Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to the holy ones who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 1:1 LSV

Strangely, the oldest manuscript of Ephesians doesn't say "who are in Ephesus" in the salutation. Whether that's a problem with that manuscript or a problem with later manuscripts is an interesting question, but doesn't change the meaning of the Epistle.

#proverbs 10:4-5 describes the outcome of hard work and laziness. There are three important truths that we can learn from this passage.

[Matthew 5:19-20] Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

[Revelation 14:12] Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.”

[Ecclesiastes 12:13] This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

[Hebrews 10:28] A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses.

Be patient with yourself and others who don’t know better…It takes all of these things aligning just right in our lives to get the victory over our vain beliefs. Some people have only experienced one or two of these key needs and therefore can’t conquer their customs or even see a cause for trying.

Remember, who someone truly is not who they are now but who they were, are, and will be. If there’s a difference between who they were and are the result of that’s their choices and those around them before now. Who they will be in the future will be the result of their choices and those of the ones around them now. If you see someone who is not as they should be and could be (who doesn’t know any better as yet) you have the chance to be the person who could help them get there or elsewise you could be the reason they revert to old hurts and heathenways.

It took you passing through many terrors and much trouble to come to see your cherished ways as pagan and put them away. Others have not experienced the same things you needed to wake you from dreaming.

Therefore, be gentle with the sleepers.

But with those who do know better, with the wakeful pagans in the pastorate, with these heathen preachers keeping people sleeping and satisfied with lies and leftovers, with these be harsh. With monsters preying upon innocent people be merciless. With the madness of the times and her evil teachers be a holy terror.

And be mindful of the difference between the sleepers and the savages. The one must not be mistaken for the other nor ever treated like the other.

(Disclaimer for those who will need to apply their own context to the above: a call to be harsh and cruel to lying theologians is no call for physical violence. This should go without saying but alas it’s often easier for people to decide your words mean whatever mean thing they imagine they mean in their own mind…)
