Denying ungodliness - Titus 2:12

Let us say no to the flesh, the world and the love of self, and learn the holy self-denial of which so much of the life of obedience consists. We must make no provision for the flesh, give no recognition to our lower life. We must say no to everything earthly and selfish. How very much of the life of faith consists in simply denying ourselves. We begin with one great yes to God, and then we conclude with an eternal no to ourselves, the world, the flesh and the devil. Nearly every commandment of the Decalogue is a Thou shalt not. In First Corinthians 13, with its beautiful picture of love, most of the characteristics of love are in the negative-what love does not, thinks not, says not, is not. And so you will find that the largest part of the life of consecration is really saying no. I am not my own, I belong to Him. I am His alone, I belong to Him.

Prayer:

God, thank You for Your grace and the gift of salvation. My eternity is secure in You because of Your great love. Teach me what it means to be godly. Help me say "yes" to the things that bring You joy, and "no" to the things I shouldn't do. Give me discernment to know the difference. In Jesus' name, Amen.

2 Corinthians 12:16–18

16 Ἔστω δέ, ἐγὼ οὐ κατεβάρησα ὑμᾶς· ἀλλʼ ὑπάρχων πανοῦργος δόλῳ ὑμᾶς ἔλαβον. 17 μή τινα ὧν ἀπέσταλκα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐπλεονέκτησα ὑμᾶς; 18 παρεκάλεσα Τίτον καὶ συναπέστειλα τὸν ἀδελφόν· μήτι ἐπλεονέκτησεν ὑμᾶς Τίτος; οὐ τῷ αὐτῷ πνεύματι περιεπατήσαμεν; οὐ τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἴχνεσιν; 

My translation: 

16 But it must be, I myself weighed you down not; but, being by nature clever, I took you by deceit. 17 Anyone of those whom I have sent to you, through him I defrauded you not, did I? 18 I encouraged Titus to go and sent along the brother. Titus defrauded you not, did he? Do we not walk in the same Breath? In the same footsteps?

Notes:

12:16 

The subject of the 3s present imperative ἔστω (from εἰμί) is either the following clause ἐγὼ οὐ κατεβάρησα ὑμᾶς (NRSV: “Let it be assumed that ...”; HCSB: “Now, granted ...”) or the preceding clause of v. 15b (NASB, NIV, NET: “But be that as it may”; so NIGTC). ‘In Plato’s dialogues we sometimes have ἔστω, when one side grants what the other states, but it is not common’ (CGT). 

The hapax legomenon καταβαρέω is, “I burden, am a burden to” (BDAG), from κατά + βαρέω (6x) “I weigh down, burden” (cf. 1:8, 5:4; cf. βαρύς, 6x, “weighty” in 10:10), a close equivalent to καταβαρύνω (1x: Mk. 14:40). ἐγὼ is the emphatic subject of the negated aorist οὐ κατεβάρησα, and ὑμᾶς is the direct object. 

The hapax legomenon πανοῦργος is, “clever, crafty, sly” (BDAG), from ἡ πανουργία (5x) “cunning, craftiness, trickery” (cf. 4:2, 11:3); NASB: “devious”. The literal sense from the roots πᾶν + ἔργον is, “ready to do anything” (BDAG). πανοῦργος is the predicate of the present participle ὑπάρχων (from ὑπάρχω); the participle is causal (“Since I am crafty”) with ἔλαβον below. ὑπάρχω refers to ‘an inherent characteristic’: “since I am crafty by nature” (NIGTC). 

ὁ δόλος (11x) is literally, “a decoy, bait”; figuratively, “deceit, cunning, treachery” (BDAG; cf. δολόω “I corrupt” in 4:2; δόλιος “deceitful” in 11:13); NIV: “trickery”. The dative δόλῳ is instrumental with the 1s 2nd aorist ἔλαβον (from λαμβάνω), of which ὑμᾶς is the direct object. As in 11:20, the meaning is, “took you in” (most translations), i.e., “caught you” (NIV).

12:17 

μή introduces a question expecting a negative response (“I did not ... did I?”; NIGTC: “Surely I did not”). 

The indefinite pronoun τινα (“any”) is a pendant accusative (grammatically unrelated to a verb) but is resumed by the pronoun αὐτοῦ later in the sentence; most translations restructure the verse to remove the discontinuity. The genitive relative pronoun ὧν is its own antecedent, standing for ἐκείνων οὕς (or τούτων οὕς), where ἐκείνων is partitive after τινα and οὕς is the direct object of the 1s perfect ἀπέσταλκα (from ἀποστέλλω): “any one of those whom I sent”. The prepositional phrase πρὸς ὑμᾶς is spatial with ἀποστέλλω. NIGTC suggests that the perfect-tense may be iterative. 

αὐτοῦ is resumptive of τινα above. The instrumental prepositional phrase διʼ αὐτοῦ modifies the 1s aorist ἐπλεονέκτησα (from πλεονεκτέω “I take advantage of”; see note on 2:11; NIV: “exploit”). ὑμᾶς is the direct object of the verb. 

12:18 

The direct object of the 1s aorist παρεκάλεσα (from παρακαλέω, here “I urge”) is Τίτον; an explanatory infinitive such as ἐλθεῖν is implied (or a clause such as ἵνα ἔρχηται πρὸς ὑμᾶς, NIGTC). 

The hapax legomenon συναποστέλλω, from σύν + ἀποστέλλω, is “I send with [someone]”. The direct object of the 1s aorist συναπέστειλα τὸν ἀδελφόν, the brother referred to in 8:18. 

μήτι is an emphatic form of μή, introducing a question expecting a negative response. 

The direct object of the aorist ἐπλεονέκτησεν (from πλεονεκτέω “I take advantage of”; see note on 2:11; cf. v. 17) is ὑμᾶς, and the subject is Τίτος. 

The question introduced by οὐ expects a positive response. 

αὐτῷ functions as the identical pronoun with τῷ ... πνεύματι (“by the same spirit”), which modifies the aorist περιεπατήσαμεν (from περιπατέω; NASB, NET: “conduct ourselves”; ESV: “act”). Paul and Titus are the unexpressed subject of the verb. If the Spirit is meant (so NIV), then the dative indicates means; if lowercase “spirit”, then it indicates manner. 

The question introduced by οὐ expects a positive response. 

τό ἴχνος (3x) is, “footprint” (BDAG), probably related to ἥκω “I have come”. αὐτοῖς functions as the identical pronoun with τοῖς ... ἴχνεσιν, which indicates manner with an implied περιεπατήσαμεν.

A collection of the skills' nicknames

I always like the interactions between skills, and I notice that they rarely call each other by their official names instead use "that guy/those guys" or nicknames. So I decide to collect all the nicknames I know in this post. I'll list out the skill's nickname, where it is from, and add a screenshot from my own game or from fayde.

1.Logic: Puzzle Face (from Rhetoric and Authority)

source: failed Logic check with Titus

You need to have failed a rhetoric or authority check for this to happen.

2. Encyclopedia: Pillar-Bookhead (from Volition)

source: Conversation with Klaasje

3. Rhetoric: Goldmouth (from Empathy, Volition, Drama)

source: This nickname appears on several occasions! Failed rhetoric check with Gaston:

failed check with Titus:

conversation with Cuno:

4. Drama: Mr. thespian, Multi-face (from Volition)

source: Conversation with Klaasje

5. Volition: Crownhead (from Suggestion)

source: Volition check with Klaasje

Probably the most well-known nickname!

6. Inland Empire: Dreamer (from PI)

source: Conversation with Gary

7. Esprit de corps: cop-frequency (from Composure)

source: get Cuno as partner after tribunal

8. Suggestion: grovelling sycophant (from Authority)

This probably doesn't count as a nickname, more like an insult, but still very funny.

source: Volition check with Klaasje

9. Endurance: Ultramarathon (from Volition)

source: fascist quest line conversation

10. Physical Instrument: Coach (from several skills and yourself), sinewy idiot (from Electrochemistry)

A very widely used nickname and you can find a lot of lines, I'll put the specifics in image description:

11. Half Light: Mr. Fight-Or-Flight (from Volition)

source: talk to Gaston about pétanque

12. H\E Coordination: the centipede (from Volition)

source: failed check to shave

13. Reaction Speed: shifty, Mr.Conclusion (from Composure and Volition)

source: Volition check with Klaasje

this one is actually more like insult too.

happens if Logic does not chime in after Volition says the first line.

14. Savoir Faire: Savvy from himself and slimeball from PI

source: ultraliberal quest line conversation

This is when you pass the container rhetoric check after you got the quest line.

15. Interfacing: technically not a nickname, but interfacing sometimes calls himself(themselves?) your fingers

16. Composure: Straight-back-guy (from Volition)

source: Conversation with Klaasje

That's all I know! If anyone know more nicknames you're welcomed to tell me in comments or tags!

It seems that more than half of these are from Volition, truly the King of nicknames!

special thanks to this post by @paleyonder, where I get half of these nicknames from.

The Letters of Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles

Paul was a member of the Jewish Pharisees in the 1st century CE, who experienced a revelation of the resurrected Jesus Christ. In this vision, Jesus commissioned him to be the apostle (herald) to the Gentiles (non-Jews). After this experience, he traveled widely throughout the Roman Empire, spreading the "good news" that Jesus would soon return from heaven and usher in the kingdom of God on earth.

In the New Testament, we have 14 letters traditionally assigned to Paul, but the scholarly consensus now recognizes that of the 14, seven were written by Paul:

1 Thessalonians

Galatians

Philemon

Philippians

1 & 2 Corinthians

Romans

2 Thessalonians, Ephesians, and Colossians remain debatable among some scholars. The other major letters (1 &2 Timothy and Titus) were most likely written by disciples of Paul’s, using his name to carry authority. The letters that have survived range between 52 and 60 CE, and although we cannot pinpoint when Paul’s letters were collected, Clement, a bishop in Rome in the 90s CE, quoted from 1 Corinthians.

The Nature of the Letters

We understand these letters to be circumstantial. They were not written as systematic theology or as treatises on Christianity. The letters are responses to specific problems and circumstances as they arose in his communities. Paul spent time in cities establishing a group and then moved on. He received letters and sometimes reports with detailed questions or advice on how to settle conflicts. Unfortunately, when Paul’s letters were saved and circulated, the original letters from the communities were not preserved. The reconstruction of the original problems can only be determined by Paul’s responses.

Known as the most famous convert in history (from the Acts of the Apostles), Paul did not actually undergo conversion. Conversion assumes changing from one religious system to another, but at the time, there was no Christian system for him to convert to. Paul himself was ambiguous when it came to his self-identity:

To the Jews I became like a Jew... To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law) ... To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law) ... I have become all things to all people. (1 Corinthians 9:20-22)

In relation to what happened to Paul, it is better to follow what he says, in that he was 'called'. This is the tradition of the way in which the Prophets of Israel were called to their individual missions.

I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:11-12).

Paul argued that this experience gave him as much authority as the original circle in Jerusalem (Peter, James, and John). Paul’s call to be the Apostle to the Gentiles was shocking because, as he freely admitted, he had previously "persecuted the church of God" (Galatians 1:13). He never really explained what he did, nor why he did it. It is in Paul’s letters that the name Jesus is combined with Christ, the Greek for the Hebrew messiah ("anointed one"). Understood as a title, "Jesus the Christ", it became common as a phrase that indicated his identity and function.

“For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age…” (Titus 2:11-12)

Grace is God's unmerited kindness and favour that is poured out in liberal abundance on those Who put their faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. It's by God’s grace that we are forgiven not only that, it's by grace we are being transformed into His image. And therefore, we are encouraged to live and to grow in righteousness by His grace. Paul writes, ""Since God has manifested His grace to us, we are to commit to living a life of godliness. The same grace trains us and instructs us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly and righteously in the present age.

May God transform us by His grace so that we live sensible, righteous, and godly lives in this fallen world seeking to give Jesus all the glory.
