Ephesians 6 Expanded Greek

 

We don't do expanded greek here...we do the KJV. No matter how many times we tell folks it seems someone wants to come along and try the republic's rules. Why don't you just correct your post with the KJV and not attempt to make an issue about it?

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

not only to the good and gentle,

 

but also to the froward."

Christ as a light, illumine and guide me
Christ as a sheild, over shadow me
Christ underneath, Christ over me
Christ beside, on my left and my right

This day be within and without me
Lowly and meek yet all powerful
Be in my heart, I reach to Him in my speech
In the dark who speak unto me

This day be within and without me
Lowly and meek yet all powerful

Christ as light, Christ as a sheild
Christ beside me
On my left and my right.

Psalm 53 King James Version (KJV)

53 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

God looked down from heaven

           upon the children of men,

to see if there were any that did understand,

that did seek God."

Scripture quotes are always best! Maybe I'll start another thread 'A Scripture Today How It Moved You.' (moved as in influenced, provoked, motivated, encouraged).

There are many more devotional times of late when I'm so overwhelmed by God's personal revelation of a verse for me that it overflows and runs down my cheeks. Not a quote just truth.

A different perspective:

“Ask any person who was chronically ill or disabled before the pandemic how life changed for them during the pandemic and we can’t say it changed as much as the average “healthy” person’s life did. We were already used to being at home. We were already painfully adjusted to missing events. Eventually, you stop missing certain things and accept the home life because you have to adapt to your new normal or you will go insane with grief from your life’s lost possibilities. My husband and I had hoped that healthy, mobile Americans would look beyond themselves and protect others while protecting themselves. There was also the vague hope that they would better understand the limited lives of their fellow ill or disabled Americans. Instead, we realized a new cold, hard truth: Most Americans wouldn’t know how to survive being hindered by illness or disability. They can’t adapt to inconvenience.
