We know Paul wrote Romans in Corinth because he mentions Phoebe. Phoebe was a deacon of the church in Cenchreae, a port to the east of Corinth. Erastus, mentioned in Romans 16:23,also lived in Corinth, being the city's commissioner for public works and city treasurer. Written in exactly the timeline of Paul and his travels. Within 55 AD to 57 AD.
Papyrus 46 enters the brand-new debate on verb usage and is in the University of Michigan's Library System for decades, as first century written. Clear, legible and preserved as Precious Word of God. Definitely, Papyrus 46 was being carefully transported during the long life of John, The Beloved Disciple of Jesus.
Deuteronomy 31:8
c 1200 BC
The LORD Himself goes before you
and will be with you;
He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged.
Romans 15:4-13
For whatever was written in former days
was written for our instruction
That through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
8 For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, 9 and in order that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy. As it is written,
“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,
and sing to your name.”
10 And again it is said,
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
11 And again,
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol Him.”
12 And again Isaiah says,
“The root of Jesse will come,
even He who arises to rule the Gentiles;
in Him will the Gentiles hope.”
13 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.
John 1
48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?”
Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”
51 And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending
and descending on the Son of Man.”
Abba, Father,
Dwell in us,
Give us Your Blessing, we ask.
Let the Joy we have in You
be our Strength.
In Jesus, we want Your help to seek You first.
And we will finish well in Jesus Christ!
For my family.
For all families and our Christmas 2023
to be remembered as a season of hope
endurance and encouragement
our voice, to glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Rejoice
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.
In this day,
we will make Requests of Jesus.
In the Holy Name of Jesus,
We pray all those who have been
strengthened and encouraged
during the Pandemic
in their faith,
Will Remain in Your Joy and Love.
We Pray for this Nation
and the turbulence we see
we pray for truth.
We pray for Israel and Ukraine
and the end of Pandemic recovery, the ongoing struggles to cease.
We pray for Strength.
We pray for our families
not to accept the unacceptable
for their Children.
A Nation protects their Children.
Now to Father God,
Who is able to do far more abundantly
than all that we ask or think,
according to the power at work within us,
to Him be glory in the Church and
in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations,
forever and ever.
Amen.
