I just gave you the defenition according to the greek words used.
for the believer who was trained by the law. As far as paul tells us, It is come to an end, we are no longer under law but grace.
But to the non believer, they are still under law. the tutor has yet to fulfill its purpose.
Again, read gal 3.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. [SUP]22 [/SUP]But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. [SUP]23 [/SUP]But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. [SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [SUP]25 [/SUP]But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
why are we no longer under a tutor (the law)
can you answer this? (Ps Paul gives us the answer earlier in chapter 3)

Verse 8 of 2 Peter gives you the proper context for Vs1-7...
[SUP]8 [/SUP]For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Verse 9 gives you the proper context for Vs 8-11
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. [SUP]10 [/SUP]Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; [SUP]11 [/SUP]for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you.

The girls here seem jealous Bill.
Ariel wanted to see a current picture of me.
This one was taken a week ago at the beach with my younger niece, she's 14. (not the one with autism).
Can't get any more recent than this....!
Of course, YOU Always knew I was pretty.
Now everyone knows it.
I hope the guys stay calm...
