Hebrews 12:15 “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled”
English “Looking diligently” was translated from Greek verb 1983 episkopeo which was translated into “taking the oversight thereof” in 1Peter 5:2 “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind” with “of a ready mind” in 1Peter 5:2 being translated from Greek adverb 4290 prothumos. Greek adjective 4289 prothumos was translated into “is willing” and into “is ready” in “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” and “Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak”. English “grace” in Hebrews 12:15 above was translated from Greek noun 5485 charis being the temporary bestowment of God’s Spirit as opposed to Greek noun 5486 charisma being the permanent endowment of God’s Spirit fully explained in previous posts, is predicated upon the readiness and willingness of our spirit verses the weakness of our flesh thoughts and feelings “and thereby many be defiled”. English “fail” in Hebrews 12:15 above was translated from Greek verb 5302 hustereo meaning to come late “unto the knowledge of the truth”. English “feed” in 1Peter 5:2 above was correctly translated from Greek verb 4165 poimaino which was correctly translated into English “feed” in “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood” “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd”. Greek verb 4165 poimaino was mistranslated into English “rule” in “And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father” with the “rod of iron” being “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”. Many religions and preachers have misinterpreted their congregation as their flock when all are in fact “the flock of God” “over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers” with “you” being limited to God’s “election” “that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years” “day of the Lord Jesus” in which “God our Saviour” “will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”.
