Divine Decree concerning the South Land: Speech Five of Seven

under the BANNER of Yahweh, He speaks to this nation in the south land. A Divine Decree to follow after the slaying of the deceitful, the liars, the wrong doers and the wicked, who are even now among His people in the south and also scattered around the globe. SPEECH FIVE of SEVEN: 

Ephesians 4:13-24

[13]  until we all come to the unity of the belief and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the completeness of Messiah,

[14]  so that we should no longer be children, tossed and borne about by every wind of teaching, by the trickery of men, in cleverness, unto the craftiness of leading astray,¹ Footnote: ¹5:6, also 2 Cor. 10:5, 2 Cor. 11:3-14, Gal. 1:6-9, 2 Tim. 3:1-8, 2 Tim. 4:2-4, 2 Peter 2:2-22, Jud. vv. 10-19.

[15]  but, maintaining the truth in love, we grow up in all respects into Him who is the head, Messiah,

[16]  from whom the entire body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the working by which each part does its share, causes growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.

[17]  So this I say, and witness in the Master, that you should no longer walk as the gentiles walk,¹ in the futility of their mind, Footnote: ¹1 Cor. 12:2, and Jer. 10:2.

[18]  having been darkened in their understanding, having been estranged from the life of Elohim, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,

[19]  who, having become callous, have given themselves up to indecency, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

[20]  But you have not so learned Messiah,

[21]  if indeed you have heard Him and were taught by Him, as truth is in יהושע:

[22]  that you put off – with regard to your former way of life – the old man, being corrupted according to the desires of the deceit,

[23]  and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

[24]  and that you put on the renewed man¹ which was created according to Elohim, in righteousness and set-apartness of the truth. Footnote: ¹Rom. 8:1.

Efésiërs 4:13-24

[13]  totdat ons almal kom tot die eenheid van die geloof en van die kennis van die Seun van Elohym, tot ‘n volwasse man, tot die mate van die volle grootte van Messías;

[14]  sodat ons nie meer kinders sou wees nie wat soos golwe geslinger en heen en weer gedryf word deur elke wind van lering, deur die bedrieëry van die mense, deur sluheid om listiglik tot dwaling te bring;

[15]  maar, terwyl ons in liefde die waarheid betrag, in alles sou opgroei in Hom wat die Hoof is, naamlik Messías,

[16]  uit wie die hele liggaam—goed saamgevoeg en saamverbind deur die ondersteuning wat elke lid gee volgens die werking van elke afsonderlike deel in sy mate—die groei van die liggaam bevorder vir sy eie opbouing in liefde.

[17]  Dit sê en betuig ek dan in Jahweh, dat julle nie meer moet wandel soos die ander heidene ook wandel in die verdwaasdheid van hulle gemoed nie—

[18]  mense wat verduisterd is in die verstand en vervreemd van die lewe van Elohym deur die onkunde wat in hulle is vanweë die verharding van hulle hart;

[19]  wat ongevoelig geword het en hulle oorgegee het aan die ongebondenheid om in hebsug allerhande onreinheid te bedrywe.

[20]  Maar julle het Messías nie so leer ken nie,

[21]  as julle ten minste van Hom gehoor het en in Hom onderrig is soos die waarheid is in Jahwehshua:

[22]  dat julle, wat die vorige lewenswandel betref die oue mens moet aflê wat deur die begeerlikhede van die verleiding te gronde gaan,

[23]  en dat julle vernuwe moet word in die gees van julle gemoed

[24]  en julle met die nuwe mens moet beklee wat na Elohym geskape is in ware geregtigheid en heiligheid.
