Romans 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
English “are with” emboldened in Romans 16:15 was translated from Greek preposition 4862 sun denoting union either literally or figuratively. Greek preposition 4862 sun was translated into “with” in Romans 6:8 “Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him” which is not literal but figurative. English “we” emboldened in Romans 6:8 and “our” in 6:11 in conjunction with English “chosen” in Acts 9:15 “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel” was translated from Greek feminine noun 1589 ekloge which was translated into “election” in Romans 9:10-33 Romans 11:4-7, 26-32 1Thessalonians 1:2-6 and 2Peter 1:10-21. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos was translated into English “chosen” and “elect” in Matthew 22:11-14 Matthew 24:22, 24 and 31 and Mark 13:20, 22 and 27 but you really need to study all of the 24th chapter of Matthew and 13th chapter of Mark to know that God’s context is the end of this earth age. God has fully corrected the grossly mistranslated verses of Matthew 24:22 and Mark 13:20 in previous posts. The crux of both the 24th chapter of Matthew and 13th chapter of Mark is that God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” will shorten the days of tribulation during the end of this earth age whereby “the rest” can “come unto the knowledge of the truth” during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. Greek adjective 1588 eklektos was translated into English “chosen” and “elect” in 1Peter 2:4-10. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” know how this saga ends because God’s coup de grâce is defined in Revelation 17:14 “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” English “chosen” emboldened in Revelation 17:14 was translated from Greek adjective 1588 eklektos which specifically describes and qualifies exactly “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” who will win the war of angels and bring God’s will to fruition.
