1 Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
English “Honour” twice emboldened in 1Peter 2:17 were translated from Greek verb 5091 timao that is the verb form of Greek feminine noun 5092 time Greek adjective 5093 timios and Greek feminine noun 5094 timiotes all of which are predicated upon each human being’s value to God pursuant to bringing God’s will to fruition relative to the price God paid for each of us in the embodiment of Jesus Christ on a Roman cross. God summed this up for us quite succinctly when he translated Greek feminine noun 5092 time into English “with a price” in 1Corinthians 6:19-20 and 7:22-23 “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own”? “For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”. “For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord’s freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ’s servant”. “Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men”. Whereby God gives us insight into 2Timothy 2:19-22 where Greek feminine noun 5092 time [value] and Greek feminine noun 819 atimia [no value] were less accurately translated by fallible flesh human translators into English “honour” and “dishonour” respectively “Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity”. “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour”. “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work”. “Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart”. Fallible flesh translators also hosed up the emboldened English words “iniquity” “lusts” “righteousness” and “charity” that were mistranslated from Greek feminine noun 93 adikia Greek feminine noun 1939 epithumia Greek feminine noun 1343 dikaiosune and finally Greek feminine noun 26 agape respectively.
