Printable ModeRomani 12:16

12:16 Aveţi aceleaşi simţăminte unii faţă de alţii. Nu umblaţi după lucrurile înalte, ci rămâneţi la cele smerite. Să nu vă socotiţi singuri înţelepţi. Aveţi aceleaşi simţăminte. [Aveţi acelaşi gând, KJV; Gândiţi aceeaşi, Nitz.] Fiecare creştin ar trebui să intre în sentimentele şi dorinţele semenilor săi credincioşi, încât să fie de acelaşi gând cu ei (vezi Rom. 15:5; 15:5; 2Cor. 13:11; Filp. 2:2; 4:2). Printre creştini ar trebui totdeauna să existe armonia care vine ca rezultat al scopului comun, al nădejdilor comune şi al dorinţelor comune. Nu umblaţi după lucrurile înalte. [Nu vă gândiţi la lucrurile înalte, KJV; Nitz.] Sau ,,nu fiţi cu gândul pe sus”, ,,nu te îngâmfa” (cap. 11:20), ,,nu fi îngâmfat” (RSV). ,,Dragostea nu se laudă, nu se umflă de mândrie” (1Cor. 13.4). Mândria poate fi pricinuită chiar şi de realizări spirituale (vezi 1Cor.12). Buna înţelegere plină de iubire nu poate dăinui acolo unde sunt unii a căror minte umblă după ,,lucruri înalte”, unde este ambiţie personală, îngâmfare sau dispreţ faţă de alţii. Rămâneţi. [Plecaţi-vă, KJV; Lăsaţi-vă a fi duşi, Nitz.] Gr. sunapago, literal ,,a fi duşi de”, ca de un potop; prin urmare ,,a ceda la”, ,,a se supune la”, ,,a se deda la”. Comparaţi singurele alte două apariţii ale acestui verb, în Gal 2:13 şi 2Pet. 3:17, unde înţelesul nefavorabil este arătat de context, nu de verb. Cele smerite. [Oameni de stare de jos, KJV.] Textul grec e ambiguu şi se poate referi fie la oameni de jos, fie la lucruri de jos. Cuvântul grecesc pentru ,,de jos” sau ,,smerit” (tapeinos), este adecvat cu privire la persoane în alte părţi în NT, dar e imposibil ca în contextul acesta Pavel să vorbească despre ,,datorii umile” sau ,,însărcinări smerite”. Oricare ar fi ideea, accentul e pe umilinţă. Pare că cei mai mulţi membri ai bisericii creştine primare erau săraci şi puţinii care erau bogaţi se poate să fi fost ispitiţi să privească cu dispreţ la fraţii lor mai smeriţi (vezi Iac. 2:1-9). Dar o astfel de lipsă de iubire şi simpatie ar fi făcut cu neputinţă ca credincioşii să aibă ,,aceleaşi simţăminte unii faţă de alţii”. De aceea creştinii trebuie să aibă acelaşi gând pe care l-a avut Isus. Chiar dacă era de natură divină, El nu umbla ,,după lucrurile înalte”. Ci ,,a luat chip de rob” şi ,,S-a smerit”, aşa că S-a putut asocia cu oamenii de jos, păcătoşi, şi lucra cu ei pentru mântuirea lor (Filp. 2:5-8). Dacă Fiul lui Dumnezeu era gata să Se plece atât de mult prin iubire faţă de făpturile Sale stricate, cu siguranţă creştinii recunoscători ar trebui să fie gata ,,să se plece” pentru a se asocia cu oricare din semenii lor muritori (vezi GW 330-336). Nu vă socotiţi singuri înţelepţi. [Înţelepţi în îngâmfarea voastră, KJV; Înţelepţi după a voastră găsire cu cale, Nitz.] Literal, ,,înţelepţi prin voi înşivă”, însemnând ,,înţelepţi după propriile voastre păreri” (cf. cele de la cap. 11:25). O astfel de îngâmfare este o ofensă adusă iubirii creştine, deoarece implică dispreţuirea părerilor altora şi, până la urmă, chiar şi a sfatului lui Dumnezeu. Dar ceea ce Isaia avertizează: ,,Vai de cei ce sunt înţelepţi în ochii lor şi cuminţi numai în părerea lor!” (Isa. 5:21; cf. Prov. 3:7). Creştinul a cărui minte a fost înnoită nu se va încrede în înşelăciunea propriei sale iscusinţe şi priceperi superioare şi nu va refuza să asculte de sfatul altora. Dimpotrivă, în iubire şi smerenie, el va respecta judecata fraţilor săi de credinţă şi îşi va păstra mintea deschisă şi primitoare de învăţătură. El va fi gata să recunoască şi să admită propriile sale mărginiri şi erori şi să înveţe de la alţii. |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
