JEREMIAH 21-22:
These verses from Jeremiah 20 have been often
quoted as a reason for memorizing Scripture:
NLT
9 But if I say I’ll never mention the LORD
or
speak in his name,
his
word burns in my heart like a fire.
It’s
like a fire in my bones!
I am
worn out trying to hold it in!
I
can’t do it!
Remember the priest Pashur who put Jeremiah in stocks. The Passhur that time was the son of Immer. Today it is evidently a different Passhur who visits Jeremiah, the son of Malchiah.
PSALM 148:
The ending psalms just keep getting more and
more exuberant in praise!
Translation
notes:
5 Let them all
praise [Him//the name of the Lord]! He commanded, and they were
created;
11 Let
them all praise [Him//the name of the Lord]! His name is greater
than all others; his glory is above earth and heaven.
1CORINTHIANS 4:14—5:
Paul is about to drop a bombshell in chapter 5,
and it is good to see the transition from chapter 4.
Translation
notes:
4:17 For this
purpose I am sending to you Timothy, who is my own dear and
faithful son in the Christian life. He will remind you of the [way
of living//principles] which I follow [, and which is appropriate
for all of us who are joined in union with Christ Jesus.//in the
new life in union with Christ Jesus] [0//which] I teach [these
principles] in all the churches everywhere.
