Numba 1 Fo Timoty 3:16

I’ve been reading through the Pauline Letters and was in 1 Timothy this morning. Sometimes I like checking passages out in other versions – Da Jesus Book (the Hawai’i Pidgin Bible) is often a favorite:

We all say dis:
Da stuff bout God, dat befo time was secret, dass importan fo real kine.
Christ wen come, wit one body jalike us.
Godʼs Spirit wen show proof dat Christ stay right.
Da angel guys from God wen see him.
His guys wen teach da diffren peopos all ova da world bout him.
Get peopo inside da world dat trus him.
God wen take him back to da awesome place inside da sky.

- Numba 1 Fo Timoty 3:16 – da Jesus Book

So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality.

Colossians 2:16-17 NLT

I used to do this.

A lot.

So wrong, so wrong.

Today’s session: 6 mile tempo run @ 9:50
Comments: The 6 mile tempo run turned into a half marathon tempo run this being my final vacation/run day on the Big Island. I did try and follow the 9:50 timing though. My pinky toe has a gnarly blister – my sock must have turned…

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Galatians 5:22, 23

Funny how this passage is often read as a list of optional traits or on/off behaviors…

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Thankful there isn’t a period after strong…

A rough minute, hour, day, month, year can change or affect me – it does not change or affect HIM:

“…if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot disown himself.”

- 2 Timothy 2:13 NIV

Thankful, so thankful for that truth.
