4 years ago I recorded the 6 chapters of Ephesians, plus "soundbites", from the Remedy.
Recently I recorded Ephesians from the Message (MSG) paraphrase, "EPHESIANS Chapters 1-6 the Message (MSG) - read by Chris Harle"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7YLJVY5y1Q&list=PLgl7ryoHplaeWWmirVvKA-jC4GTTclTZn
Then I ventured out and recorded Ephesians in the Swedish language, "EPHESIANS read in Swedish - Efesierbrevet Nya Levande Biblen (NLB) - NEW LIVING TRANSLATION" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6omuf8BHEYI&list=PLgl7ryoHplad_vqJbI427f7NX9f8k8oYp
When I listen from my smartphone, I am disturbed when the video/audio comes to an end and I am taken to something completely different. However, if a complete reading were available that would not happen. So, today I returned to the Remedy.
This upload offers a complete reading of the Apostle Paul's letter (Epistle) to the Christian Church at Ephesus, Asia Minor.
I have been blessed (enriched, humbled, enlightened) by engaging in these projects, and my hope is that Paul's words will draw you closer to the One who changed his life so completely.

John 6
Living Bible
5000 FED
6:11 Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks to God and passed them out to the people. Afterwards he did the same with the fish. And everyone ate until full!
JESUS WALKS ON WATER
18-19 soon a gale swept down … and the sea grew very rough. … suddenly they saw Jesus walking toward the boat! They were terrified, 20 but he … told them not to be afraid.
THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD
22-23 The next morning … crowds began gathering on the shore waiting to see Jesus. 25 “Sir, how did you get here?” 26 Jesus replied, “you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you believe in me. 27 But you shouldn’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. No, spend your energy seeking the eternal life that I, the Messiah, can give you.”
28 They replied, “What should we do to satisfy God?”
29 Jesus told them, “This is the will of God, that you believe in the one he has sent.”
30-31 They replied, “You must show us more miracles if you want us to believe you are the Messiah. Give us free bread every day, like our fathers had while they journeyed through the wilderness!”
32 Jesus said, “Moses didn’t give it to them. My Father did. Now he offers you true Bread from heaven. 33 The true Bread is a Person - the one sent by God from heaven, and he gives life to the world.”
35 Jesus replied, “I am the Bread of Life. No one coming to me will ever be hungry again. Those believing in me will never thirst.
43 Jesus replied, 44 no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him to me, and at the Last Day I will cause all such to rise again from the dead.
48-51 I am the Bread of Life! When your fathers in the wilderness ate bread from the skies, they all died. But the Bread from heaven gives eternal life to everyone who eats it. I am that Living Bread that came down out of heaven. Anyone eating this Bread shall live forever; this Bread is my flesh given to redeem humanity.”
53 So Jesus said it again, 54 anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him at the Last Day. 55 For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink.
63 Only the Holy Spirit gives eternal life.[g] Those born only once, with physical birth,* will never receive this gift. But now I have told you how to get this true spiritual life.

2 Thessalonians ◦ Chapter 2
1 Now, my Thessalonian family, in regard to the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ–the time when we will be together with him–
2 don't get upset, excited, alarmed or concerned about some prediction, prophecy or letter, supposedly from us, claiming that the Lord has already come back.
3 Don’t be fooled by any idea like this, because, before the Lord returns, Satan will counter everything Christ taught, and a rebellion against God’s law of love will occur: a man-made theological system of imposed law will form, and this system — which promotes god-concepts outside God’s law of love — will be exposed. This man-made system is destined for destruction,
4 because it opposes God's design for life and instead exalts a human concept of law and punishment over the way God built things to operate. This distorted view of God will become so accepted and orthodox that it will set itself up in God's spirit temple–the minds of people–and it will be proclaimed that God is like Satan in character.
5 Surely you remember how I taught you these things when I was with you?
6 As you know, Satan's power is being held back, but will be loosened when the time is right.
7 But even now, the covert operation to develop a theological system contrary to God's design for life, and promoting Satan's distorted view of God, is already happening; but this perverse system will not arise until the restraining power lets go.
8 And then, the one operating outside of God's design template for life will be revealed. But he will be overthrown by the truth from the mouth of the Lord Jesus and destroyed by the brightness of his coming.
9 The rise of the deviant one will be accompanied by manifestation of Satan's methods and power, counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders,
10 and anything else that deceives and darkens the minds of those who are dying–those who did not develop minds that love the truth, and thereby did not partake of the Remedy.
11 Because they reject the truth, God leaves them to their delusional world built on lies.
12 All who reject truth and love, and prefer lies and selfishness, will be diagnosed as terminal and die from their unhealed condition.
13 We always owe our thanks to God for you. My dear ones, the Lord loves you and determined from the very beginning to heal you through the truth, winning your trust so you would open your hearts to experience the transforming work of the Spirit.
14 Through the Remedy we brought, God called you to share the perfect character of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 So, my dear friends, don't get discouraged but be confident in the truth we have taught you both in person and by letter.
16 May Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loves us and graciously works to give us never-ending support and confidence,17 heal your hearts and rebuild your characters in every good trait.

The Suffering and Glory of the LORD’s Servant
13 The LORD says, “My servant will act wisely and accomplish his task.
He will be highly honored. He will be greatly respected.
14 Many people were shocked when they saw him.
He was so scarred that he no longer looked like a person.
His body was so twisted that he did not look like a human being anymore.
15 But many nations will be surprised when they see what he has done.
Kings will be so amazed that they will not be able to say anything.
They will understand things they were never told.
They will know the meaning of things they never heard.”

How many remember distinctly in childhood a sickness or a touch of pneumonia that made us very ill, with the potential for something even worse? In the long, feverish night, we would awaken from a half sleep to see our mother or father sitting in a chair beside our bed in the soft glow of the night-light.
Just so, in a figurative, human sense, God sat by the bedside of a sin-sick world as moral darkness began to deepen in the centuries after the Flood. For this reason, He called out Abram and planned to establish through His faithful servant a people to whom He could entrust a knowledge of Himself and give salvation.
Therefore, God entered into a covenant with Abram and his posterity that emphasized in more detail the divine plan to save humankind from the results of sin. The Lord was not going to leave His world unattended, not with it in such dire need.
This week, we will look at the unfolding of more covenant promises.

Genesis ◦ Chapter 15
1 After this, the Lord spoke to Abram in a vision and said, “Abram, you don’t need to be fear-filled. I am your deliverer – your Remedy – here to free you from fear and selfishness and give you a very great reward.”
2 But Abram questioned, “O Lord God, what great reward could you possibly give me since I have no child? Any reward will simply become part of my estate and ultimately go to Eliezer of Damascus, who will be my heir.”
3 Then Abram added, “Since you have not given me a child of my own, a servant born in my household will inherit what is mine.”
4 Then the Lord spoke to Abram and said, “No! Eliezer will not inherit what is yours, but a son produced from your own body will inherit what is yours.”
5 Then the Lord led Abram outside and said, “Look up at the sky and count the stars if you can; that’s how many descendants you will have.”
6 Abram let go of his fear and self-concern and trusted the Lord; and the Lord regarded his trust as evidence that his heart was now set right with God.
7 The Lord told him, “I am the Lord, who led you out of Ur in Babylonia, and as part of my plan to save the earth from sin, I am giving you this land to possess.”
8 But Abram asked, “O Creator God, I don’t understand… How can I know the future – that I will come to possess this land?”
9 So the Lord said to Abram, “I will give you this reassurance – I will certify this promise with a ceremony that is customary to your people: Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, and a dove and a young pigeon.”
10 Abram brought all of these for him, cut them down the middle and arranged the halves across from each other; but he didn’t cut the birds in half.
11 When vultures came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.
12 When the sun had set, Abram fell into a deep sleep and dreamed of being covered by the dark and terrible sense of the unknown.
13 Then the Lord enlightened him, saying, “Know this with certainty: Your descendants through Sarai will be aliens living in a country that is not their own, and they will be enslaved and abused. The slavery will end in four hundred years.
14 But know that I will contend with the nation that enslaves them, and your descendants will depart from that nation with great wealth.
15 You, however, after living to a good old age, will die peacefully and be buried with your ancestors.
16 In the fourth generation your descendants will return to this land, for the sin of the Amorites and others living here has not yet completely seared their consciences and hardened their hearts beyond healing.”
17 After the sun had set and darkness had set in, the fiery presence of the Lord appeared like a blazing torch or a smoking oven and passed betwe

Romans ◦ Chapter 2 the Remedy
1 If, therefore, you make judgments about others, you have no excuse for your failure to experience transformation of heart and mind. For whenever you judge another, you are revealing your own sickness of heart–you are revealing that selfishness, unforgiveness, unkindness and hard-heartedness still live in you — and unless you experience a change, your condition remains terminal.
2 Now, we know that when God diagnoses someone as sick, infected with selfishness and dying, his diagnosis is based on the actual condition of the heart and mind of the individual being diagnosed.
3 So when you — a mere human who sees only the outward appearance — pass judgment on others, condemning them to ruin and eternal loss, you only reveal the lack of love and the persistence of an infected, selfish heart within you. If you remain like this, do you think you will somehow evade God's diagnosis of your fatal state?
4 Or do you purposely disdain the abundance of God's gentle, kind, patient bedside-manner, completely oblivious to the fact that it is God's tolerant, kind and gentle character that wins us back to trust and leads us to leave our destructive ways behind?
