In Romans, Part 31<\/em><\/a> I related Paul\u2019s statement\u2014if you live according to the flesh, you will die<\/em>1<\/sup><\/a>\u2014to Jesus\u2019 saying to Martha\u2014The one who believes in me will live even if he dies<\/em>.2<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 This connection was new to me, so I thought it deserved a little more study.\u00a0 In the past I would have related Jesus\u2019 saying to Martha (John 11:25<\/a>, 26 NET<\/a>) to the mystery Paul expounded (1 Corinthians 15:51-53 NET):<\/p>\n

I went to this trouble because in the definition of \u03c8\u03c5\u03c7\u03ae<\/a> in Strong\u2019s Concordance (the next word I want to consider) \u03b6\u03c9\u03ae<\/a> (zoe<\/em>) is described as \u201cmere vitality<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 That may be true of \u03b6\u03c9\u03ae<\/a> in Greek generally.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 It is clearly not true of \u03b6\u03c9\u03ae<\/a> as used in the New Testament, except perhaps eight times.\u00a0 It may be generally true of the verb \u03b6\u03ac\u03c9<\/a> even in the New Testament.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t check that closely.\u00a0 I am suggesting that \u03b6\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a> (another form of \u03b6\u03ac\u03c9<\/a>) in The one who believes in me will live even if he dies<\/em>11<\/sup><\/a> means the resurrected life<\/em> that Martha believed in and Jesus claimed to be.\u00a0 And I am also suggesting that \u03b6\u1ff6\u03bd<\/a> (another form of \u03b6\u03ac\u03c9<\/a>) in the one who lives and believes in me will never die<\/em>12<\/sup><\/a> means the new life<\/em> that Jesus claimed to be and Paul described as being led by the Spirit of God<\/em>.13<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

I had the most difficulty with 1 John 5:16 (NET)<\/a>, whether John meant mere vitality<\/em> or not: If anyone sees his fellow Christian <\/em>(\u1f00\u03b4\u03b5\u03bb\u03c6\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03b4\u03b5\u03bb\u03c6\u03cc\u03c2<\/a>) committing a sin not resulting in death <\/em>(\u03b8\u1f71\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b8\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>), he should ask, and God will grant<\/em> (\u03b4\u1f7d\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u03b4\u03af\u03b4\u03c9\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>) life<\/em> (\u03b6\u03c9\u1f75\u03bd<\/a>, another form of \u03b6\u03c9\u03ae<\/a>) to the person who commits a sin not resulting in death <\/em>(\u03b8\u1f71\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b8\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>). \u00a0There is a sin resulting in death<\/em> (\u03b8\u1f71\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b8\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>). \u00a0I do not say that he should ask about that<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the movie \u201cMeet Joe Black<\/a>\u201d Anthony Hopkins<\/a>\u2019 character Bill Parrish instinctively restrained Brad Pitt\u2019s<\/a> character Death from stepping off the curb into traffic.\u00a0 It is an ironic and humorous moment since the body Death took was killed in traffic, standing in the middle of the street longing for another glimpse of Bill\u2019s daughter Susan, and because Death had just bragged about how much beyond Bill\u2019s comprehension the work of Death was.\u00a0 But it also displayed Bill\u2019s character, instinctively protecting the life of his nemesis simply because he appeared in form as another human being.\u00a0 I assume however that John was not talking about stepping off the curb in front of an oncoming bus as a sin resulting in death<\/em>.<\/p>\n

When the Pharisees accused Him of casting out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons<\/em>,14<\/sup><\/a> Jesus replied (Matthew 12:25-29a NET):<\/p>\n

Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed, and no town or house divided against itself will stand. \u00a0So if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself.\u00a0 How then will his kingdom stand? \u00a0And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out?\u00a0 For this reason they will be your judges. \u00a0But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has already overtaken you. \u00a0How else can someone enter a strong man\u2019s house and steal his property, unless he first ties up the strong man? [Table<\/a>]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then Jesus warned, people will be forgiven <\/em>(\u1f00\u03c6\u03b5\u03b8\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03c6\u03af\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>) for every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven<\/a> <\/em>(\u1f00\u03c6\u03b5\u03b8\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03c6\u03af\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>) [Table<\/a>]. \u00a0Whoever<\/em>15<\/sup><\/a> speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven <\/em>(\u1f00\u03c6\u03b5\u03b8\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03c6\u03af\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>).\u00a0 But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven <\/em>(\u1f00\u03c6\u03b5\u03b8\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03c6\u03af\u03b7\u03bc\u03b9<\/a>), either in this<\/em>16<\/sup><\/a> age or in the age to come<\/em>.17<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 This, I think, is what John meant by a sin resulting in death<\/em>.\u00a0 John continued (1 John 5:17, 18 NET):<\/p>\n

All unrighteousness is sin, but there is sin not resulting in death (\u03b8\u1f71\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b8\u03ac\u03bd\u03b1\u03c4\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>). \u00a0<\/em>We know that everyone fathered by God does not sin, but God protects (\u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u03b5\u1fd6<\/a>, a form of \u03c4\u03b7\u03c1\u03ad\u03c9<\/a>) <\/em>the one<\/a> he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am connecting this to the verse which precedes it.\u00a0 The new life, that life fathered by God<\/em> that does not sin\u2014Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it<\/a> but<\/a> sin that lives in me<\/em>18<\/sup><\/a>\u2014because God protects that life and the evil one cannot touch him<\/em>, is the true need of the fellow Christian committing a sin not resulting in death<\/em>.\u00a0 That life, this grace in which we stand<\/a><\/em>,19<\/sup><\/a> fueled by the credited righteousness of God<\/a>,20<\/sup><\/a> the fruit of his Spirit<\/a>,21<\/sup><\/a> is far more important than my censure, my rebuke, even my restoration in a spirit of gentleness<\/a>.22<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 And it is this life that we ask for ourselves and for all who call upon our Father whenever we pray (Matthew 6:9-13 NET):<\/p>\n

Our Father in heaven, may your name be honored, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth<\/a> as it is in heaven [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.\u00a0 Give us today our daily bread [i.e., <\/em>of life],<\/em> and forgive us our debts, as we ourselves have forgiven<\/a> our debtors [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.\u00a0 And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one<\/a> [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
