\v 10 This is God's love for us: not that we loved God, but that God loved us. God sent his Son to pay the penalty for the sins we committed, sins that angered God and separated us from him. Now, because Christ suffered for our sins, we are at peace with God.
With Bob Johnson, Tom Warren
\v 16 In all his letters, what Paul writes about these things is difficult for people to understand. People who do not know what they are talking about and whose faith is weak interpret these things wrongly, as they also interpret the other parts of the scriptures wrongly. The result is that they will lead God to punish them.
Thanks Bob,
Tom
\v 21 It would have been better for them if they had never learned how to live in the right way than to know what was right for them to do and reject the holy commands that God had given to them.
From Bob Johnson, with appreciation
\v 6 That is the reason why Christ preached the good news to those who are now dead. Even though God had judged them when they were alive, as God judges everyone, now their spirits may live with God.
From Bob Johnson
\v 7-10 They killed Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha, Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha, Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vaizatha, the ten grandsons of Hammedatha, the sons of Haman—the enemy of the Jews. The Jews killed them, but they did not take their possessions.
from Henry Whitney,
Thank, Tom
\v 13 When God promised to do great things for Abraham, there was no one greater than himself by whom he could swear, so he called himself to be his own witness.
From Bob Johnson.
\v 11 Jesus—the one who sets his people apart for God—and those same people whom he sets apart for God are from the same source, God himself. So Jesus is not embarrassed to proclaim them to be his own brothers and sisters.
From Bob Johnson
\v 2 What you heard me say to you and to many other people also, pass along to reliable and trustworthy men who are capable of teaching my words to others as well.

\v 9 You have loved people's righteous deeds and you have hated people's sinful deeds.
\q So God, your God, has caused you to be more joyful than anyone else.
Thanks to Bob Johnson
\v 3 God's Son is the light of God's powerful brilliance. He shows exactly what God is truly like. All things that exist—he keeps them existing by giving powerful commands. After he had acted so that God could forgive our sins, he rose into heaven and sat down at the highest place of honor, at the right side of God the Father, where he rules with him.
From Bob Johnson
\v 1 God who saves us and Christ Jesus who gives us hope commanded that I, Paul, should be an apostle.
\v 2 I am writing this to you, Timothy, and you are like a son to me by believing. I pray that God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ will be kind and merciful to you and that he will give you his peace
From Bob Johnson
\v 3 God wants you to set yourselves apart to God in everything you do. He commands you to keep away from all immoral sexual acts.
\v 4 He wants all of you to control your own bodies in a way that sets you apart from the world and honors God.
