1CHRONICLES 7:
Yesterday we heard about Levite and priestly
genealogies and their allotment of towns. The pace quickens as
today we hear of six tribes.
PROVERBS 16b:
Today’s highlighted verse is this:
Pro. 16:18 GNT Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall.
EPHESIANS 6:
This
is another chapter break that interrupts the flow. Yesterday we
started a new topic with the words “submit to one another out of
reverence for Christ.” We have heard about the husband-wife
relationship under this, and now we hear of two more relationship
pairs.
GNT Translation notes:
Eph. 6:1 Children, it is your
[duty as the Lord’s followers//Christian duty] to obey your
parents, for this is the right thing to do. [The
command,]
4
Parents, do not treat your children in such a way as to make them
[bitter//angry]. Instead, raise them with [the discipline and
instruction approved by the Lord//Christian discipline and
instruction].
16 At all times carry [belief in
Christ//faith] as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out
all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.
23
[Dear brothers and sisters, my prayer is that//May] God the Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ give [you peace, love and full belief//to
all Christians peace and love with faith].
