*and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, you know quite well.*



 *NOTE**: *1:1-2 - There are some readers of the NT who have concluded that
Paul was a hard man. To read carefully in context all of his relationships
with the saints of his time, will most certainly cause such readers to
revise such conclusions. The fatherly and nurse-like spirit of Paul easily
corrects such conclusions. And to read verse 2 of this portion is to start
the correcting process.


 1:3-14 - This paragraph only confirms this insight. See again 1:6-7 and the
*true* Presbytery concept of those days of ordination that was restored in
1948 in North Battleford, Canada. In Paul's day, every city church had its
own Eldership or Presbytery. They did not need to call on outsiders for this
ministry. And if outsiders were invited to share in this ministry, they were
but “visitors”, not the true Presbytery of that city. What a saving of money
this was! For the Presbytery in those days ministered to each of the Elders
on the local church of the home level - “freely”! And the Presbytery did not
serve merely in ordaining elders and deacons, but also for commissioning and
sending forth missionaries (Acts 13:1-3), solving problems such as in Acts
1:15 and the Judaizing controversy; making decisions such as in the book of
Ruth, and how Boaz rose up as #1 Kinsman-Redeemer - to take the hand of
Ruth. Soon I believe we will see fully-orbed City Church Presbyteries once
again functioning in these various ministrations.


 1:13 - Paul here once returns to “soundness” in the Word, but *mixed* with
faith and love. The Interlinear Greek Bible Numeric NT prepared by Ivan
Panin is a *great* help in this direction, *especially* in the light of the
Bible Numeric revelation of sentence, paragraph and section structure. These
outlines solve many of the problems of Textual Criticism. There are some 20
NT readings seriously under question by the Bible Critics. Since 1946 I have
tested these readings - found against the Modernistic Critics of Canada, and
the Evangelical scholars of the Northern Baptist Theological Seminary of
Chicago where I obtained my Master of Divinity degree in 1952. *Always* I
found that the best of the Textual Critics and students of Bible Chronology
- tended towards the findings of Panin through Bible Numerics! Interesting!


 In 1:15-18 we find the apostle Paul grateful, and remembering the
helpfulness of the ministries that stood with him during much of his
difficult times. - J.A.W.
