Galatians 5: Hebrews and English!! Hebrews:

Hebrews:


הפרק 5

ועתה עמדו נא בחרות אשר שחרר אתנו המשיח ואל תשובו להלכד בעל העבדות׃

2 הנה אני פולוס אמר לכם כי אם תמולו לא יועיל לכם המשיח׃

3 ומעיד אני עוד הפעם בכל איש אשר ימול כי מחיב הוא לשמר את כל התורה׃

4 נגזרתם מן המשיח אתם המצטדקים בתורה נפלתם מן החסד׃

5 כי אנחנו ברוח ניחל מתוך האמונה לתקות הצדקה׃

6 כי במשיח איננה נחשבת לא המילה ולא הערלה כי אם האמונה הפעלת באהבה׃

7 היטבתם לרוץ מי חשך אתכם משמע אל האמת׃

8 הפתוי הזה איננו מאת הקרא אתכם׃

9 מעט שאר מחמץ הוא את כל העסה׃

10 מבטח אני בכם באדון שלא תהיה רוח אחרת עמכם והעכר אתכם ישא את עונו יהיה מי שיהיה׃

11 ואני אחי אם אכריז עוד המילה על מה אהיה נרדף הלא אז מבטל מכשול הצלב׃

12 מי יתן ויכרתו המדיחים אתכם׃

13 כי אתם אחי לחרות נקראתם ובלבד שלא תהיה החרות תאנה לבשר אלא שתעבדו איש את רעהו באהבה׃

14 כי כל התורה כלולה במצוה אחת והיא ואהבת לרעך כמוך׃

15 אבל אם תנשכו ותאכלו איש את אחיו ראו פן תכלו איש על ידי רעהו׃

16 והנני אמר התהלכו ברוח ולא תמלאו את תאות הבשר׃

17 כי הבשר מתאוה הפך מן הרוח והרוח הפך מן הבשר ושניהם מתקוממים זה לזה עד שלא תוכלו לעשות את אשר תחפצו׃

18 ואם תנהגו על ידי הרוח אז אינכם תחת התורה׃

19 וגלוים הם פעלי הבשר אשר הם נאוף זנות טמאה וזמה׃

20 עבודת אלילים וכשוף איבות ומצות וקנאה ורגז מריבות מחלקות וכתות׃

21 צרות עין ושפיכות דמים ושרון וזוללות ודומיהן אשר אמר עליהן כמו שאמרתי כבר כי עשי אלה לא ינחלו מלכות האלהים׃

22 ופרי הרוח אהבה שמחה ושלום ארך רוח ונדיבות וחסד ואמונה׃

23 וענוה ופרישות אין תורה לנגד עשי אלה׃

24 ואשר הם למשיח צלבו את בשרם עם כל תשוקתיו ותאותיו׃

25 אם נחיה ברוח נתהלכה גם ברוח׃

26 ולא נרדף אחרי כבוד שוא להכעיס איש את רעהו ולקנא איש את רעהו׃


English:


"Freedom in Christ


So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.  I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.  For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.

But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us.  For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being uncircumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love.

You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?  It certainly isn’t God, for he is the one who called you to freedom.  This false teaching is like a little yeast that spreads through the whole batch of dough!  I am trusting the Lord to keep you from believing false teachings. God will judge that person, whoever he is, who has been confusing you.

Dear brothers and sisters, if I were still preaching that you must be circumcised—as some say I do—why am I still being persecuted? If I were no longer preaching salvation through the cross of Christ, no one would be offended.  I just wish that those troublemakers who want to mutilate you by circumcision would mutilate themselves.

For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.  For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you are always biting and devouring one another, watch out! Beware of destroying one another.

Living by the Spirit’s Power


So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves.  The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.  But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.

When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there.  Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.  Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another."


Bible Notes of the day!!

 Verse of the day:


Philippians 4:4:

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"


Scripture of the day:


2 Corinthians 3:


"Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?  You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.  You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

 Such confidence we have through Christ before God.  Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.  He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

The Greater Glory of the New Covenant


Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?  If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness!  For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory.  And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!

Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.  We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away.  But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.  Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.  But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.  Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit."

2.  "I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism."


3.  "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."


4.  "For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."


5.  "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."


6.  "For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life."


7.  "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."


8.  "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words."


9.  "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.


10.  "For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace."

Daniel and Esther: What is Faith?

  


Halloo!! We are back! Today we are going to talk about, What is Faith? Look at Abrham's life.  When God ordered Abraham to sacrifice his son, Isaac.  Abraham didn't have a panic attack or say to God, "Sorry God, I can't sacrifice Isaac." No, he did exactly what God ordered him to do. On the altar before Abraham he was prepared to slaughter his son but God stopped him. A ram appeared and Abraham could use the ram and not Isaac for a sacrifice.  We walk by faith and not by sight.  We have to focus on Jesus and not what is going around us.  Peter is also a great example.  He steps out of the boat onto the water and starts walking on the water, but when he took his focus off Jesus and saw the storm he started drowning.  Always have faith in God.  Don't look at your surroundings.  Start worhipping God, start praising Him.  He will never fail you.  Hebrews 11:1: "Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see." It is impossible to please God without faith. Noah built an ark with no signs of rain.  After the ark was finished and Noah was in the ark, it started raining.  Don't look at the problem or your situations. Focus on Jesus!  

Faith is believe and see together, no matter the circumstances.  There are so many faith heroes in the Bible.  Like Daniel.  He didn't panic because there were lions, he didn't have a panic attack.  He had faith in God! With his faith, the lions didn't touch him.  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, Daniel's friends, didnt go into a panic attack or run away or turn their back on God, they were thrown into a very very hot fire because of their faith.  And you know what happened?  Because of their faith, the fire didn't even touch them, and they didnt even smell like fire. Joseph never gave up his faith too! He went from a pit to a palace.  Even when Potiphar's wife falsely accused Joseph and Joseph was thrown into jail, he never gave up his faith.  He still had faith in God! Always know God is on your side and you don't have to fear anything.  Because of his faith, David overcame Goliath and had  many challenges. Look at Paul and Silas, when they were thrown into jail, they start praising God and look what happened.  The jail door opened.  Start praising God, worship Him all the time! Have faith in God!! Study Hebrews 11 and write down all the names of faith heroes and study how their faith helped them to get out of situations.

11.  "As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it, for this is my body.” And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.  And he said to them, “This is my blood, which confirms the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out as a sacrifice for many.  I tell you the truth, I will not drink wine again until the day I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”


Psalm 91:

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers.


He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.


If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!


 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.

I will reward them with a long life

and give them my salvation."

SALVATION PRAYER:

Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I come to you and ask you to forgive me for my sins. I surrender my life to you. Come into my life and guide me. Show me your will and not my will. In Jesus Name Amen!!

Repent and be baptised. Be Born Again!!  Be Ready!! Keep yourself busy with God's work and not yours!!!


How do I know I am in the right or wrong church!!


Not every church, Pastor will go to heaven!! You must make sure you belong to a church where the Holy Spirit moving. Ask God to help you to show you the right church!! It is very important to belong to the right church. A church where you are comfortable is a big NO!! You have to be challenged in your faith. Your faith must grow. Walk-on-the-water faith church, Holy Spirit-moving is the right church!! Make sure your are Born Again too!! You must  repent and give your life to Jesus and be baptised!! A big NO church is where the Holy Spirit is not moving, too many doctorines, like the normal traditional churches. You must stay far away from them!! Baby christening is not biblical!! They like to preach what people want to hear and not what they must hear.  Focus now on finding the right church. Ask God to show you the right church and to open doors for you to get there!! But it is of life  importance that you must go to the right church!! A religious church is big trouble.  It is not going to help you to get to heaven!! A faith based church where the Holy Spirit is moving, where you grow in your faith, where you are challenged in your faith, where they do baptisms too, and teach the Word of God!!

The key to the Kingdom of God - Born Again!!

Deuteronomy 26: Hebrews and English:

 Hebrews:


הפרק 26

והיה כי תבוא אל הארץ אשר יהוה אלהיך נתן לך נחלה וירשתה וישבת בה׃

2 ולקחת מראשית כל פרי האדמה אשר תביא מארצך אשר יהוה אלהיך נתן לך ושמת בטנא והלכת אל המקום אשר יבחר יהוה אלהיך לשכן שמו שם׃

3 ובאת אל הכהן אשר יהיה בימים ההם ואמרת אליו הגדתי היום ליהוה אלהיך כי באתי אל הארץ אשר נשבע יהוה לאבתינו לתת לנו׃

4 ולקח הכהן הטנא מידך והניחו לפני מזבח יהוה אלהיך׃

5 וענית ואמרת לפני יהוה אלהיך ארמי אבד אבי וירד מצרימה ויגר שם במתי מעט ויהי שם לגוי גדול עצום ורב׃

6 וירעו אתנו המצרים ויענונו ויתנו עלינו עבדה קשה׃

7 ונצעק אל יהוה אלהי אבתינו וישמע יהוה את קלנו וירא את ענינו ואת עמלנו ואת לחצנו׃

8 ויוצאנו יהוה ממצרים ביד חזקה ובזרע נטויה ובמרא גדל ובאתות ובמפתים׃

9 ויבאנו אל המקום הזה ויתן לנו את הארץ הזאת ארץ זבת חלב ודבש׃

10 ועתה הנה הבאתי את ראשית פרי האדמה אשר נתתה לי יהוה והנחתו לפני יהוה אלהיך והשתחוית לפני יהוה אלהיך׃

11 ושמחת בכל הטוב אשר נתן לך יהוה אלהיך ולביתך אתה והלוי והגר אשר בקרבך׃

12 כי תכלה לעשר את כל מעשר תבואתך בשנה השלישת שנת המעשר ונתתה ללוי לגר ליתום ולאלמנה ואכלו בשעריך ושבעו׃

13 ואמרת לפני יהוה אלהיך בערתי הקדש מן הבית וגם נתתיו ללוי ולגר ליתום ולאלמנה ככל מצותך אשר צויתני לא עברתי ממצותיך ולא שכחתי׃

14 לא אכלתי באני ממנו ולא בערתי ממנו בטמא ולא נתתי ממנו למת שמעתי בקול יהוה אלהי עשיתי ככל אשר צויתני׃

15 השקיפה ממעון קדשך מן השמים וברך את עמך את ישראל ואת האדמה אשר נתתה לנו כאשר נשבעת לאבתינו ארץ זבת חלב ודבש׃

16 היום הזה יהוה אלהיך מצוך לעשות את החקים האלה ואת המשפטים ושמרת ועשית אותם בכל לבבך ובכל נפשך׃

17 את יהוה האמרת היום להיות לך לאלהים וללכת בדרכיו ולשמר חקיו ומצותיו ומשפטיו ולשמע בקלו׃

18 ויהוה האמירך היום להיות לו לעם סגלה כאשר דבר לך ולשמר כל מצותיו׃

19 ולתתך עליון על כל הגוים אשר עשה לתהלה ולשם ולתפארת ולהיתך עם קדש ליהוה אלהיך כאשר דבר׃


English:


"Harvest Offerings and Tithes

“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you as a special possession and you have conquered it and settled there,  put some of the first produce from each crop you harvest into a basket and bring it to the designated place of worship—the place the Lord your God chooses for his name to be honored.  Go to the priest in charge at that time and say to him, ‘With this gift I acknowledge to the Lord your God that I have entered the land he swore to our ancestors he would give us.’  The priest will then take the basket from your hand and set it before the altar of the Lord your God.

“You must then say in the presence of the Lord your God, ‘My ancestor Jacob was a wandering Aramean who went to live as a foreigner in Egypt. His family arrived few in number, but in Egypt they became a large and mighty nation.  When the Egyptians oppressed and humiliated us by making us their slaves, we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors. He heard our cries and saw our hardship, toil, and oppression.  So the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand and powerful arm, with overwhelming terror, and with miraculous signs and wonders.  He brought us to this place and gave us this land flowing with milk and honey!  And now, O Lord, I have brought you the first portion of the harvest you have given me from the ground.’ Then place the produce before the Lord your God, and bow to the ground in worship before him.  Afterward you may go and celebrate because of all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household. Remember to include the Levites and the foreigners living among you in the celebration.

“Every third year you must offer a special tithe of your crops. In this year of the special tithe you must give your tithes to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows, so that they will have enough to eat in your towns.  Then you must declare in the presence of the Lord your God, ‘I have taken the sacred gift from my house and have given it to the Levites, foreigners, orphans, and widows, just as you commanded me. I have not violated or forgotten any of your commands.  I have not eaten any of it while in mourning; I have not handled it while I was ceremonially unclean; and I have not offered any of it to the dead. I have obeyed the Lord my God and have done everything you commanded me.  Now look down from your holy dwelling place in heaven and bless your people Israel and the land you swore to our ancestors to give us—a land flowing with milk and honey.’


A Call to Obey the Lord’s Commands

“Today the Lord your God has commanded you to obey all these decrees and regulations. So be careful to obey them wholeheartedly.  You have declared today that the Lord is your God. And you have promised to walk in his ways, and to obey his decrees, commands, and regulations, and to do everything he tells you.  The Lord has declared today that you are his people, his own special treasure, just as he promised, and that you must obey all his commands.  And if you do, he will set you high above all the other nations he has made. Then you will receive praise, honor, and renown. You will be a nation that is holy to the Lord your God, just as he promised.”

Bible Notes of the day!!

 Verse of the day:


2 Corinthians 5:7:

"For we live by faith, not by sight."


Scripture of the day:


Ephesians 3:


"God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles


For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly.  In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets. This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.  Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things. His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord. In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence. I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.

A Prayer for the Ephesians


For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

2 Corinthians 5:17:

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."


Colossians 3:1-4:

"Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.  Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.  For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.  And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory."


As a born again believer you are a new creation.  You will change!! You are in this world but not from this world! You don't belong to this world.  Christ lives in you.  It is no longer I but it is everything for Christ now!! The same power that raised Jesus from the death is inside of you.  You will only do heavenly things and not worldly things.  It is very important to get your focus right!! Focus on Jesus and not on the world!! The world things are temporary but the heavenly things are forever!! Turn your back on the worldly things!! Renew your mind daily with the Word of God!! Jesus Christ is the true Light, follow Him no matter what!!


The Word of God!!

"Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do."


Matthew 4:4:

 "Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”


The Word of God is not a storybook.  The Word of God is a lifestyle!!  The Word of God is food for your soul!! Joshua said study it, meditate on it day and night!! When you meditate, study, speak the Word of God, you will see God in you, Jesus in you, the Holy Spirit in you!! Stand on God's Word in every situation!!  Make time in your life to study, meditate on the Word of God!! The Word will become a lifestyle  the more time you spent in the Word of God!! It is a powerful weapon against the devil's attacks.  The Word of God is alive and active.  Sharper than a two edged sword!! Therefore eat, speak, live the Word of God!!

Daniel and Esther: Do Not Worry! Do Not Fear!!

  


Hallo, we are back! Today we are going  to talk about Do Not Worry! Do Not Fear! As Born Again Believers we can walk with joy and peace no matter what the circumstances look like.  Jesus said, "Do not worry, do not fear."  Fear and worry do not come from God.  It is a devilish thing.  The devil wants you to walk in fear and in worries.  2 Timothy 1:7: "For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." That is why it is so very important to stay in the Word of God.  Meditate, Focus on the Word and Speak the Word of God day and night.  You will live in joy and peace no matter what is going on around you.  Praising God every day will also help you to stay focused on Him and not on your circumstances.  Don't walk into the devil's trap.  God's Word says, "Do not fear, be joyful." Let the joy of the Lord be your strength.  You have victory through Christ.  Be joyfull and full of peace!!

When Daniel was in the Lion's den, he didn't panic, he didn't worry, fear didn't overtake him, he had faith in God Almighty.  In the worst of the worst circumstances Daniel choose not to fear, not to worry. He trusted God to save him from the lion's den and God saved him.  Also Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego also didn't fear and worry, instead they had faith in God to save them from the furnace and God saved them.  Paul and Silas were in jail and they started worshipping God, and there was a shake and all the jail doors opened.  They didn't panic, they didn't have fear, they were totally focused on Jesus and didn't let the circumstances overcome their lives.  That is why it is so important to stay in the Word of God, Meditate and Focus on the Word of God day and night. Speak the Word of God.  You will live in joy and peace no matter what the circumstances are.

 "Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone ...
