English “holy” emboldened in Romans 12:1 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” was translated from Greek adjective 40 hagios describing and qualifying God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election”. Greek adjective 40 hagios was 161 times translated into English “holy” and was 61 times translated into English “saints”. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” are also God’s “saints”.
English “acceptable” emboldened in Romans 12:1 & 2 were mistranslated from Greek adjective 2101 euarestos describing and qualifying “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” who are well pleasing to God. Greek adjective 2101 euarestos is from a compound of Greek adverb 2095 eu denoting something well done and Greek adjective 701 arestos describing and qualifying “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” who please God. Greek adjective 701 arestos is from Greek verb 700 aresko subjectively meaning to please and objectively means to be pleased. Greek verb 700 aresko was correctly translated into English “please” in Romans 8:8 “So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God” which is one of the few occasions when God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” get to be the grammatical subject and God is the grammatical object. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” “are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit” because they are completing transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways, which is the first commandment Jesus defined in the Greek words of Matthew 22:36-38 and Mark 12:28-34.
English “reasonable” emboldened in Romans 12:1 was translated from Greek adjective 3050 logikos from Greek masculine noun 3056 logos which was translated into “Word” in John 1:1 and word throughout the bible. Greek adjective 3050 logikos is the etymology of English logical and was translated into English “word” in 1Peter 2:2-5 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” “If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious” “To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious” “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ”. The “spiritual sacrifices” are God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” sacrificing their flesh thoughts and feelings in deference to God’s spiritual truth.
English “service” emboldened in Romans 12:1 was translated from Greek feminine noun 2999 latreia being the divine service which God best explains through Greek verb 3000 latreuo which was correctly translated into English “shalt thou serve” in Matthew 4:10 and “served” in Romans 1:25 even though Greek verb 3000 latreuo was mistranslated 411 years ago into English “which worship” in Philippians 3:3 it best exemplifies God’s perspective. Matthew 4:10 says “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve”. Romans 1:25 says “Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen”. Philippians 3:3-5 says “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh” “Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more” “Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee”. English “we” emboldened in Philippians 3:3 confirms that the apostle Paul is now among God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints”. English “circumcision” emboldened in Philippians 3:3 is flesh thoughts and feelings circumcised from the heart in deference to God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh” “But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God”. “Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life”. English “confidence” emboldened in Philippians 3:3 and “he hath whereof he might trust” in Philippians 3:4 were translated from Greek verb 3982 peitho subjectively meaning to persuade and objectively means to be persuaded, while “confidence” emboldened in Philippians 3:4 was translated from Greek feminine noun 4006 pepoithesis which is the trust and confidence God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” have by being persuaded by the Spirit of God as opposed to being persuaded by flesh thoughts and feelings exemplified by Greek verb 3982 peitho which was translated into English persuaded in Matthew 27:20 “But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus”. The “chief priests” and church “elders” were the grammatical subjects who “persuaded” their grammatical objects “the multitude” to “destroy Jesus”. The bible makes it clear that flesh human beings persuade their grammatical objects to believe and have faith in flesh grammatical subjects who routinely contradict God’s spiritual truth, rendering their belief and faith of no consequence to God. The world’s 4,351 religions use faith as a cudgel to deter questions regarding their religious dogma and doctrine which was covered in greater detail in prior post World’s 4,351 Religions Are Persuaded Of Ludicrous Things. It is important to understand that the apostle Paul was “Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee” and Paul had no faith and zero trust in the religion in which he was raised since his infancy because Paul became a member of God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” who “are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit” because they are completing transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways which is the first commandment Jesus defined in the Greek words of Matthew 22:36-38 and Mark 12:28-34.
