11 The Jews in Thessalonica had not been very willing to listen to God’s message, but the Jews who lived in Berea were very willing to listen, so they listened very eagerly to the message about Jesus. Every day they read the Scriptures for themselves to find out if what Paul said about the Messiah was true.

8,9 We left Babylon on April 8, which was the first day of the Jewish year. Because God was very kind to us, we arrived safely in Jerusalem on August 4 of that year. 10 During my entire life, I devoted myself to studying the laws of Yahweh, and how to obey those laws. I had also taught those laws and all their regulations to the Israeli people for many years.

5 You must love him with all your inner being and with all that you feel and with all that you do. 6 Never forget [IDM] these commands that I am giving to you today. 7 Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them all the time: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down and when you are doing things. 8 Write them on tiny scrolls and fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads to help you to remember them. 9 Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.

18 "When he becomes your king, he must appoint someone to copy these laws. He must copy them from the scroll that is kept by the priests who are descended from Levi. 19 He must keep this new scroll near him and read from it every day of his life, in order that he may learn to revere Yahweh, and to faithfully obey [DOU] all the rules and regulations that are written in these laws. 20 If he does that, he [SYN] will not think that he is ◄better/more important► than [IDM] his fellow Israelis, and he will completely obey [LIT] Yahweh’s commands. As a result, he and his descendants will rule as kings in Israel for many years."

More advice to Solomon’s son

1 My son, do not forget what I have taught you.

Keep my commands in your inner being,

2 because if you obey them you will live a long time and things will go well for you

13 Hold fast to the things I have taught you to do,

and do not let them go.

Guard them,

because they will be the source of a good life.

23 These commands and what we teach you will be like a lamp to light your path [MET].

When we rebuke you and correct/punish you,

we will be showing you the road to having a good life.

6 It is because my people do not know about me that they will be destroyed.

And their not knowing about me is because you priests have refused to teach them about me;

so I will no longer allow you to be my priests.

You have forgotten the things that I taught you,

so I will forget to bless your children.

20 Pay attention to God’s instructions and teaching! If people do not say things that agree with what God teaches us, what they say is worthless. It is as though those people are in darkness.

24 Jesus replied to them, "You are certainly wrong [RHQ]. You do not know what they have written in the Scriptures about this. You also do not understand God’s power to make people alive again.

4 And you need to remember that what was written previously {what God’s servants previously wrote} in the Scriptures, was written {they wrote} to teach us in order that we would be patient and be encouraged by reading/believing what they wrote. If we do that, we can confidently expect God to do for us all he has promised.

17 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know about those who teach what is false, ◄guard against them/beware►. Do not let those wicked people deceive you by telling you things that are wrong, with the result that you yourselves begin to doubt what you now firmly believe. 18 Instead, live in such a manner that you experience more and more our Savior Jesus Christ being kind to you, and that you get to know him better and better.

I pray/desire that Jesus Christ will be honored both now and forever!*

10 As for those who long ago spoke messages that God had revealed to them about how God would act kindly toward you in ways which you did not deserve, they ◄investigated very carefully/tried very hard to learn► [DOU] about how God would save you. 11 They wanted to know whom the Spirit of Christ that was in them was referring to, and what time he was talking about, when he told beforehand that the Messiah would suffer and die, and that glorious/wonderful things would happen to him and to us afterwards.
