Being Lowered and Raised.

Being lowered and raised

5 For he hath not subdued the world to come, whereof we speak.

6 But who is he that testifieth, saying, What is man, that thou shouldest remember him?

7 Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels: thou hast set a crown of glory and honor upon his head. You gave him authority over the works of your hands,

8 Thou hast subdued all things under his feet. For he has put all things in subjection under him, and he has left nothing that is not subject to him. But so far we do not see everything under him.

9 But we see Jesus, who was made inferior to the angels for a short time, having been crowned with glory and honor for suffering death, that by the grace of God every man might taste of death.

10 For whom and by whom all things were accomplished, it was fitting for him that the Son of man should be glorified, and that his Son should be the Savior of many.

11 For he that sanctifieth, and they that are sanctified, are all of one. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers.

12 But he saith, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, and I will praise thee in the synagogues.

13 And then he says I will trust him. And then, me and the children that God has given me.

14 For as the children are partakers of the flesh and of the flesh, so he himself is also partakers of them, that, through death, he might destroy him that has the power of death, the devil.

15 And deliver them that through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For he helpeth not the angels, but the seed of Abraham.

17 That he might be like his brethren in all things, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God.

18 For when he himself was tempted and suffered, then he can help them that are tempted.

Preaching of the Apostles in Cyprus

4 Both were sent by the Holy Spirit to Seleucia. And from there by ship to the island of Cyprus.
Acts 13: 4

5 When Barnabas and Saul came to the city of Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. John Mark was there to help them.
Acts 13: 5

6 And when they had passed through the whole island, they came to Paphos. In the city of Paphos, he met a Jewish man who practiced magic. His name was Bereasus. He was a false prophet.
Acts 13: 6

7 Briasus was always close to Sergius Paulus, the governor. Sergius Paulus was a wise man. He invited Barnabas and Saul to his house because he wanted to hear the word of the Lord.
Acts 13: 7

8 But the sorcerer Ilmas (the Greek name for Ilmas Bereasum) was against them. Ilmas tried to stop the governor from acknowledging his faith.
Acts 13: 8

9 But Saul was full of the Holy Spirit (Saul is also called Paul). Paul looked at Elmas.
Acts 13: 9

10 And said, Thou, O son of the devil, is the enemy of every good thing. You are full of evil and lies. You have always turned the Lord’s truth into falsehood.
Acts 13:10

11 Now the Lord will touch you and make you blind. For a while you will not be able to see anything, not even the light of the sun. ”Then everything went dark for Elmas, and he looked around for someone to take his hand and lead him.
Acts 13:11

12 When the governor saw what had happened, he was amazed and believed the word of the Lord.
Acts 13:12

Make others happy, not yourself

1 Let those of us who are strong in our faith help the weak. We must help them overcome their weaknesses. We must not please ourselves.
Romans 15: 1

2 Each of us should please others. We must do this to help strengthen their faith.
Romans 15: 2

3 Even Christ never lived to please himself. As the Scriptures say about him, “The humiliation of those who humiliated you has fallen on me.”
Romans 15: 3

4 Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. These things were written so that we might have hope. And that hope comes from patience and the strength that the scriptures give us.
Romans 15: 4

5 Wherefore endurance and strength come from God, that God may help you to be in the same way, even as Christ Jesus.
Romans 15: 5

6 Then you will all come together and praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mouth.
Romans 15: 6
