English “office” emboldened in Romans 12:4 “For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:” was mistranslated from Greek feminine noun 4234 praxis being practice, in the sense of recurring action. Greek feminine noun 4234 praxis was translated into English “works” in Matthew 16:27 into “deeds” in Romans 8:13-14 and Colossians 3:9 “For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works” “For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live”  “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” “Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds”. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” are also the bible’s “sons of God” and “many brethren”.

Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

English “members” emboldened in Romans 12:4 were translated from Greek neuter noun 3196 melos being a body part. Greek neuter noun 3196 melos was translated into English “members” in James 3:6 “And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell”. English “of nature” emboldened in James 3:6 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1078 genesis being our nativity or the moment of our birth. From the moment of our birth we are defiled by the tongues of men. English “of” emboldened in James 3:6 was translated from Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subject. So hell is the predicate of the tongues of men. English “hell” emboldened in James 3:6 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1067 geenna. English false narrative “hell” has been translated from Hebrew noun H7585 she’owl meaning grave, from Greek noun 1067 geenna being the valley of  the son of Hinnom containing Jerusalem’s garbage pit where Jesus instructed us to cast any flesh member [Mt 5:29 James 3:6] that offends God’s Spirit and from Greek noun 86 hades from a compound of Greek 1 a negative particle synonymous with English un or not and Greek verb 1492 eido meaning to see through the eyes and know through the thoughts of one’s grammatical subject. Greek noun 86 hades is the impossibility of seeing through God’s eyes and knowing through God’s thoughts when a grammatical object has any grammatical subject other than God epitomized by the tongues of men. The English words of Jeremiah 32:35 sufficiently represent God’s spiritual thoughts regarding hell “And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin”. 

English “faith” emboldened in Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” was translated from Greek feminine noun 4102 pistis which is predicated on Greek verb 3982 peitho subjectively meaning to persuade and objectively means to be persuaded. There are 4,351 world religions because human beings are persuaded by flesh purveyors of 4,351 different beliefs predicated upon the flesh thoughts and feelings of 4,351 different human beings. 1Timothy 2:5-6 says “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” “Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time”. English “due” emboldened in 1Timothy 2:6 was translated from Greek adjective 2398 idios describing and qualifying one’s own time. Jesus said “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division” and the bible is designed to bring about that same division, as documented in Hebrews 4:12 Isaiah 55:7-11 and Isaiah 28:9-13. The English word faith is used as a cudgel by the world’s 4,351 religions to deter questions those religions can’t answer. Romans 12:3 says in part “God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” and we have reconciled the English words emboldened and God performed the action of Greek verb 3307 merizo and we human beings receive our own portion of faith predicated upon the faith of Jesus Christ in us, pursuant to God’s will as documented in Galatians 2:16  Galatians 3:22 and Revelation 14:12 “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe” “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus”. English “justified” emboldened above were translated from Greek verb 1344 dikaioo in this context subjectively meaning to make right per God’s definition of right and objectively means to be made right per God’s definition of right. There is one God and one definition of right but there are 4,351 world religions precisely because they have 4,351 different definitions of right. English “promise” emboldened above is the promise of God’s Holy Spirit as documented in Acts 2:33. English “patience” emboldened in Revelation 14:12 was translated from Greek feminine noun 5281 hupomone being the human dwelling place of God’s Spirit. Greek feminine noun 5281 hupomone is from a compound of Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subject and Greek feminine noun 3438 mone being the dwelling place of God’s Spirit. Greek feminine noun 3438 mone was translated into English “our abode” in John 14:23 “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him”. Romans 12:3 summary: our faith in God is of little consequence to God. The faith of Jesus in us pursuant to God’s will is of great consequence to God and is commensurate with everyone’s own faith as measured out by God’s Holy Spirit which is delivered only to God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” during this earth age to protect “the rest” from Matthew 12:32 “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” which is the only way God’s will can come to fruition as defined in 1Timothy 2:3-4 “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”. God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” will cause “the rest” “to come unto  the knowledge of the truth” during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows which is the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law between God and God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” who are the “we” and “us” in the verses/future posts to follow. 

English “the measure” emboldened in Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” was translated from Greek neuter noun 3358 metron being the instrument of measure.  Greek neuter noun 3358 metron was translated into English measure in Matthew 7:1-2 “Judge not, that ye be not judged” “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again”. English “ye mete” emboldened in Matthew 7:2 was translated from Greek verb 3354 metreo subjectively meaning to measure out and objectively meaning to receive the portion measured out. English “it shall be measured” “again” in Matthew 7:2 was translated from Greek verb 488 antimetreo from a compound of Greek preposition 473 anti meaning in lieu of and Greek verb 3354 metreo subjectively meaning to measure out and objectively means to receive what is measured out. Inflected language’s word meanings such as Hebrew and Greek change predicated upon the grammatical subject performing the verb’s action and the grammatical objects receiving the action performed. The crux of Matthew 7:1-2 is that human beings who judge those who believe differently than themselves worthy of hell will judge themselves worthy of the same in the beginning of the “thousand years” that shall occur between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. The crux of Romans 12:3 is that God will measure out to us faith commensurate with the faith Jesus has in us pursuant to God’s will, which is well defined in 1Timothy 2:3-4. The faith of everyone other than God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” is of little or no consequence to God.

English “he ought” emboldened in Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” was translated from Greek verb 1163 dei  from Greek verb 1210 deo in the sense of God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” being bound by their spiritual covenant with God. Greek verb 1163 dei was translated into English “must” in “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” “Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God” “For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you” “For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality” “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” “Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.” “And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done”.

English “hath dealt” emboldened in Romans 12:3 was translated from Greek verb 3307 merizo subjectively meaning to apportion and objectively means to receive one’s own portion.

English “to think of himself more highly” emboldened in Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” was translated from Greek verb 5252 huperphroneo which appears only in Romans 12:3. Greek verb 5252 huperphroneo is from a compound of Greek preposition 5228 huper and Greek verb 5426 phroneo meaning to exercise one’s mind, was twice translated into “think” in Romans 12:3. Greek preposition 5228 huper means over in the genitive case as a grammatical subject is over their grammatical objects. Greek preposition 5228 huper was translated into English “for” in Romans 5:8 8:26 & 27 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” “And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God”. God came to earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ to be every grammatical object’s exclusive grammatical subject. No wonder the bible says “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God”. “For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, as there be gods many, and lords many”. “Who opposeth and exalteth himself above  all that is called God,  or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing  himself that he is God”. Who do you think these bible little g gods are? There is one God but there are 4,351 different world religions as archived by the United States Library of Congress. “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God”. Greek verb 5426 phroneo was translated into English “mind” in “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit” “Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things”. Greek verb 5426 phroneo was translated into English “affection” in “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth” Greek verb 5426 phroneo was translated into English “minded” in “Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you”. Does this verse say one of the world’s 4,351 religions “shall reveal even this unto you” or does it say “God shall reveal even this unto you”? The world’s 4,351 religions preclude you from God. Greek verb 5426 phroneo was translated into English “savourest” in Matthew 13:23 and Mark 8:33 “But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men” “But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men”. Flesh thoughts and feelings are antithetical to God. Revelation 20:2 says “And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years”. Please consider the possibility that “the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan” is flesh thoughts and feelings.

English “to every man” emboldened in Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” was translated from Greek adjective 3956 pas which describes the entirety of a noun or pronoun. Greek adjective 3956 pas was 748 times reasonably translated into English all but was grossly mistranslated into the English pronoun “whosoever” in John 3:16 exemplifying why 2Timothy 2:15 implores everyone to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth”. The Old Testament was first handwritten in Hebrew on animal skin parchments 3,500 years ago. The New Testament was first handwritten in Greek on papyrus scrolls in 325 AD.  English “truth” emboldened in 2Timothy 2:15 was translated from Greek feminine noun 225 aletheia which is from a compound of Greek 1 a negative particle synonymous with English un or not and Greek verb 2990 lanthano meaning to hide by covering. The bible says “All men are liars” “God be true, but every man a liar” because men cover God’s intrinsic spiritual truth with lies that dwell in their flesh thoughts and feelings. There are fifty different versions of the English bible and the bible has been translated into 1,548 different languages all of which cover and hide God’s intrinsic spiritual truth. God addicted James Strong [1822-1894] into investing nearly fifty years of his life translating all of the King James Bible’s English words back to the original Old Testament Hebrew and New Testament Greek words from which the English words were translated. The Strong’s Concordance was first published in 1890 without errors. Recent publications are riddled with errors. Our bibletruthuncovered.com posts such as Greek feminine noun 225 aletheia meaning God’s spiritual truth, not covered by flesh thoughts and feelings, are from the 1890 Strong’s Concordance.    

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

English “grace” emboldened in Romans 12:3 was translated from Greek noun 5485 charis which is the temporary bestowment of God’s spirit. Greek noun 5486 charisma is the permanent endowment of God’s spirit. God’s process of distribution was covered in analysis of Romans 11:3 in prior posts and explains why Greek noun 5485 charis has nothing to do with works while Greek noun 5486 charisma is always subsequent to works. The apostle Paul used the Greek noun 5485 charis to refer to what was “given unto me” because it is not possible for God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” to know if they have completed transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways until they take their last flesh breath. Presumption of the permanent endowment of God’s spirit [Greek noun 5486 charisma] is more reflective of the arrogance of the world’s 4,351 religions and antithetical to God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints”.

English “will” emboldened in Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” was translated from Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema. English “will” [as in God’s will] has been translated from Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema Greek feminine noun 2308 thelesis Greek verb 2309 thelo Greek feminine noun 1012 boule Greek neuter noun 1013 boulema and Greek verb 1014 boulomai. Greek neuter noun 2307 thelema Greek feminine noun 2308 thelesis and Greek verb 2309 thelo represent what God wants. Greek feminine noun 1012 boule Greek neuter noun 1013 boulema and Greek verb 1014 boulomai represent God’s counsel pursuant to what God wants. Simply stated, a grammatical object of any spiritual grammatical subject other than God does not receive God’s counsel. Only a fraction of “the election” God said “I have reserved to myself” have fulfilled the first commandment. Jesus defined the first commandment in Matthew 22:37-38 and Mark 12:28-32. This earth age will end when God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to become entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. English “mind” in Matthew 22:37 and Mark 12:30 were both translated from Greek noun 1271 dianoia from a compound of Greek preposition dia meaning through, as the channel of an act, and noia being God’s thoughts. The scribe changed Jesus’ word mind/dianoia being God’s spiritual thoughts into the scribe’s word understanding/sunesis being the scribe’s flesh thoughts, which is one of the reasons God, in the last four verses of the bible, warns us of the consequences “If any man shall add unto” or “if any man shall take away from the words of the book”.

English “perfect” emboldened in Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” was mistranslated from Greek adjective 5046 teleios describing and qualifying God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” who complete 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 which God fully defined in prior posts.
