English “work” emboldened in 1Peter 1:17 was translated from Greek neuter noun 2041 ergon that best reflects God’s definition translated into work in 1Corinthians 3:9-15 “For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building” “According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon” “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ” “Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble” “Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” “If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward” “If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire”. Our understanding of 1Corinthians 3:9-15 will be enhanced by following God’s 2Timothy 2:15,19-22 directive by studying God’s definition of every Greek word in 1Corinthians 3:9-15 and 2Pt 3:7-16 and every Hebrew word in Ecclesiastes 12:1-7. We will all die, that God summed up for us nicely in verse 7 “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it”. All flesh thoughts and feelings shall “return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it”. When I was young I was cutting a native cherry tree into gun stocks on a table saw that kicked back and severed my right thumb at both the first joint and where the thumb joined to my right hand. I could not find the portion of my thumb containing the thumb nail and joint so I took the part that attached to my right hand to the hospital and they reattached it. There was a nurse that prepared me for surgery by giving me a shot in my arm pit that precluded my brain from feeling the pain that should have occurred when the nurse used a stiff bristled brush [like cleaning a potato before baking] whereby I knew I was not my thumb. I knew I was not my right hand. God permanently etched in my mind that my brain was the extent of my permanent existence. I follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 19-22 directive to the letter and subsequent to “rightly dividing the word of tuth” I was able to remove thousands of years of flesh thoughts and feelings that covered and hid God’s intrinsic spiritual truth. I then placed God’s definitions of God’s original Old Testament Hebrew and Greek New Testament words into a word document that I download to a flash drive then I move the flash drive to my wife’s computer and she posts God’s “word” definitions @ bibletruthuncovered.com. The severed thumb is just one example of many life experiences whereby God prepared me to understand and “work” God’s “works” to bring God’s “will” to fruition. 1Timothy 2:3-4 says “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth”. I do not understand what part of 1Timothy 2:3-4 more than 8 billion human beings do not understand! Romans 11:3-5, 7-8, 26-32 says “Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life” “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal” “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace” “What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded” “According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day” “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” “For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers‘ sakes” “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” “For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief” “For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all”. Many of the emboldened words and phrases in Romans 11:3-5, 7-8, 26-32 are self evident but some of God’s infallible Greek words were mistranslated by infinitely fallible flesh human beings so God will first define for us his Greek words that were mistranslated into English “Deliverer” “gifts” and “without repentance” were mistranslated from Greek verb 4506 ruomai Greek neuter noun 5486 charisma and Greek adjective 278 ametameletos respectively. Greek verb 4506 ruomai is obviously not the English noun “the Deliverer” but are in fact God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “Holy” “Saints” “the sons of God” who fulfill all other positive New Testament Bible roles. Greek neuter noun 5486 charisma is in fact God’s permanent endowment of God’s spirit unto God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “Holy” “Saints” “the sons of God” who in fact “shall come out of Sion” to deliver more than 8 billion who “shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”. Greek adjective 278 ametameletos means that God will never change his mind regarding his permanent endowment of his spirit unto “seven thousand” “election” as documented in Romans 11:4, 5, 7 & 28 while “the rest” in Romans 11:7 are more than 8 billion human beings “God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear unto this day” not to punish them but rather to protect them from Matthew 12:32 pursuant to Ephesians 1:10 1Timothy 2:3-4 and Romans 8:19-21 “And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come”. “That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him” “For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour” “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God” “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope” “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God”. I believe God has cleaned up everything emboldened in Romans 11:3-5, 7-8, 26-32 except “covenant” and “fathers‘” who are the patriarchs of the 12 tribes of Israel. There was a flesh Old Testament/“covenant”/contract/law between God and the Israelites. There is a spiritual New Testament//“covenant”/contract between God and “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” whose contractual obligation includes bringing “the rest” of God’s children [more than 8 billion including all of Israel] “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” during the latter days of this earth age but especially during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” achieve “the first resurrection” of Revelation 20:5&6 during this earth age “Blessed and holy is he 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” in which God’s “seven thousand” “election” will cause all “the rest” of God’s children “to come unto the knowledge of the truth” that has been the impetus of God’s process pursuant to God’s will since the beginning of time.
English “sojourning” emboldened in 1Peter 1:17 was translated from Greek feminine noun 3940 paroikia in order to understand God’s definition of Greek feminine noun 3940 paroikia we must follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 19-22 directive and study every Greek word in each verse containing Greek verb 3939 paroikeo Greek feminine noun 3940 paroikia and Greek adjective 3941 paroikos understanding that Greek verb 3939 paroikeo is from a compound of Greek preposition 3844 para that means “near” in the genitive case, as the flesh thoughts and feelings of grammatical objects are near the flesh thoughts and feelings of their flesh grammatical subject and Greek verb 3611 oikeo while Greek feminine noun 3940 paroikia and Greek adjective 3941 paroikos are from a compound of Greek preposition 3844 para that means “near” in the genitive case, as the flesh thoughts and feelings of grammatical objects are near the flesh thoughts and feelings of their flesh grammatical subject and Greek masculine noun 3624 oikos that is the masculine noun form of Greek verb 3611 oikeo that subjectively means to occupy a flesh dwelling place and objectively means to be the occupied flesh dwelling place. Greek masculine noun 3624 oikos is the flesh dwelling place. Greek verb 3611 oikeo best reflects God’s definition translated into “dwelleth” in Romans 7:17, 18 and 20 in the context of Romans 7:14-25. Greek verb 3939 paroikeo Greek feminine noun 3940 paroikia and Greek adjective 3941 paroikos best represent God’s definition translated into “foreigners” in Ephesians 2:19 in the context of Ephesians 2:1-22 and reaffirmed in Hebrews 12:22 in the context of Hebrews 12:18-24. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” are “foreigners” “sojourning” on earth subsequent to being “seven thousand” dwelling places of God’s Spirit among more than 8 billion vain flesh beings during this earth age. The objective of bibletruthuncovered.com is to build human edifices in whom God’s Spirit can dwell, as God directed in Acts 7:47-49 and Isaiah 66:1-2 “But Solomon built him an house” “Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet” “Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?” “Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me and where is the place of my rest?” “For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word”.
