Bible Quote May 14th Proverbs 31:30

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” -Proverbs 31:30
===
Proverbs 31 is possibly entirely to do with Solomon and Bathsheba. The name, Lemuel, is not of a known king, but is likely a pseudonym.

Via Wikipedia "The widely used Strong's concordance, a reference work that assigns a unique reference number to every Biblical Hebrew word and its English translation, states that Lemuel is Hebrew word 3927, related to words 3926 and 410 and means "(belonging) to God; Lemuel or Lemoel, a symbolic name of Solomon: -Lemuel.""

It is likely that after Bathsheba was seen on a roof by David as a young woman, she became an iconic mother, dealing with miscarriage and, later, supporting her child, exhorting him to listen to God.

Bible Quote May 13th Proverbs 31:10, 27-28

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:” - Proverbs 31:10, 27-28

Bible quote May 12th Ephesians 4:32

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” -Ephesians 4:32
===
Ephesus is the city in modern day Turkey where John is thought to have written his Gospel, and where Paul spent a few years. The inhabitants at the time were Greek ethnically. Paul does not give characteristically personal greetings in this letter, suggesting to some that he did not write this in 62 AD from Rome, but it was written in his name between 80 and 100 AD.

Here, Paul is giving instructions on Christian living.

Bible Quote May 11th Matthew 18:15

“If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.” - Matthew 18:15
===
Matthew wrote what is the first Gospel of the Bible. It is one of the three synoptic gospels, and relates how the Messiah, Jesus, rejected by Israel, sent out his disciples to preach the gospel to the whole world. It was probably written after 70AD.

Here, Matthew is talking of what will be bound in Heaven, and what will be loosed in heaven. Christians are not united, except in faith. But in disagreement, we can argue out of love, and be persuaded.

Bible Quote May 10th Romans 8:1-2

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” - Romans 8:1-2
===
Paul was writing to Rome from Corinth. He had Tertius of Iconium write this while he dictated. Paul had established a number of churches around the Greek seas in the decade leading up to the letter. Rome was the then undisputed capital of the 'known world.'

Here, Paul writes on the assurance of salvation. Because under law, all will die as all fall short of God's glory. But, under the protection of Christ, Christians have freedom to act righteously, even as they fail.

Bible Quote May 9th Colossians 4:5-6

“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” - Colossians 4:5-6
===
Colossians is a letter to a small Christian community about 100 miles from Ephesus. There are questions about authorship. It reflects the epistle for Ephesians. Were it written by Paul, it was probably written in the sixth decade, when Paul was imprisoned in Rome.

Here, Paul is making further instructions, having covered issues such as the supremacy of Christ, Paul's labor for the church, life with Christ giving freedom, and rules for holy living.

Bible Quote May 8th 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

===

It is thought this first epistle to Thessalonians was written by Paul from Corinth in 52, following Timothy's visit there. It seems to be before Paul has finished formalising his thoughts on several issues which he covers in later letters, like justification by faith, or Jewish and Gentile relations. But then this letter is some eighteen years before the fall of the temple, after which persecution of Christians was more of an issue.

The first eleven verses to this chapter may have been inserted later to clarify thoughts on the second coming. These verses are part of Paul's final instructions.
