opportunities to join and belong in the family of His
children with sincerity.

"And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the
first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan
within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption
[G5206] as sons, the redemption of our body."
The spirit of adoption brings a community of connections
passing along the deeper parts of longing, groaning and
eagerly awaiting with hopefulness for redemption.

[G5206] as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the

=========
Jesus spoke about Capernaum - Strong's G2584 = village
of comfort or consolation - near the place where the Jordan
flows into the lake/sea of Galilee. He elevated this village
up into the very Windows of Heaven. They did not want
to give up their advantages and tried to own their own
benefits by claiming Jesus for themselves, as a thing to
be possessed. He wasn't owned by anyone. Nor, did He
owe anybody anything.
Matthew 11:23
"And thou, Capernaum [G2584], which art exalted
unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if
the mighty works, which have been done in thee,
had been done in Sodom, it would have remained
until this day."
Why such a harsh judgment? Because Jesus poured
out from Himself all the glory of God and yet the
village still wanted to and still looked for a handle to
control, manipulate and possess their advantages.
I clicked one Strong's number over to G2585 to find
Kapeleuo = to peddle, base-trade for sordid gain;
to corrupt, adulterate for the sake of gaining/dealing;
pedler, huckster.
2 Corintians 2:17
"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God:
but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak
we in Christ."
What happens to those who use the word of God for an
economic advantage? Probably the same result found in
Capernaum.
