Scientific analysis of the biblical Epistles of the Apostles. Scientific line-by-line explanation of the Bible

28 And as they did not care to have God in their minds, God gave them over to a perverse mind – to do lewdness, (Talion’s rule).

29 so that they are full of all unrighteousness, fornication, deceit, covetousness, malice, filled with envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice, (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).

30 slanderers, slanderers, God-haters, abusers, self-praisers, proud, inventive for evil, disobedient to parents, (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).

31 reckless, treacherous, unloving, irreconcilable, merciless. (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).

32 They know the righteous [judgment] It is God’s law that those who do such things are worthy of death; however, not only do they do them, but they also approve of those who do them. (Criticism of «wrong» behavior).

Chapter 2

1 Therefore, you are not blameless, every person who judges [another], because by the same judgment that you judge another, you condemn yourself, because judging [another], you do the same. (Talion’s rule).

2 But we know that truly there is a judgment of God on those who do such things. (The mention of the «judgment of God», which will evaluate everything «correctly», is an analogy with the human judgment).

3 Do you really think, man, that you will escape the judgment of God by condemning those who do such things and (yourself) doing the same? (The suggestion that it is impossible for a person to avoid the «judgment of God»).

4 Or do you neglect the riches of God’s goodness, meekness, and longsuffering, not understanding that God’s goodness leads you to repentance? («Divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

5 But, according to your stubbornness and unrepentant heart, you are gathering anger for yourself on the day of wrath and the revelation of righteous judgment from God, («Divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

6 Who will reward everyone according to his deeds: (The suggestion that it is impossible for a person to avoid the «judgment of God»).

7 those who seek glory, honor and immortality by perseverance in a good deed – eternal life; (Talion’s rule: if you behave as established by the priesthood, then, they say, you will live forever, behave badly, do not obey the priests, then, they say, God will punish you. This interpretation is beneficial to priests-priests of any religion).

8 but to those who persist and do not submit to the truth, but give themselves up to unrighteousness – rage and anger. (Talion’s rule: if you behave as established by the priesthood, then, they say, you will live forever, behave badly, do not obey the priests, then, they say, God will punish you. This interpretation is beneficial to priests-priests of any religion).

9 Sorrow and distress to every soul of a man who does evil, first, a Jew, [then] a Greek! (The Jew is in the first place, after all, «the chosen of Yahweh», the Greek-Greek is in the second, also the word «Greek» in this context means all non—Jews).

10 On the contrary, glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, first to the Jew, and then to the Greek! (The Jew is in the first place, after all, the «chosen ones of Yahweh», the Greek Greek is in the second).

11 For there is no hypocrisy with God. (Personification of God, endowing the lord of God with human features. God has no face perception, that is, He does not single out a certain person, but this is not the case, see previous verses: 9—10).

12 Those who have sinned without the law will perish outside the law; and those who have sinned under the law will be condemned according to the law (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

13 (because not the listeners of the law are righteous before God, but the executors of the law will be justified, (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

14 for when the Gentiles, who have no law, by nature do what is lawful, then, having no law, they are their own law: (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

15 they show that the work of the law is written in their hearts, as evidenced by their conscience and their thoughts, now accusing, now justifying one another) (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

16 On the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secret affairs of men through Jesus Christ. (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

17 Behold, you are called a Jew, and you comfort yourself with the law, and you boast of God, (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view for Jews).

18 And you know [His] will, and you understand the best by learning from the law (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

19 And I am sure of myself that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in darkness (Analogies, comparisons).

20 the teacher of the ignorant, the teacher of infants, who has a pattern of knowledge and truth in the law: (Analogies, comparisons).

21 How is it that when you teach another, you don’t teach yourself? (Analogies, comparisons).

22 When you preach not to steal, do you steal? saying, «Do not commit adultery,» are you committing adultery? abhoring idols, are you blaspheming? (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

23 Do you boast of the law, but by the transgression of the law do you dishonor God? (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

24 For for your sake, as it is written, the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles. (Reasoning about the law of Moses – the Torah, «divine» moralizing, revealing what is good and what is bad, from Paul’s point of view).

25 Circumcision is useful if you keep the law; but if you are a transgressor of the law, then your circumcision has become uncircumcision. (Reasoning about the «benefits» and «non-benefits» of circumcision).

26 Now, if an uncircumcised person observes the ordinances of the law, will not his uncircumcision be imputed to him as circumcision? (Reasoning about the «benefits» and «non-benefits» of circumcision).

27 And he who is uncircumcised by nature, who fulfills the law, will he not condemn you, a transgressor of the law in the Scriptures and circumcision? (Reasoning about the «benefits» and «non-benefits» of circumcision).

28 For he is not a Jew who is outwardly, nor is circumcision, which is outwardly in the flesh; (Reasoning about the «benefits» and «non-benefits» of circumcision).

29 but [that] A Jew who is inwardly [such], and [that] circumcision, [which] is in the heart, according to the spirit, [and] not according to the letter: his praise is not from people, but from God. (The need to cancel the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law for the emerging pagan Christians. As is known from Acts, this topic was the main source of controversy in the early Church and was discussed at the Apostolic Council in Jerusalem (Acts, Chapter 15). In the epistle to the Romans, the Apostle Paul gives detailed arguments in defense of the council’s decision on the non-necessity of observing the law for baptized pagans and discusses justification by faith, sin and the law).

Chapter 3

1 So what is the advantage [of being] A Jew, or what is the use of circumcision? (Jews have always observed the rite of circumcision with special care. By the time of the New Testament, circumcision became the main external difference between a Jew and a non-Jew, a kind of symbol of Judaism).

2 A great advantage in all respects, and above all, that the word of God is entrusted to them. (Especially (slav.) – especially, most, most of all).

3 For what then? if some were unfaithful, will their infidelity destroy God’s faithfulness? (Justification by «true» faith).

4 Nothing. God is faithful, but every man is a liar, as it is written: You are righteous in Your words and will prevail in Your judgment. (God is always right, man is always wrong).

5 But if our unrighteousness reveals the truth of God, what shall we say? Will God not be unjust when He expresses anger? (I speak according to human [reasoning]). (Paul’s reasoning about justice, truth-untruth from the point of view of «divine providence»).

6 Nothing. For [otherwise] how can God judge the world? (Paul’s reasoning about justice, truth-untruth from the point of view of «divine providence»).

7 For if the faithfulness of God is exalted by my unfaithfulness to the glory of God, why else should I be judged as a sinner? (Paul’s reasoning about justice, truth-untruth from the point of view of «divine providence»).

8 And shall we not do evil so that good may come out, as some slander us and say that we teach this way? Righteous is the judgment on such. (Paul’s reasoning about justice, truth-untruth from the point of view of «divine providence»).

9 So, what is it? do we have an advantage? Not at all. For we have already proved that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin (Paul «proved» that «everything is under sin»).

10 As it is written, there is not one righteous; (However, everything is according to the will of God!).

11 There is no one who understands; no one seeks God; (However, everything is according to the will of God!).

12 all have gone astray, every one is worthless; there is no one doing good, there is not one. (Everyone behaves «wrong»).

13 Their larynx is an open coffin; they deceive with their tongue; the poison of asps is on their lips. (Asp (Greek) – a poisonous snake).

14 Their mouths are full of slander and bitterness. (Everyone behaves «wrong»).
