DISCIPLE. From the
Greek verb
manqanow
which means "to learn, to be apprised of, to increase one's
knowledge," there are derived the words
maqhthV
which means "a
learner, a pupil, one who follows the teaching of someone else,"
thus, a disciple; and
maqhteuvw
which means
"to follow the precepts and instructions of another," thus to be
his disciple; also, "to make a disciple, to teach, to instruct."

The Path to
Godliness Leads through the Valley of Suffering |
|
1 Peter 5:8-10 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Rejoice in
the midst of Sufferings |

1 Peter 5:8-10 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
1 Peter 1:6-7 In
this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary,
you have been grieved by various trials,
7 so that
the tested genuineness of your faith--more precious than gold
that perishes though it is tested by fire--may be found to
result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of
Jesus Christ. |
