12:8 Cine imbarbateaza pe altii, sa se tina de imbarbatare. Cine da, sa dea cu inima larga. Cine carmuieste, sa carmuiasca cu ravna. Cine face milostenie, s-o faca cu bucurie. Imbarbatare. Gr. paraklesis, ,,apel”, ,,incurajare”, ,,mangaiere” (comparati folosirea lui in Rom. 15,5; 2 Cor. 8,4; Fil. 2,1). Invatatura este adresata in primul rand priceperii. Imbarbatarea tinteste mai ales la inima si la vointa. Unii au un dar special pentru stimularea oamenilor la actiune, sau de a-i mangaia in necaz si durere. Acesta este un dar de la Dumnezeu care trebuie sa fie folosit cu smerenie si ravna. Vezi Mat. 5,4. Da. Gr. metadidomi. Termenul inseamna ,,a contribui” sau ,,a imparti” propriile sale bunuri sau propria sa bogatie (compara folosirea lui in Luca 3,11; Ef. 4,28). Pavel trece acum de la daruri care califica pe cineva pentru o slujba anumita in biserica la altele de o natura mai generala. Primirea crestinismului aduce saracie multora din credinciosii primari, si a dovedit necesar ca ei sa fie sustinuti din darurile bogate ale semenilor lor, crestinii (vezi Fapte 2,44.45; Rom. 15,26; 1 Cor. 16,1; Gal. 2,10). Inima larga. [,,Simplitate”, KJV; ,,cu fireasca nevinovatie”, Nitz.]. Gr. haplotes, ,,sinceritate”, ,,inima sincera”, ,,scop sincer” de unde uneori ,,darnicie” (vezi 2 Cor. 8,2; 9,11.13). Crestinul care imparte posesiunile sale cu altii trebuie sa faca lucrul acesta cu inima sincera (cf. Ef. 6,5; Col. 3,22) si nu cu motive amestecate. Nu trebuie sa fie parada sau scop egoist. O atare sinceritate si generozitate sunt la fel un dar al Duhului, a carui influenta calauzitoare e ceruta pentru buna folosire a bogatiilor (cf. Mat. 6,3; 19,21). Cine carmuieste. Literal ,,cine e pus in frunte”. Cuvantul folosit in NT cu privire la aceia care sunt in vreo pozitie de autoritate sau influenta, fie in biserica (1 Tes. 5,12; 1 Tim. 5,17) sau in familie (1 Tim. 3,4.5.12), darul lor special este acela al ,,carmuirii” (1 Cor. 12,28). Ravna. [,,Sarguinta”, KJV; Nitz.]. Gr. spoude. In alta parte in NT cuvantul acesta e tradus ,,grabit” (Marcu 6,25; Luca 1,39), ,,ravna” (2 Cor. 7,11), ,,purtare de grija” (2 Cor. 7,12), ,,ravna” (2 Cor. 8,8). ,,ravna” (2 Cor. 8,16). De la oricine este intr-o pozitie de conducere se cere energie si ravna sarguincioasa. Aceste calitati sunt un dar al Duhului Sfant si crestinul care a fost inzestrat in felul acesta ar trebui sa-si puna tot sufletul in lucrarea care i-a fost incredintata. Face milostenie. [,,Arata indurare”, KJV]. In aceasta lista de daruri, Pavel evident face o oarecare deosebire intre facerea de milostenii si savarsirea de fapte de bunatate. Poate ca se refera aici in deosebi la astfel de forme de a arata indurare ca a cerceta ,,pe orfani si pe vaduve in necazurile lor” (Iacov 1,29), vindecarea celor ,,cu inima zdrobita” (Is. 61,1; cf. Luca 4,18), cercetarea celor bolnavi sau in inchinare (Mat. 25,36.39.44). Bucurie. Gr. hilarotes, sursa cuvantului nostru ,,ilaritate”. Aceasta este unica aparitie a acestui cuvant in NT desi adjectivul hilaros e folosit in 2 Cor. 9,7: ,,pe cine da cu bucurie, il iubeste Dumnezeu”. Fie ca mangaie pe cel in doliu, sau ca ajuta pe suferind, cel care ,,face milostenie” [arata indurare], ar trebui sa lase sa se vada ca slujba lui e facuta cu voie buna si cu bucurie. Faptele de bunatate savarsite cu fata luminoasa si voioasa sunt de mai mare valoare decat cele facute numai dintr-un simt al datoriei. Isus era fara incetare inconjurat de suferinzi si de schilozi. Si totusi era totdeauna bland, bun si bucuros (vezi MH 24). Diferitele daruri pe care le-a enumerat Pavel trebuie sa fie exercitate intr-un spirit bun si pentru binele general al tuturor. Credinciosul crestin nu va dispretui rangul special sau functia speciala pe care Domnul i le-a incredintat. Si nici nu se va socoti pe sine mai pe sus decat ar trebui. Tinta si bucuria lui va fi de a-si implini cu credinciosie datoriile apartinand la sfera de viata la care a fost chemat de Dumnezeu. |

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).
Multilingual Online Ebooks
