Genesis 17

Studie

   

1 At nang si Abram ay may siyam na pu't siyam na taon, ay napakita ang Panginoon kay Abram, at sa kaniya'y nagsabi, Ako ang Dios na Makapangyarihan sa lahat lumakad ka sa harapan ko, at magpakasakdal ka.

2 At ako'y makikipagtipan sa iyo at ikaw ay aking pararamihing mainam.

3 At nagpatirapa si Abram: at ang Dios ay nakipagusap sa kaniya, na sinasabi,

4 Tungkol sa akin, narito, ang aking tipan ay sumasaiyo, at ikaw ang magiging ama ng maraming bansa.

5 At hindi na tatawagin ang pangalan mong Abram, kundi Abraham ang magiging iyong pangalan; sapagka't ikaw ay ginawa kong ama ng maraming bansa.

6 At ikaw ay aking gagawing totoong palaanakin at papanggagalingin ko sa iyo ang mga bansa; at magbubuhat sa iyo ang mga hari.

7 At aking papagtitibayin ang aking tipan sa iyo at sa iyong binhi pagkamatay mo sa buong kalahian nila, na tipang walang hanggan, na ako'y magiging iyong Dios, at ng iyong binhi, pagkamatay mo.

8 At ibibigay ko sa iyo, at sa iyong binhi, pagkamatay mo, ang lupaing iyong mga pinaglakbayan, ang buong lupain ng Canaan, na pag-aaring walang hanggan at ako ang magiging Dios nila.

9 At sinabi pa ng Dios kay Abraham, At tungkol sa iyo, iingatan mo ang aking tipan, iingatan mo at ng iyong binhi pagkamatay mo, sa buong kalahian nila.

10 Ito ang aking tipan na inyong iingatan sa akin at sa inyo, at ng iyong binhi, pagkamatay mo; tutuliin ang bawa't lalake sa inyo.

11 At kayo'y tutuliin sa laman ng inyong balat ng masama; at ito ang magiging tanda ng aking tipan sa inyo.

12 At ang may walong araw ay tutuliin sa inyo, ang bawa't lalake sa buong kalahian ninyo; ang ipinanganak sa bahay, o ang binili ng salapi sa sinomang taga ibang lupa na hindi sa iyong lahi.

13 Ang ipinanganak sa bahay at ang binili ng iyong salapi, ay dapat tuliin: at ang aking tipan ay sasa iyong laman na pinakatipang walang hanggan.

14 At ang lalaking hindi tuli, na hindi tinuli ang laman ng kaniyang balat ng masama, ang taong yaon ay mahihiwalay sa kaniyang bayan; sinira niya ang aking tipan.

15 At sinabi ng Dios kay Abraham, Tungkol kay Sarai na iyong asawa, ay huwag mo nang tatawagin ang kaniyang pangalang Sarai, kundi Sara ang magiging kaniyang pangalan.

16 At akin siyang pagpapalain, at saka sa kaniya'y bibigyan kita ng anak: oo, siya'y aking pagpapalain, at magiging ina ng mga bansa; ang mga hari ng mga bayan ay magmumula sa kaniya.

17 Nang magkagayo'y nagpatirapa si Abraham, at nagtawa, at nasabi sa kaniyang sarili, Magkakaanak kaya siya na may isang daang taon na? at manganak pa kaya si Sara na may siyam na pung taon na?

18 At sinabi ni Abraham sa Dios, Kahimanawari, si Ismael ay mabuhay sa harapan mo!

19 At sinabi ng Dios, Hindi, kundi ang iyong asawang si Sara ay magkakaanak sa iyo; at tatawagin mo ang kaniyang ngalang Isaac; at aking pagtitibayin ang aking tipan sa kaniya ng pinakatipang walang hanggan, sa kaniyang lahi pagkamatay niya.

20 At tungkol kay Ismael, ay dininig din kita. Narito't aking pinagpala siya, at siya'y aking papagaanakin ng marami, at siya'y aking pararamihin ng di kawasa; labing dalawang prinsipe ang kaniyang magiging anak, at siya'y gagawin kong malaking bansa.

21 Nguni't ang aking tipan ay pagtitibayin ko kay Isaac na iaanak sa iyo ni Sara, sa tadhanang araw, sa taong darating.

22 At nang matapos na makipagusap sa kaniya, ay napaitaas ang Dios mula sa piling ni Abraham.

23 At ipinagsama ni Abraham si Ismael, na kaniyang anak, at ang lahat na ipinanganak sa kaniyang bahay, at ang lahat ng binili niya ng kaniyang salapi, ang lahat ng lalake sa mga lalaking kasangbahay ni Abraham, at tinuli ang laman ng kanilang balat ng masama ng araw ding yaon, ayon sa sinabi ng Dios sa kaniya.

24 At si Abraham ay may siyam na pu't siyam na taon, nang tuliin ang laman ng kaniyang balat ng masama.

25 At si Ismael ay may labing tatlong taon, nang tuliin ang laman ng kaniyang balat ng masama.

26 Nang araw ding yaon tinuli si Abraham, at si Ismael na kaniyang anak.

27 At lahat ng lalaking kasangbahay niya, maging ang mga ipinanganak sa bahay, at ang mga binili ng salapi sa taga ibang lupain, ay pinagtuling kasama niya.

Apocalypse Explained # 751

751. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.- That this signifies the salvation and consequent joy of those who become spiritual by the reception of Divine Truth, is evident from the signification of rejoicing, as denoting joy on account of salvation; from the signification of the heavens, as denoting those who are spiritual (concerning which we shall speak presently); and from the signification of ye that dwell, as denoting those who live, here spiritually. That to dwell signifies to live, may be seen above (n. 133, 479, 662). The heavens signify those who are spiritual, because all who are in the heavens are spiritual, and because men who have become spiritual are also in the heavens, although they are in the world as to the body; therefore ye that dwell in the heavens means not only angels, but also men, for every man with whom the interior mind, which is called the spiritual mind, has been opened, is in the heavens, indeed, he also sometimes appears amongst the angels there. That this is so, has not been known in the world up to the present time. It must therefore be understood, that man as to his spirit is among spirits and angels, and indeed in that society of them into which he is to come after death. The reason of this is that the spiritual mind of man is formed exactly according to the image of heaven, and in such a way that it is a heaven in least form; consequently that mind, although still in the body, must nevertheless be where its form is. But this has been more fully dealt with in Heaven and Hell 51-58), where it is shown that every angel, and also every man as to his interiors, if he be spiritual, is a heaven in its least form, corresponding to heaven in its greatest form. For this reason where the Word treats of the creation of heaven and earth, the internal and external church is in general meant, and, in particular, the internal and external man, that is the spiritual and natural man. From these things it is evident that the heavens and those that dwell in them signify all who are there, and also those men who are becoming spiritual by the reception of Divine Truth in doctrine and life.

John 13

Studie

   

1 Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

2 During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,

3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God,

4 arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.

5 Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

6 Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"

7 Jesus answered him, "You don't know what I am doing now, but you will understand later."

8 Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have no part with me."

9 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"

10 Jesus said to him, "Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you."

11 For he knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean."

12 So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

13 You call me, 'Teacher' and 'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am.

14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

16 Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him.

17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

18 I don't speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen. But that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.'

19 From now on, I tell you before it happens, that when it happens, you may believe that I am he.

20 Most certainly I tell you, he who receives whomever I send, receives me; and he who receives me, receives him who sent me."

21 When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, "Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me."

22 The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.

23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus' breast.

24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

25 He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus' breast, asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

26 Jesus therefore answered, "It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

27 After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

28 Now no man at the table knew why he said this to him.

29 For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, "Buy what things we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Therefore, having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.

31 When he had gone out, Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him.

32 If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him immediately.

33 Little children, I will be with you a little while longer. You will seek me, and as I said to the Jews, 'Where I am going, you can't come,' so now I tell you.

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

36 Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered, "where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards."

37 Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

38 Jesus answered him, "Will you lay down your life for me? Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times.
