Outline
Prologue: Ephes-04:13Ephes-04#v14-15- We may all come to the unity of faith ... no longer be children ... carried around by every wind of the teaching, cunning men, to the scheming of leading astray ... speak truth in love wo we may increase in him all things who is the head - the Messiah. V 25 For this reason, putting away the lying, each speak truth with his neighbor .. v 28 who ever is stealing, let him no longer steal ...
Followers of Yah and Members of Light
- Become, then, //see prologue above//
- followers of God,
- as children beloved,
- and walk in love,
- as also the Christ did love us,
- and did give himself for us,
- an offering
- and a sacrifice
- to God
- for an odour of a sweet smell,
- to God
- as becometh saints
- -- but rather thanksgiving;
- and now //you are// light in the Lord;
- as children of light walk ye,
- for the fruit of the Spirit //light see DSC below)// [is]
- in all goodness,
- and righteousness,
- and truth,
- proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,
- and have no fellowship
- with the unfruitful works of the darkness
- and rather even convict //ἐλέγχω (elenchō)//
- and all the things reproved //ἐλέγχω (elenchō)// by the light
- are manifested,
- for everything that is manifested is light;
- wherefore he //the Lord// saith,
- `Arouse thyself,
- thou who art sleeping,
- and arise out of the dead,
- and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'
- `Arouse thyself,
- with the unfruitful works of the darkness
- for the fruit of the Spirit //light see DSC below)// [is]
- as children of light walk ye,
- followers of God,
Reproving section sounds just like Colossians 3 Col-03 Bringing order to chaos.
Isaiah 26:19 Isa-26:19 part of a song of trust in God’s salvation, emphasizing hope and restoration. It speaks prophetically of resurrection, where the dead will live again, rising from the dust in a manner likened to dew bringing life. Speaks of a future resurrection of God’s people.
Isaiah 60:1: Isa-60:1 speaks about a light has come and darkness covering the earth, but nations will come to your light.
//Because Christ shines upon thee ...//
- See, then, how exactly ye walk,
- not as unwise,
- but as wise,
- redeeming the time,
- because the days are evil;
- because of this //because the days are evil// become not fools,
- but -- understanding what [is] the will of the Lord,
- and be not drunk with wine,
- in which is dissoluteness,
- but be filled in the Spirit,
- speaking to yourselves in //speaking to yourself in your heart to the Lord//
- psalms
- and hymns
- and spiritual songs,
- singing
- and making melody
- in your heart to the Lord,,
- giving thanks always
- for all things,
- in the name of our Lord
- Jesus Christ,
- to the God and Father;
- in the name of our Lord
- for all things,
- Subjecting yourselves
- to one another
- in the fear of God.
- The wives!
- to your own husbands
- Subjecting yourselves,
- as to the Lord,
- Subjecting yourselves,
- to your own husbands
- to one another
- speaking to yourselves in //speaking to yourself in your heart to the Lord//
- because of this //because the days are evil// become not fools,
- because the days are evil;
- redeeming the time,
- but as wise,
- not as unwise,
Subjecting
Having no fellowship with the darkness rather convict it, because all things reproved by the light are manifested - submit to one another for reproving. Isaiah 8:19-20 to the law and to the testimony, if they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
- The wives!
- to your own husbands
- Subjecting yourselves,
- as to the Lord,
- because the husband
- is head
- of the wife,
- as also the Christ
- head
- of the assembly,
- saviour of the body,
- head
- is head
- but even as the assembly
- is subject to Christ,
- so also [are] the wives
- to their own husbands
- in everything.
- to their own husbands
- so also [are] the wives
- is subject to Christ,
- Subjecting yourselves,
- to your own husbands
Literal translation: The wives to their own husbands - for reproving
1 Cor-4:321 Cor-4#v331 Cor-4#v341 Cor-4#v35-36 - No explicit command in the Torah to women remaining silent in a community, the closest reference would be Gen-03:16 about a husband ruling over his wife. Chaos requires order.
Genesis 3:16, Colossians 3 :18, 1 Peter 3 :1-7 about wives being subject to their husbands is in context of the community, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom - Bringing order to chaos.
A husband can nullify a wive’s vows and then bear the guilt Num-30
1 Timothy 2:8-15 A woman receive training in a quiet demanor with complete respect for order. Paul does not allow a woman to train or dictate to a man because Adam was formed first, and Adam was not deceived but the woman.
- The husbands!
- love your own wives,
- as also the Christ
- did love the assembly,
- and did give himself for it,
- that he might sanctify it,
- having cleansed [it]
- with the bathing of the water in the saying, //the washing of the water; mikveh//
- that he might present it
- to himself
- that he might present it
- the assembly in glory,
- not having spot
- or wrinkle,
- or any of such things,
- with the bathing of the water in the saying, //the washing of the water; mikveh//
- but that it may be
- holy //set apart//
- and unblemished;
- so ought the husbands to love
- their own wives
- as their own bodies:
- he who is loving his own wife
- -- himself he doth love;
- for no one ever his own flesh did hate,
- but doth
- nourish
- and cherish it,
- but doth
- for no one ever his own flesh did hate,
- as also the Lord
- -- the assembly,
- because members we are
- of his body,
- of his flesh,
- and of his bones;
- for this cause
- shall a man leave
- his father and mother,
- and shall be joined
- to his wife,
- and they shall be
- -- the two
- -- for one flesh;'
- this secret is great,
- and I speak in regard to
- Christ
- and to the assembly;
- but ye also,
- every one in particular
- -- let each his own wife
- so love as himself,
- and the wife
- -- that she may reverence
- the husband.
- -- that she may reverence
- Christ
- and I speak in regard to
- -- the two
- shall a man leave
- -- himself he doth love;
- their own wives
- as also the Christ
- love your own wives,
Members of Darkness
- become not, then, partakers with them, //members of darkness//
- let it not even be named among you,
- and whoredom,
- and all uncleanness,
- or covetousness, ;
- also filthiness,
- and foolish talking,
- or jesting,
- -- the things not fit
- for this ye know,
- that every whoremonger,
- or unclean,
- or covetous person,
- who is an idolater,
- hath no inheritance
- in the reign
- of the Christ and God.
- in the reign
- hath no inheritance
- Let no one deceive you
- with vain words,
- for because of these things //characteristics of darkness//
- cometh the anger of God
- upon the sons
- of the disobedience,
- upon the sons
- cometh the anger of God
- for because of these things //characteristics of darkness//
- with vain words,
- for ye were once darkness,
- for the things in secret
- done by them
- it is a shame even to speak of,
- let it not even be named among you,
