ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS 4:22-27Brethren, Abraham had two sons, one by a slave and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, the son of the free woman through promise. Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount…

ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE HEBREWS 13:17-21 Brethren, obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this joyfully, and not sadly, for that would be of no advantage to you. Pray for us, for we are sure…

The phrase “word of truth” is used in this passage. When I was a Protestant I would have said it was about the Bible. but what is Saint Paul talking about? 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.…

I’ve got to admit this. I misunderstood this verse. 2 Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. This verse is in a section of the Scripture where the Apostle Paul is telling Timothy how to do Christian apologetics. I…

ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS 5:22-26; 6:1-2 Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also…

LUKE 21:12-19 The Lord said to his disciples, “Beware of men who will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name’s sake.

LUKE 19:45-48 At that time, Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer’; but you have made it a den of robbers.” And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and…

ST. PAUL’S FIRST LETTER TO THE THESSALONIANS 1:6-10 Brethren, you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit; so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For not only has the word of…

MARK 5:24-34 At that time, a great crowd followed Jesus and thronged about him. And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard…

ST. PAUL’S LETTER TO THE GALATIANS 6:11-18 Brethren, see with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross…

The   Greek word, συνεργέω, is transliterated as synergeō and is translated as “workers together” in this passage: 2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.  This same word is used in many passages in the New Testament. Mark 16:20 And they went forth,…
