Advice about Widows, Elders and Servants

5 Rebuke not an elder (Do not scold an elder), but intreat him as a father (but appeal to him as [you would to] a father); and the younger men as brethren (fellow believers);

The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

Honour widows that are widows indeed.

But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew (show) piety (faithfulness) at home, and to requite (repay) their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth (trusts) in God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and continueth (continues) in supplications and prayers night and day.

But she that liveth (lives) in pleasure is dead while she liveth (lives).

And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel (he has denied the faith [by disregarding its precepts] and is worse than an unbeliever [who fulfills his obligation in these matters]).

Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore (60) years old, having been the wife of one man.

10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton (grow lustful) against Christ (Mashiach), they will marry;

12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

13 And withal (in addition) they learn to be idle (lazy), wandering about from house to house; and not only idle (lazy), but tattlers (gossipers) also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought (should) not.

14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully (and not give opponents of the faith any occasion for slander).

15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

(NOTE: Satan (noun) = שָׁלוֹם (Hebrew 7854) / Lucifer (Hebrew 1966; הֵילֵל Helel – Word origin: Halal (Hebrew 1984a; to shine) [before he was casted out from heaven] / Baphomet / Devil / Diablo [in Spanish] / Father of Lies / serpent / the enemy / Prince of the Air / Fallen Angel / morning star / shining one / Dragon / Beast / Roaring lion / The Accuser / Murderer / Beelzebub / Baal / Ba’al / Belial / Antichrist)

16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows (If any believing woman has [dependent] widows [in her household]), let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine (teaching).

18 For the scripture saith (says), thou shalt (you shall) not muzzle the ox that treadeth (treads) out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses (Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is based on [the testimony of at least] two or three witnesses).

20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear (As for those [elders] who continue in sin, reprimand them in the presence of all [the congregation], so that the rest will be warned).

21 I charge thee (you) before God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and the Lord Jesus Christ (Aḏon Yahusha ha’Mashiach), and the elect (chosen) angels, that thou (you) observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality (do not practice favoritism).

22 Lay hands suddenly on no man (Do not suddenly lay hands on anyone), neither be partaker (participant) of other men’s sins: keep thyself (yourself) pure.

23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy (your) stomach’s sake and thine (your) often infirmities (illness).

24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid (hidden).

Jerusalem’s (Yerushalayim’s) Last Warning

6 O ye (you) children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim), and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth (appears) out of the north, and great destruction.

I have likened the daughter of Zion (Tsiyon) to a comely and delicate woman.

The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.

Prepare ye (you) war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us (Great sorrow to us)! for the day goeth (goes) away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

For thus hath (has) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) of hosts said, Hew ye (you cut) down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem (Yerushalayim): this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her (there is nothing but oppression inside her [walls]).

As a fountain casteth (casts) out her waters, so she casteth (casts) out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.

Be thou (you) instructed, O Jerusalem (Yerushalayim), lest my soul depart from thee (you); lest I make thee (you) desolate, a land not inhabited.

Thus saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel (Yisrael) as a vine: turn back thine (your) hand as a grapegatherer (grape gatherer) into the baskets.

Judah’s Constant Rebellion

10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold (See), their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken (pay attention): behold, the word of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.

12 And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

13 For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth (deals) falsely.

14 They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay (No), they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

Judah Rejects the LORD’S Way

16 Thus saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), Stand ye (you) in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye (you) shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

17 Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken (Pay attention) to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken (pay attention).

18 Therefore hear, ye (you) nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.

19 Hear, O earth: behold (see), I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto (not paid attention to) my words (My Words), nor to my (My) law, but rejected it.

20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba (For what purpose does frankincense come to Me from Sheba), and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me (to Me).

21 Therefore thus saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks (stumbling blocks) before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

An Invasion from the North

22 Thus saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), Behold, a people cometh (is coming) from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.

23 They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth (roars) like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array (display) as men for war against thee (you), O daughter of Zion (Tsiyon).

24 We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble (grow weak): anguish hath (has) taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail (labor).

25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.

26 O daughter of my people, gird thee (you) with sackcloth, and wallow thyself (yourself) in ashes: make thee (you) mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.

27 I have set thee (you) for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.

28 They are all grievous revolters (rebels), walking with slanders (going around defaming others): they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.

29 The bellows [air bags that emits a stream] are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth (melts) in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.

30 Reprobate (Rejected) silver shall men call them, because the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) rejected them.

Jeremiah Speaks at the Temple

7 The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), saying,

Stand in the gate of the Lord’s (Adonai’s) house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), all ye (you) of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

Thus saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) of hosts, the God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) of Israel (Yisrael), Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell (live) in this place.

Trust ye (you) not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), The temple of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), The temple of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), are these.

For if ye (you) throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye (you) throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;

If ye (you) oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:

Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.

Behold, ye (you) trust in lying words, that cannot profit.

Will ye (you) steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal (Satan, Devil), and walk after other gods whom ye (you) know not;

(NOTE: Baal / Ba’al (proper noun) = בַּעַלa (Hebrew 1167) = Lord, master, owner, husband, a proper noun referring to a Canaanite deity. This Canaanite-Phoenician idol [opposite of the One True Almighty Creator / Elohim / 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah] which looks like a cow with two horns and is associated with or equivalent Satan / Devil or His demons). An association in opposition of the One True Almighty Creator / Elohim / 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah: Satan = שָׁלוֹם (Hebrew 7854) / Lucifer (Hebrew 1966; הֵילֵל Helel – Word origin: Halal) [before he was casted out from heaven] / Baphomet / Devil / Diablo [in Spanish] / Father of Lies / serpent / the enemy / Prince of the Air / Fallen Angel / morning star / shining one / Dragon / Beast / Roaring lion / The Accuser / Murderer / Beelzebub / Belial / Baalim / Antichrist and etc.)

10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

11 Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

12 But go ye (you) now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel (Yisrael).

13 And now, because ye (you) have done all these works, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and I spake unto (spoke to) you, rising up early and speaking, but ye (you) heard not; and I called you, but ye (you) answered not;

14 Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye (you) trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren (brothers), even the whole seed of Ephraim.

Judah’s Persistent Idolatry

16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.

(AMP Bible: 16 “Therefore, do not pray for this people [of Judah] or lift up a cry or entreaty for them or make intercession to Me, for I do not hear you.)

17 Seest thou not (Do you not see) what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim)?

18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

20 Therefore thus saith (says) the Lord God (Adonai Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

21 Thus saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) of hosts, the God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) of Israel (Yisrael); Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

22 For I spake (spoke) not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:

23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and ye (you) shall be my people: and walk ye (you) in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

24 But they hearkened not (But they did not pay attention), nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward (backslide), and not forward [growing spiritually].

25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:

26 Yet they hearkened not unto (Yet they did not listen to) me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck (but became stubborn): they did worse than their fathers.

27 Therefore thou shalt (you shall) speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee (not listen to you): thou shalt (you shall) also call unto them; but they will not answer thee (you).

28 But thou shalt (you shall) say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not (does not obey)  the voice of the Lord (Adonai) their God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), nor receiveth (receives) correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

29 Cut off thine (your) hair, O Jerusalem (Yerushalayim), and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath (His extreme anger).

The Valley of Slaughter

30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.

31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.

32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.

33 And the carcases (dead bodies) of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.

34 Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim), the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.

The Valley of Slaughter (continuation)

8 At that time, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim), out of their graves:

And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.

And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) of hosts.

Deception by False Prophets

Moreover thou shalt (you shall) say unto them, Thus saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?

Why then is this people of Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

I hearkened (paid attention) and heard, but they spake (spoke) not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth (rushes) into the battle.

Yea (Yes), the stork in the heaven knoweth (knows) her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

How do ye (you) say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is with us? Lo (Look), certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.

(NOTE: scribes (noun) = Jewish learned leaders trained to write and teach the Torah, the law of God)

The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo (look), they have rejected the word of the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah); and what wisdom is in them?

10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth (deals) falsely.

11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

13 I will surely consume them, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah): there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.

14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the Lord (Adonai) our God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) hath (has) put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!

16 The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell (live) therein.

17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices (two-legged dragon), among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith (says) the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

Jeremiah Weeps for Sinful Judah

18 When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint (weak) in me.

19 Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell (live) in a far country: Is not the Lord (Adonai; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) in Zion (Tsiyon)? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?

(NOTE: graven (adjective) = engraved / sculptured / incised / inscribed / carved)

20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath (has) taken hold on me.

22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician (doctor) there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

= DOS FOR WOMEN AS A GOOD TESTIMONY: GOOD WORKS, BRINGING UP CHILDREN, HOSPITALITY, HUMBLENESS, CARING FOR THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING.

11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton (grow lustful) against Christ (Mashiach), they will marry;

= WARNING TO THE YOUNGER WIDOWS WHO HAVE GROWN LUSTFUL / DISOBEDIENT TO GODLY INSTRUCTIONS.

12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

= WARNING OF LOSING FIRST FAITH / INITIAL SPIRITUAL ZEALOUSNESS.

13 And withal (in addition) they learn to be idle (lazy), wandering about from house to house; and not only idle (lazy), but tattlers (gossipers) also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought (should) not.

= DO NOT BE LAZY / GOSSIPERS / BUSIBODIES / TALK NONSENSE.

14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully (and not give opponents of the faith any occasion for slander).

= DONTS FOR YOUNGER WOMEN: DO NOT BE SLANDERERS BUT BE GOOD MOTHERS AND GUIDE THE HOUSE

15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

= SOME HAVE ALREADY FOLLOWED SATAN.

16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows (If any believing woman has [dependent] widows [in her household]), let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.

= BELIEVERS ARE TO CARE FOR THE WIDOWS AND HER FAMILY. DO NOT LET THE CHURCH BE BURDENED.

17 Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine (teaching).

= TEACHING ELDERS COUNTED DOUBLE WORTHY.

18 For the scripture saith (says), thou shalt (you shall) not muzzle the ox that treadeth (treads) out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.

= ALLOW THOSE WHO WORK TO BENEFIT FROM THEIR LABOR.

19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses (Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is based on [the testimony of at least] two or three witnesses).

= DO NOT ACCEPT ACCUSATION AGAINST ELDERS UNLESS THERE IS A PROOF.

20 Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear (As for those [elders] who continue in sin, reprimand them in the presence of all [the congregation], so that the rest will be warned).

= REPRIMAND THOSE WHO SIN IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL [THE CONGREGATION], SO THAT THE REST WILL BE WARNED

21 I charge thee (you) before God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), and the Lord Jesus Christ (Aḏon Yahusha ha’Mashiach), and the elect (chosen) angels, that thou (you) observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality (do not practice favoritism).

= OBSERVE THESE THINGS WITHOUT PRACTICING FAVOURITISM.

22 Lay hands suddenly on no man (Do not suddenly lay hands on anyone), neither be partaker (participant) of other men’s sins: keep thyself (yourself) pure.

23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy (your) stomach’s sake and thine (your) often infirmities (illness).

= DO NOT NEGLECT PHYSICAL WELL-BEING. USE NATURAL REMEDIES, LIKE WINE WHEN APPROPRIATE. IT ALSO SERVES AS A REMINDER OF THE BALANCE BETWEEN SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH IN A BELIEVER’S LIFE.

24 Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

= SOME PEOPLE’S SINS ARE OBVIOUS AND KNOWN BEFORE THEY FACE JUDGMENT, WHILE OTHERS’ SINS MAY NOT BE REVEALED UNTIL LATER. 

25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid (hidden).

= GOOD DEEDS ARE OFTEN VISIBLE AND RECOGNIZED, WHILE THOSE THAT ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY APPARENT WILL EVENTUALLY COME TO LIGHT.

OLD TESTAMENT:-

  • WHY DID GOD REJECT THE TRIBE OF EPHRAIM? (Jeremiah 7:15 15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren (brothers), even the whole seed of Ephraim.)
    – Idolatry and Wickedness
    – Rebellion Against God
    – Continued disobedience and failure to turn back to God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah).

Having difficulties to discipline yourself to read the Holy Bible daily? Then you are in trouble! Stop deceiving yourselves!

WARNING from God (Yahuah) Himself: The Word of God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) warned that if we do not have His word abiding (remaining) in us, then we are NOT believers (saved)! WAKE UP PEOPLE! Read John 5:38:-

John 5:38 King James Version (KJV)
And ye (you) have not his word (His Word) abiding (remaining) in you: for whom he hath (He / Yahuah has) sent, him ye (Him you) believe not.

1 John 5:2 King James Version (KJV)
By this we know that we love the children of God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah), when we love God, and keep his (His) commandments.

James 1:22 King James Version (KJV)
But be ye (you) doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Galatians 6:7 King James Version (KJV)
Be not deceived; God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth (sows / puts in / plants / spreads), that shall he also reap (harvest / attain / get).

Galatians 6:3 King James Version (KJV)
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth (deceives, is deceiving) himself.

1 Corinthians 15:33 King James Version (KJV)
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Colossians 2:8 King James Version (KJV)
Beware lest any man (Beware, otherwise others may) spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit (deception), after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (following the elementary principles of this world, rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Mashiach).

1 Thessalonians 5:11 King James Version (KJV)
“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye (you) do.”

Hebrews 3:13 King James Version (KJV)
But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye (you) have received, freely give.

John 3:3 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Jesus (Yahusha) answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly (seriously) say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified], he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God (Yahuah).

John 3:16-18 King James Version (KJV)
16 For God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuah) so loved the world, that he gave his (that He gave His) only begotten Son [Yahusha ha’Mashiach], that whosoever believeth in him (believes in Him) should not perish, but have everlasting (eternal) life.

17 For God (Elohim; 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 / Yahuahsent not his (did not send His) Son into the world to condemn (disapprove) the world; but that the world through him (Him) might be saved.

18 He that believeth on him (believes [and] decided to trust Him [as personal Savior and Lord]) is not condemned: but he that believeth not believeth (but he that does not believe) is condemned already, because he hath (has) not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Yahusha ha’Mashiach).

Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
