: Then is when some of the grammateis [writers, recorders, scribes, secretaries] and Pharisees answered, saying, “Teacher! we want to see a semeion from You.” But responding, He said to them, “A ponera [hurtful] and moichalis [adulterous] generation seeks a semeion and a semeion shan’t be given to it, except the semeion of the prophetou Jonah.

Lesson 48 Amplified – ANASTASIS

 

ANASTASIS

American: a standing up again, resurrection 

EXANASTASIS

American: arising from death, resurrection 

This is the goal of all who put their faith into Jesus, the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ] as their only door to everlasting life. 

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

1st Corinthians15.12: Now, if the Christos kerussetai [proclaimed, heralded] that He was awakened emergent from dead, how can some say in you [Sadducees] that an anastasis of the dead isn’t [doesn't happen]? But if anastasis of the dead isn’t, neither has the Christos been awakened.

 

1st Corinthians15.20: But now, the Christos has been awakened from dead. He was caused to be a beginning of sacrifice [the “first fruits”] of those having been put to sleep for since death is via a man [Adam] and via a Man [Jesus] anastasis of the dead. For as in Adam the whole human race dies, so also, in the Christo all will be made alive but each in his own order [turn]. First the beginning of the sacrifice (the Christos), then comes the telos [the point aimed at, the end of this age], when He surrenders the kingdom to Theos (also the Father); when He [Jesus] katargese [renders entirely idle; useless] all commencement [rank], all privilege [authority] and all dunamin [force, power]. It is right for Him to reign until He [Father] wishes to place all the hateful under His [Jesus’] feet. The last hateful one katargeitai [rendered entirely idle; useless] is Death for He [Father] subordinated all under His [Jesus’] feet.

 

1^st Corinthians 15.40: There are above-the-sky [heavenly] somata [bodies] and worldly somata but different indeed are the above-the-sky glory and the worldly glory. There is the glory of the sun and the different glory of the moon and the different glories of the stars. For star differs from star in glory. So also, is anastasis of the dead. The body is sown in decay; it is awakened in imperishability. It is sown in infamy; it is awakened in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is awakened in dunamei. It is sown a sensual soma; it is awakened a spiritual soma.

 

Luke 20.34: And answering, Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry, and daughters are given in marriage but those deemed entirely deserving of that age (to attain anastaseos emergent from dead) neither marry nor are given in marriage for they haven’t to die anymore for they are isaggeloi [like angels] and are sons of Theos; being sons of the anastaseos. 

Acts 2.30: David being then a prophetes [before teller, prophet] and knowing that with an oath sworn to him by Theos, that emergent from the fruit of his loins (down to his flesh), God was going to stand up the Christon to be seated upon His throne. David before seeing this, he spoke concerning the anastaseos of the Christou, that neither was His psuche left down into Haides [Unseen, subterranean world of the dead, Hades] nor did His flesh see decay. 

Matthew 22.29: Now responding, Jesus said to them, “You cause to go astray, not knowing the Graphas [Scriptures, Old Testament] nor the dunamin of Theos for in the anastasei neither do they marry nor are given in marriage; conversely, they are as the aggeloi [messengers, angels] in Ourano [Heaven]. But concerning the anastaseos of the dead, haven’t you read that spoken to you from Theos? saying, ‘I AM the Theos of Abraham and the Theos of Isaac and the Theos of Jacob.’ Theos isn’t Theos of the dead; conversely, of the living.” 

John 5.26: For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself. The Father has given the Son ezsusian [privilege, authority] to execute krisin [accusation, condemnation, judgment] because He is also a Son of man. Don't marvel at this for the time is coming when all those who are in their tombs shall hear His phones [sound, tone, noise, voice] and they will come out; those having done good to an anastasin of life; those having practiced psaula [foul, wicked] to an anastasin of kriseos and their sentence.” 

DANIEL 12.2: … many of those sleeping in the dust of the earth shall awake; some to eternal life and some to reproach and eternal loathing. 

Revelation 20.4: And I saw thrones and they that sat down upon them, and krima [deciding, rendering judgment, bringing a verdict] was given to them. And the psuchas [souls, lives, psyches, egos] of those having been beheaded via their testimony of Jesus and via the Logon [Word] of Theos and which same not prosekunesan [had worshiped, as a dog licks his master's hand] the beast nor its eikona [image, likeness, statue, icon] and hadn’t received the charagma [scratch, etching, tattoo, scar, mark; microchip?] upon their forehead and [nor] upon their hand and they lived and reigned amidst the Christou for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead [those in Hell?] didn't recover life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first anastasis. Supremely blest and hagios [holy, sacred, consecrated] is the one having a share in the first anastasis. Over these, the second death hasn't authority but, conversely, they will be priests of Theos and of the Christou and will reign amidst Him for a thousand years. 

End of Forty-eighth Lesson

Lesson 47 Amplified – EUCHARISTIA

 

EUCHARISTIA

American: gratefully giving thanks 

EUCHARISTEO

American: express gratitude, give thanks 

EUCHARISTOS

American: grateful, thankful 

There is only one appropriate state of mind for the resident of the Kingdom of God -- gratefulness. If we lose sight of the wondrous gift of Theos to us, we may develop negative attitudes. 

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

Romans 14.4: Who are you krinon [distinguishing, judging, putting on trial] another’s servant? To his own Kurio [Lord, Master], he stands or falls but he will stand for Theos is dunatos [forceful, powerful] enough to make him stand. Indeed, one krinei [judges] a day above another day; one krinei every day alike. Let each be completely convinced in his own nous [intellect, mind, understanding]; he observing the day, observes to the Kurio; he not observing, not observes to the Kurio. He eating meat, he eats to the Kurio; he eucharistei to Theos for the food. He not eating meat, not eats to the Kurio and eucharistei to Theos. 

Colossians 1.9: Via this [From the day we heard], we also don’t pause [stop] proseuchomenoi [humbly begging, praying] to Theos over you and asking that you be made replete [complete] in recognition of His thelematos [determination, choice, decision, decree] in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. And that you be made to walk appropriately of the Kuriou, compliant to all in every good work; that you are being fertile and growing into the recognition of Theos in all dunamei [force, power], being empowered [enabled] down [according] to the great vigor of His glory to all a hupomonen [cheerful endurance] and makrothumian [forbearing, patiently restraining]; that you amidst joy eucharistountes [are gratefully giving thanks] to the Father to qualify us to the portion of the lot [as in drawing by lot] of the hagion [holy ones, sacred ones, consecrated ones, saints] in the Light. He Who rescued us emergent from the authority of shadiness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son of His agapes. He in Whom we have redemption via His blood; the freedom of [from] hamartion [misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses, sins]. He Who is the eikon [image, likeness, statue, icon] of the invisible Theos, the firstborn of all creation because in Him all was created: the things in the ouranois [skys, heavens] and the things upon the earth; the seen [visible] and the invisible, 

Colossians 3.12: Accordingly, dress yourself in the manner of the chosen of Theos: hagioi and egapemenoi [unconditionally loved], splen [spleen, guts, bowels, sympathy] of pity, chrestoteta [usefulness], humility, gentleness, forbearance; enduring one another and forgiving yourselves. In case anyone (toward any) has a complaint, just as (in fact) the Christos forgave you, so also should you. Above all these things, put on agapen which is the perfect bond. Let the peace of Theos rule in your hearts (to which indeed you were called in one somati [body]) and be eucharistoi. Let the Logos [Word] of the Christou [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ] copiously dwell in you, teaching and nouthetountes [calling attention to, warning, cautioning, admonishing] yourselves in psalmois [psalms], humnos [hymns] and pneumatikais odais [spiritual songs] in your hearts in chariti [thankfullness] to the Kurio. Everything, whatever you do in logos or in work, do all in the name [authority] of the Kuriou Jesus. Eucharistountes via Him to our Theos and Father. 

Luke 22.14: And when the hour came, He reclined and the twelve mathetai [learners, pupils, disciples] reclined with Him. And He said to them, “With longing, I wanted to eat this Passover Meal amidst you before the time for Me to suffer for I say unto you that no longer (not in no way) will I eat emergent from it until (when) it is fulfilled in the Kingdom of Theos.” And receiving the cup [that was always set at the Passover Meal for the Messiah or Anointed One], euchariste [having expressed gratitude, having given thanks] to Theos, He said, “Take this and thoroughly divide it up among yourselves for I say to you that not (in no way) will I drink from the produce of the vine until (when) the Kingdom of Theos comes.” And receiving a loaf, euchariste to Theos, He broke it and gave to them, saying, “This is My soma [body] being given over you. Do this to My remembrance.” And in the same way the cup (amidst having dined), saying, “This cup is the New Covenant (in My blood) being poured out over you." 

Ephesians 4: Now, the Hagios Pneuma distinctly says that (in later times) some will desist from the pisteos [faith], paying attention to vagrant pneumasi [spirits] and teachings of demons. In pseudologon [lying] hupokrisei [deceit, hypocrisy], having their conscience cauterized, they are barring marriage and advocating abstaining from foods which Theos made to participation amidst eucharistias by those pistois [faithful] and recognizing the truth. For every creation of Theos is kalon [beautiful, virtuous] and not even one thing is to be cast off. Having been received amidst euchariston, it is hagiazetai [made holy] via the Logou of Theos and enteuxis [supplication, prayer].

1st Thessalonians 1.2: We [Paul] always eucharistoumen [gratefully give thanks] to Theos concerning you all, continually making mention of you in our proseuchon, remembering your work of pistis [faith, reliance], draining effort of agape [unconditional love] and the cheerful endurance of our Kurios Jesus, the Christos [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ], before our Theos and Father; knowing your election, brothers, you having been egapemenois [unconditionally loved] by Theos. 

1st Thessalonians 5.12: Brothers! We ask you eidenai [to know, to perceive] those laboring among you (presiding over you in the Kurios, admonishing you) and eleistha [to deem, to consider, to esteem] them most exceedingly in agape because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves! We parakaloumen [call near, invite, urge, exhort, encourage] you, brothers, noutheteite [to put in mind, to caution, to warn] the insubordinate, console the faint-hearted, care for the weak, be longsuffering toward all. See that NOT even one person returns kakon [worthless] for kakou [worthless] to anyone but always pursue the good both toward one another and toward all. Always rejoice! Continually proseuchesthe! Eucharisteite [Gratefully give thanks] in all for this is the thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] of Theos (in Jesus, the Christos) to you. Don’t quench the Hagios Pneuma! Don’t despise propheteia! [inspired speech, prophesy] Test everything; firmly hold the kalos [beautiful, virtuous]; keep back from every form of ponerou [hurtful]. 

1st Corinthians 14.12: So also, you, since you are zelotai [zealous ones, zealots] of the spiritual to the building up of the ekklesias [assembly, church], seek interpretation in order that you may superabound. Therefore, let him, speaking in a glosse tongue, language], proseuchestho in order that he may be able to dierueneue [thoroughly explain, interpret]. For if I proseuchomai in a glosse, my pneumati [spirit] proseuchomai but my nous [intellect, mind, understanding] is empty. Then, what is to be? I will proseuchomai with the [my] pneumati and I will also proseuchomai with the [my] nous. I sing with the [my] pneumati and I also sing with the [my] nous. 

Philippians 4.4: Always chairete [be cheerful, rejoice] in the Kurio! Again, I will say, CHAIRETE! 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 and deesei [petition, request, prayer] amid eucharistias [gratefully giving thanks] to Him, let your requests be made known to Theos. Also, the peace of Theos which surpasses all intellect [understanding] will be the vanguard [scout, guide] of your hearts and your minds in Jesus, the Christo. 

Luke 11: And it was caused to be, in His being in a certain place proseuchomenon, as He stopped, one of His matheton [learners, pupils, disciples] said to Him, “Kurie! teach us to proseuchesthai, just as John bar Zekaryahuw taught his mathetas.” Now, He said to them, “Whenever you proseuchesthe, say: Our Father, the One in the Ouranois [Heavens]! Your Name hagiastheto [make holy God]! Make Your Kingdom come. Cause Your thelema [determination, choice, decision, decree] to be as in Ourano, so also upon the earth. Give us down to day by day our needed bread. And aphes [send forth, forsake, forgive] us our hamartias [misses of the mark or goal, errors, offences, sins] for we ourselves also apheilonti all indebted to us. And not carry us into testing, conversely, rescue us from the ponerou [hurtful one].”
