Let No One Rob You of Your Reward

So this word brabuo, not kata brabuo, but brabuo is from about the time of Euripides, and it is kind of an interesting word.

So bravura refers to the activity of an umpire, an umpire who officiates games, directs, arbitrates, or decides the contest in a wider sense to order or to rule.

When you put the kata in front of it, it intensifies it.

So we would not be in error, and I'm going to read you a couple of translations in English, and none of these really are, are terrible, but you'll see how this could open up a little bit of the passage.

So in King James, let no man beguile you of your reward.

In the New Revised Standard Edition, let no one disqualify you in insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, dwelling on visions popped up without cause by human way of the New Century Version, do not let anyone disqualify you by making you humiliate yourself and worship angels.

Such people enter into visions which fill them with foolish pride because of their human way of thinking.

let no one defraud you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind.

Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you from the prize." You can, you can see here there's enough translations that carry the concept or the word of prize or reward.

So I want you to look at your King James, let no one beguile you of your reward.

technically speaking, the word for reward is not there.

But hold on, because I just said, well, this word, this word katabrubeto carries with it the concept of an umpire who would decide to award the prize, or to award the winning or winner.

So it should be understood, this word should be understood this way.

Now, if you just strip down just to brabuo, which I said occurs elsewhere, you would get, and I'll read it to you, I have a couple of verses that we can have an example from.

All right, one of these would be, Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? That's Paul writing in 1 Corinthians, so run that ye may obtain.

The prize is the same word, brabuo, being used.

The same word appears in Philippians.

You've got the same, that word for prize or reward.

So it should be understood.

It's embedded.

It is essentially let no one, if you go back to the concept of games, Paul is very strong on metaphors and verbal imagery.

So we would say it is the person who is able to judge, to call, to whether or not you have placed your faith, trust, confidence in the right place, let no one rob you of your prize.

Now, there's a reason why this is worded this way, but you almost have to Before I go too far, because my mind will just take off and we're like the horses left the station here, let me read 26 translations just to give you, we'll say on top of everything else I've read, which are modern translations or modern versions, a few more.

"'Let no man rob you of your prize.'" stop letting anyone in gratuitous humility in worship of angels.

You must not allow anyone to cheat you by insisting on false humility.
