|
1:1 Pavel, apostol al lui Isus Hristos, prin voia lui Dumnezeu, si fratele Timotei, catre Biserica lui Dumnezeu care este in Corint, si catre toti sfintii, care sunt in toata Ahaia: Apostol. Gr. apostolos (vezi la Marcu 3,15; Fapte 1,2). Pavel primise insarcinarea direct de la Isus Hristos (Fapte 26,16.17; cf. Galateni 1,11.12). In felul acesta era un ambasador reprezentandu-L pe Hristos (2 Corinteni 5,20). In cele mai multe dintre epistolele sale, Pavel se numeste apostol, autoritatea lui fiind egala cu cea a celor doisprezece, care Il vazusera pe Domnul si fusesera instruiti personal de El (vezi la 1 Corinteni 9,1). Al lui Hristos Isus. Adica trimis de Isus Hristos si deci vorbind in numele Lui. Voia lui Dumnezeu. Apostolii mincinosi care tulburau acum biserica din Corint veneau din proprie initiativa. Pavel devenise apostol printr-un act de vointa al lui Dumnezeu (cf. Romani 1,1; 1 Corinteni 1,1). Era deosebit de important ca cei din Corint sa recunoasca diferenta aceasta si sa-l accepte pe Pavel ca reprezentant personal al lui Dumnezeu. De cateva decenii exista o partida influenta de crestini iudei care cereau ca cei convertiti la crestinism dintre neamuri sa devina si prozeliti la iudaism si sa respecte cerintele legii rituale. Acesti iudei se pare ca tagaduiau valabilitatea deciziei conciliului de la Ierusalim care spunea ca cei convertiti dintre neamuri nu trebuiau sa faca asa ceva (Fapte 15,19.20.28.29). Candva, partida aceasta iudaizanta ridicase cu succes bisericile din Galatia impotriva lui Pavel (Galateni 3,1; 5,1-7), precum si bisericile din provincia Asia (2 Timotei 1,15). Acesti iudaizanti il nesocoteau pe Pavel si, intrucat el nu fusese asociat personal cu Hristos, ca cei doisprezece, il prezentau, in cel mai bun caz, ca fiind un apostol de categoria a doua. Tendinta in biserica primara era de a-i imparti pe apostoli in doua grupe: cei care fusesera si cei care nu fusesera cu Hristos. Cei care-L vazusera pe Isus in trup erau de obicei mai pretuiti decat cei care nu-L vazusera astfel. A doua grupa fusese randuita la apostolie de biserica si era considerata inferioara primei grupe. Aceasta clasificare era pur omeneasca si nu avea nici aprobarea lui Dumnezeu, nici a apostolilor. De aceea, adesea Pavel socotea ca e necesar sa accentueze ca fusese chemate personal de Hristos. El Il intalnise personal pe Isus pe drumul spre Damasc. Fusese invatat de Domnul Isus Hristos in persoana (Galateni 1,11.12). De asemenea fusese insarcinat de Isus in persoana, in templu, cu prilejul primei vizite la Ierusalim, dupa convertire (Fapte 22,21). Deoarece partida opozanta din Corint pusese la indoiala imputernicirea lui ca apostol, in a doua lui epistola, Pavel sustine curajos chemarea sa divina la apostolie (vezi 2 Corinteni 3,1-6; 10,1-12; 11,1 la 12,18). Daca era ,,voia lui Dumnezeu” ca Pavel sa fie apostol, ce drept aveau iudaizantii sa puna la indoiala autoritatea lui? Vezi la 2 Corinteni 3,1; 11,5; Galateni 1,1; 2,6. Fratele Timotei. [Timotei, fratele nostru, KJV]. Timotei nu e numit nicaieri apostol. El era inca tanar, desi fusese asociatul lui Pavel aproape 15 ani (vezi la Fapte 16,1-3; cf. AA 184). Pavel se mai refera la Timotei numindu-l si ,,tovarasul meu de lucru” (Romani 16,21). Poate ca inca mai era socotit ucenic. El era deja binecunoscut bisericii corintene (1 Corinteni 16,10., 2 Corinteni 1,19). Numele lui Pavel si al lui Timotei sunt asociate in salutarile din alte cinci epistole (Filipeni 1,1; Coloseni 1,1; 1 Tesaloniceni 1,1; 2 Tesaloniceni 1,1; Filipeni 1). Pavel il numeste ,,adevaratul meu copil in credinta” (1 Timotei 1,2; cf. 2 Timotei 1,2). Vezi la 1 Corinteni 4,17; 16,10. Biserica. Gr. ekklesia (vezi la Mat. 18,17). Pavel numeste biserica din Corint ,,biserica lui Dumnezeu”, intelegand ca fusese infiintata prin voia lui Dumnezeu, la fel cum Pavel fusese randuit ca apostol ,,prin voia lui Dumnezeu”. Cetatea Corint era vestita pentru stiinta, bogatia si nelegiuirea ei (vezi p. 656). Totusi, in locul acesta, unul din cele mai rele din lumea romana, Dumnezeu infiintase biserica Sa. Toti sfintii. Se pare ca la data aceea exista o grupare mare de credinciosi in Ahaia (vezi harta de la p. 33). Biserica din Chencrea este mentionata special (Romani 16,1). Fara indoiala ca mai erau si altele. Termenul hagioi, ,,sfinti” (vezi la Romani 1,7), era folosit de la inceput pentru a-i desemna pe credinciosii crestini (vezi Fapte 9,13), ca unii care erau despartiti de lume pentru Dumnezeu. Poporul Lui e numit ,,credinciosi” (1 Timotei 4,12) datorita credintei lor in Hristos; ,,ucenici” (Fapte 11,26) datorita faptului ca invata de la El; ,,robi” [,,slujitori”] (Efes. 6,6) deoarece fac ceea ce spune El; ,,copiii” (1 Ioan 3,10; cf. v. 1), deoarece sunt adoptati in familia lui Dumnezeu si ,,sfinti”, deoarece viata lor este consacrata doar Lui (1 Corinteni 1,2). Ahaia. Romanii au impartit Grecia in doua provincii senatoriale, Ahaia si Macedonia (cf. Fapte 19,21). Corintul era capitala Ahaiei, care cuprindea Atica si Peloponezul, si resedinta proconsulului sau guvernatorului roman (vezi harta de la p. 33). Includerea in salut a celor numiti ,,toti sfintii care sunt in toata Ahaia”, pe langa aceia din Corint, arata faptul ca, in oarecare masura, si ei aveau nevoie de sfatul trimis bisericii din Corint. Corintenii trebuiau sa transmita salutarile si solia apostolului celorlalte biserici. |

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).
