Recommended: Exegetical focus statement on Philippians 2: 1-11

The book of Philippians was written by apostle Paul, while he was in prison. There are multiple different translations for the bible, the fact that there are so many English Bible translations is both a blessing and a problem. It is a blessing having the Word of God available to anyone who needs it in an easy to understand translation. Philippians 4:13 has many translations that may cause some people to be confused about what the word is trying to portray.
It is hard to extinguish which of the translations convey the message the best, there are many opinions of the different translations. In my opinion the version that portrays the message the best is the New International Version “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” “This verse is often used by Christian athletes when they win a game, or event.” (Jared Moore) In my opinion Philippians 4:13 to me means that if there is Christ in your life you will have the strength to do all things. Whether at your highest high in life or the lowest low, you will have the strength given to you …show more content…

The Roman government in the first century A.D saw several horrific and inhumane rulers who killed and tortured people. It is easy for one to look at horrible rulers and think of every way possible to defy the government. But, Paul tells his reader in Romans 13 that man is supposed to be subject to the governing authorities. Paul says that a ruler is “God’s servant to do you good.” Why is Paul saying that we should be subject to the government even if the government is corrupt and against God?

Therefore, Paul offers courage to the believers and the task that encouragement. For in (v.7) Paul expresses having faith in the promises of God and not on what he sees then, he illiterates again in verse 8, about the courage which he has while expressing his desire to be with the Lord. Paul can face the afflictions upon his body by the ministry because he is “confident that God will supply a superior replacement for [his body].” (Barrett 158).

Many people, both scholars and the average citizen, read the whole Bible several times throughout their life. People read the same verses over and over, but still manage to reap a different meaning each time. Despite being written by men, the Bible is God’s inspired Word and is our best way to get to know Him. One of God’s chosen authors, Paul, wrote the book of Romans as a letter to believers, Jewish and Gentiles alike, in Rome towards the end of his third missionary journey (Cartwright and Hulshof). As Paul teaches the Gospel in Romans 1-8, he begins to shape a theistic worldview that relates to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.

The book of Galatians contains some of Paul's most impetuous theological reasoning. We get a glimpse of Paul in a mode of impulsive reflex assembling theological arguments to influence the corporate and personal life of the Galatians Christians in a situation that deeply disturbed him. The Christians to whom Paul wrote were Gentiles. They had affectionately received Paul and his message at an earlier date and as a consequence of Paul's ministry, the Galatians had a profound experience of the spirit that instilled in them a hardy sense of Christian identity that continued for some time. Paul left the Galatians to preach the gospel elsewhere, and during his time away from the Galatians, he received word that a group of Jewish Christian evangelist

Boyce 2Old Testament24 April 2018Personal Exegesis - The Realm (Romans 8:9-17 NIV)With over fifty occurrences within scripture, there is a unique emphasis on a word used heavily by older word-for-word Bible translations, such as the King James Version. This specific word, meaning “memshala” in phonic Hebrew, is spoken in English as “realm.” Common synonyms for this word include: rule, dominion, province, kingdom. The definition is best described by a passage within the eighth chapter of the book of Romans. “You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.

Her posture and demeanor reflect confidence of her personality and womanhood.

Because of his attribution to the New Testament as writing 13 books in the total of 27 books, Paul even considered himself “as little more than an ambassador or emissary for Jesus” (Powell, 231). Paul is the person who had oppressed the church. After that, on the road to Damascus, when he experienced a rendezvous with Jesus, he became a Christian missionary. Discussing particular theological issues, Paul’s epistles are written to a specific person or a specific group of people. Paul’s epistles are to Romans, two to Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, two to Thessalonians, two to Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.

Paul’s pneumatology found in his writings has been a matter of interest in recent New Testament scholarship. Gordon Fee has been a great contributor in this area and in Paul, the Spirit and the People of God he outlines the various elements found in Pauline pneumatology giving us greater insight into this subject. In this paper I will highlight some of these elements that are unique to Paul and are not found in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts. The first distinctive of Pauline pneumatology is the way he sees the Spirit as God’s personal presence. For Paul, the coming of the Spirit meant that God had fulfilled the promises He had made to Jeremiah and Ezekiel when He said, ‘I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel’ (Jer. 31:31), and
