JESUS, OUR HIGH PRIEST FOREVER:

Part 12.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 8:4,6-7]

4. If then He were still living on earth, He would not be a priest at all, for there are (already priests) who offer the gifts in accordance with the Law. 

6. But as it now is, He (Christ) Has acquired a (priestly) ministry which is as much superior and more excellent (than the old) as the covenant (the agreement) of which He is the Mediator (the Arbiter, Agent) is superior and more excellent, (because) it is enacted and rests upon more important (sublimer, higher, and nobler) promises. 

7. For if that first covenant had been without defect, there would have been no room for another one or an attempt to institute another one. 

(God willing and by His marvellous grace and mercy, I will share with you again tomorrow)

Gedeelte 12.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Hebreërs 8:4,6-7]

4. Want as Hy op aarde was, sou Hy selfs geen priester wees nie, omdat daar priesters is wat volgens die Wet die gawes offer. 

6. Maar nou het Hy 'n voortrefliker bediening verkry vir sover Hy ook Middelaar is van 'n beter verbond wat op beter beloftes wettelik gegrond is. 

7. Want as daardie eerste een onberispelik was, sou daar nie plek vir 'n tweede gesoek word nie.

JESUS, OUR HIGH PRIEST FOREVER:

Part 11.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 8:1-3]

1. Now the main point of what we have to say is this: We have such a High Priest, One Who is seated at the right hand of the Majestic (God) in heaven. (Also read Psalm 110:1)

2. As officiating Priest, a Minister in the  holy places and in the true tabernacle which is erected not by man but by the Lord. 

3. For every high priest is appointed to offer up gifts and sacrifices; so it is essensial for this (High Priest) to have some offering to make also. 

(God willing and by His marvellous grace and mercy I will share with you again tomorrow.)

JESUS, ONS HOËPRIESTER VIR EWIG:

Gedeelte 11.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Hebreërs 8:1-3]

1. Die hoofsaak nou van wat ons gesê het, is dít: Ons het so 'n Hoëpriester wat gaan sit het aan die regterhand van die troon van die Majesteit in die hemele. (Lees ook Psalm 110:1)

2. 'n Bediener van die heilige dinge en van die ware tabernakel wat die Here opgerig het en nie 'n mens nie.

3. Want elke hoëpriester word aangestel om gawes en offers te bring. Daarom moes Hy ook iets hê om te offer.

Part 10.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 7:26-28]

26. [Here is] the High Priest [perfectly adapted] to our needs, as was fitting—holy, blameless, unstained by sin, separated from sinners, and exalted higher than the heavens. 

27. He has no day by day necessity, as [do each of these other] high priests, to offer sacrifice first of all for his own [personal] sins and then for those of the people, because He [met all the requirements] once for all when He brought Himself [as a sacrifice] which He offered up. 

28. For the Law sets up men in their weakness [frail, sinful, dying human beings] as high priests, but the word of [God’s] oath, which [was spoken later] after the institution of the Law, [chooses and appoints as priest One whose appointment is complete and permanent], a Son Who has been made perfect forever.

26. Want so 'n Hoëpriester was vir ons gepas, Een wat heilig, onskuldig, onbesmet, afgeskeie van die sondaars, en wat Hoër as die hemele geword het;

27. Wat nie elke dag nodig het, soos die hoëpriesters, om eers vir sy eie sondes offers te bring, en dan vir die van die volk nie, want dit het Hy net een maal gedoen toe Hy Homself geoffer het.

28. Want die wet stel as hoëpriesters aan mense met swakhede, maar die woord van die eedswering wat ná die wet gekom het stel die Seun aan, wat vir ewig volmaak is.

JESUS, OUR HIGH PRIEST FOREVER: 

Part 9.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 7:23-25]

23. (Again, the former successive line of priests) was made up of many, because they were each prevented by death from continuing (perpetually in office); 

24. But He (Jesus) holds His Priesthood unchangeably, because He lives forever.

25. Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost, (completely, perfectly, finally and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God, and intercede with Him, and intervene for them. 

(God willing and by His wonderful grace and mercy, I will share with you again tomorrow.)

23. En hulle het wel priesters geword in 'n groot aantal, omdat hulle deur die dood verhinder is om aan te bly;

24. Maar Hy, omdat Hy vir ewig bly, besit 'n Priesterskap wat nie op ander oorgaan nie. 

25. Daarom kan Hy ook volkome red die wat deur Hom tot God gaan, omdat Hy altyd leef om vir hulle in te tree.

JESUS, OUR HIGH PRIEST FOREVER:

Part 8.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 7:20-22]

20. And it was not without the taking of an oath (that Christ was made Priest).

21. For those who formerly became priests received their office without its being confirmed by the taking of an oath by God, but this One was designated and addressed and saluted with an oath:

"The Lord Has sworn and will not regret it or change His mind. 'You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.'" 

(Also refer to Psalm 110, especially verse 4.)

22. In keeping with (the oath's greater strength and force), Jesus Has thus become the Guarantee of a better (stronger) agreement (a more excellent and more advantageous covenant).

20. En vir sover dit nie sonder eedswering was nie - want hulle het sonder eedswering priesters geword -

21. Maar Hy (Jesus), met eedswering deur die Een wat aan Hom gesê het: "Die Here het gesweer en dit sal Hom nie berou nie: 'U is Priester vir ewig volgens die orde van Melgesédek'"

22. In sover dus, het Jesus van 'n beter verbond borg geword.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 7:17-19]

17. For it is witnessed of Him, (that the Father said: "You are a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

18. So a previous physical regulation and command is cancelled, because of the weakness and ineffectedness and uselessness -

19. For the law never made anything perfect - but in stead a better hope is introduced through which we (now) come close to God.

17. Want Hy (die Vader) getuig: "U is Priester vir ewig, volgens die orde van Melgisédek."

18. Want aan die een kant is daar die opheffing van die voorafgaande gebod weens die swakheid en nutteloosheid daarvan,

19. Omdat die wet niks volkome gemaak het nie; maar aan die ander kant is daar die invoering van 'n beter hoop waardeur ons tot God nader.

JESUS, OUR HIGH PRIEST FOREVER: 

Part 6.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 7:13-16]

13. For the One of Whom these things are said belonged (not to the priestly line but) to another tribe, no member of which has officiated at the altar. 

14. For it is obvious that our Lord sprang from the tribe of Judah, and Moses mentioned nothing about priests in connection with that tribe. 

15. And this becomes more plainly evident when another Priest arises Who bears the likeness of Melchizedek.

16. Who has been constituted a Priest, not on the basis of a bodily legal requirement (an externally imposed command concerning His physical ancestry), but on the basis of the power of an endless and indestructable Life.

(God willing and by His grace I will share with you again tomorrow.)

JESUS, ONS HOËPRIESTER VIR EWIG:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Hebreërs 7:13-16]

13. Omdat Hy met die oog op Wie hierdie dinge gesê word, aan 'n ander stam behoort het waaruit niemand die altaar bedien het nie. 

14. Want dit is volkome duidelik dat onse Here uit Juda voortgespruit het, en met betrekking tot hierdie stam het Moses niks gesê van priesterskap nie. 

15. En nog baie duideliker is dit as daar 'n ander Priester opstaan na die ewebeeld van Melgisédek.  

16. Een wat dit geword het nie kragtens die wet van 'n vleeslike gebod nie, maar uit die krag van 'n onvernietigbare Lewe.

JESUS, OUR HIGH PRIEST FOREVER:

Part 5.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Hebrews 7:11-12]

11. Now if perfection (a perfect fellowship between God and the worshiper) had been attainable by the Levitical priesthood - for under it the people were given the Law - why was it further necessary that there should arise another and different kind of Priest, one after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one apppointed after the order and rank of Aaron?

12. For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is of necessity an alteration of the law (concerning the priesthood) as well. 

(God willing and by His grace I will share with you again tomorrow).

JESUS, ONS HOËPRIESTER VIR EWIG:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Hebreërs 7:11-12]

11. As daar dan volkomenheid deur die Levitiese priesterskap was -- want met die oog daarop het die volk die wet ontvang -- waarom was dit nog nodig dat 'n ander Priester moes opstaan volgens die orde van Melgisédek, en dat hy dit nie volgens die orde van Aäron (priester) genoem word nie?

12. Want met verandering van die priesterskap kom daar noodsaaklik ook verandering van wet;

5. And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;

6. But He whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

5. Nou het hulle wat uit die seuns van Levi die priesterskap ontvang, wel 'n gebod om, volgens die wet, van die volk tiendes te neem, dit is van hulle broers, ofskoon hulle uit die lendene van Abraham voortgekom het;

6. Maar Hy wat nie uit húlle Sy geslagsregister aflei nie, het van Abraham tiendes geneem en die besitter van die beloftes geseën.

3. Sonder vader, sonder moeder, sonder geslagsregister, sonder begin van dae of lewenseinde, maar gelyk gestel aan die Seun van God, bly Hy Priester altyddeur.

14. Saying: "Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you."

15. And so, after he (Abraham), had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 

16. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

14. En gesê: "Voorwaar Ek sal jou ryklik seën en jou grootliks vermeerder."

15. En so het hy (Abraham), die belofte verkry nadat hy geduldig gewag het. 

16. Want mense sweer by een wat meer is, en die eed van bevestiging is vir hulle die einde van alle teëspraak.

17. Daarom het God omdat Hy nog kragtiger aan die erfgename van die belofte die onveranderlikheid van Sy raad wou toon, dit met 'n eed gewaarborg.

JESUS, OUR EXAMPLE IN HUMILITY / JESUS, ONS VOORBEELD IN NEDERIGHEID.

JESUS, OUR EXAMPLE IN HUMILITY:

Part 2.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version) 

[Philippians 2:8-11]

8. And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself (still further) and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

9. Therefore, [because He stooped so low] God Has highly exalted Him and Has freely bestowed on Him the Name that is above every Name,

10. That in (at) the Name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. 

11. And every tongue (frankly and openly) confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

JESUS, ONS VOORBEELD IN NEDERIGHEID:

2. Afrikaans (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Filippense 2:8-11]

8. En in gedaante gevind as 'n mens, het Hy Homself verneder deur gehoorsaam te word tot die dood toe, ja, die dood van die kruis. 

9. Daarom het God Hom ook uitermate verhoog en Hom 'n Naam gegee wat bo elke Naam is,

10. Sodat in die Naam van Jesus sou buig elke knie van die wat in die hemel en die wat op die aarde en die wat onder die aarde is,

11. En elke tong sou bely dat Jesus Christus die Here is tot heerlikheid van God die Vader.

JESUS, OUR EXAMPLE IN HUMILITY: 

Part 1.

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version).

[Philippians 2:4-7]

4. Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not (merely) his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. 

5. Let the same attitude and purpose and (humble) mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: (Let Him be your example in humility):

6. Who, although being essentially One with God and in the form of God (possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God), did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained -

7. But stripped Himself (of all privileges and rightful dignity) so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), so that He became like men and was born a human being.

By the will of God and through His grace, part 2 will follow tomorrow.

JESUS, ONS VOORBEELD IN NEDERIGHEID:

Gedeelte 1.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afikaanse Vertaling)

[Filippense 2:4-7]

4. Julle moet nie elkeen na sy eie belange omsien nie, maar elkeen ook na die ander s'n. 

5. Want hierdie gesindheid moet in julle wees wat ook in Christus Jesus was. 

6. Hy, wat in die gestalte van God was, het dit geen roof geag om aan God gelyk te wees nie -

7. Maar het Homself ontledig deur die gestalte van 'n dienskneg aan te neem en aan die mense gelyk geword;

LOVE, THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY / DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE.

7 October 2013. 

LOVE, THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY:

Part 2.

1. English - (NIV Translation)

[1 Corinthians 13:8:13]

8. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.  

9. For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

10. But when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.  

11. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 

12. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face.  Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 

13. And now these three remain: faith hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 

7 Oktober 2013. 

DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE:

Gedeelte 2.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[1 Korinthiërs 13:8-13]

8. Die liefde vergaan nimmermeer; maar profesië - hulle sal tot niet gaan; of tale - hulle sal ophou; of kennis - dit sal tot niet gaan. 

9. Want ons ken ten dele en ons profeteer ten dele.  

10. Maar as die Volmaakte gekom het, dan sal wat ten dele is, tot niet gaan. 

11. Toe ek 'n kind was, het ek gepraat soos 'n kind, gedink soos 'n kind, geredeneer soos 'n kind; maar nou dat ek 'n man is, het ek die dinge van 'n kind afgelê. 

12. Want nou sien ons deur 'n spieël in 'n raaisel, maar eendag van aangesig tot aangesig. Nou ken ek ten dele, maar eendag sal ek ten volle ken, net soos ek ten volle geken is. 

13. En nou bly geloof, hoop, liefde - hierdie drie; maar die grootste hiervan is die liefde.

LOVE, THE MORE EXCELLENT WAY / DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE.

6 October 2013. 

LOVE, THE MOST EXCELLENT WAY:

Part 1.

1. English - (NIV Translation)

[1 Corinthians 13:1-7]

1. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 

2. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 

3. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 

5. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 

6. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. 

7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 

(God willing, and with His grace,

part 2 will follow tomorrow.)

6 Oktober 2013. 

DIE UITNEMENDHEID VAN DIE LIEFDE:

Gedeelte 1.

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[1 Korinthiërs 13:1-7]

1. Al sou ek die taal van mense en engele spreek, en ek het nie die liefde nie, dan het ek 'n klinkende metaal of 'n luidende simbaal geword. 

2. En al sou ek die gawe van profesie hê en al die geheimenisse weet en al die kennis, en al sou ek al die geloof hê, sodat ek berge kon versit, en ek het nie die liefde nie, dan sou ek niks wees nie. 

3. En al sou ek al my goed uitdeel, en al sou ek my liggaam oorgee om verbrand te word, en ek het nie die liefde nie, dan sou dit my niks baat nie. 

4. Die liefde is lankmoedig en vriendelik; die liefde is nie jaloers nie; die liefde praat nie groot nie, is nie opgeblase nie,

5. Handel nie onwelvoeglik nie, soek nie sy eie belang nie, word nie verbitterd nie, reken die kwaad nie toe nie,

6. Is nie bly oor die ongeregtigheid nie, maar is bly saam met die waarheid. 

7. Dit bedek alles, glo alles, hoop alles, verdra alles.

THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / HULLE IS VERVUL MET DIE HEILIGE GEES.

1 October 2013

THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

[Acts 2:2-4,6-8]

2. When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting. 

3. And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them. 

4. And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them, clear and loud expression (in each tongue in appropriate words).

6. And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together and they were astonished and bewildered, because each one heard them (the apostles) speaking in his own (particular) dialect. 

7. And they were beside themselves with amazement, saying: "Are not all these who are talking Galileans?"

4. En hulle is almal vervul met die Heilige Gees en het begin spreek in ander tale, soos die Gees aan hulle gegee het om uit te spreek. 

6. En toe hierdie geluid kom, het die menigte saamgestroom en was in die war, want elkeen het gehoor hoe hulle in sy eie taal spreek;

7. En hulle was almal verbaas en verwonderd en sê vir mekaar: "Is almal wat daar spreek, dan nie Galileërs nie?"

8. "En hoe hoor ons hulle, elkeen in ons eie taal waarin ons gebore is?"
