Paul teaches according to Philippians 4:5 saying “Let Your Moderation Be Known” which is consistent with the Torah. The Torah emphasizes balance, fairness, and humility, which align with the idea of “moderation” in Philippians 4:5. For example, several passages reflect the principle of living with gentleness and measured conduct like Paul is saying. Deuteronomy 16:18-20 Justice and fairness are central to leadership, reinforcing the idea of moderation in decision-making. Leviticus 19:15 states “Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.” This highlights the importance of equitable and balanced behavior. Exodus 23:2-3 Encourages impartiality and fairness, ensuring that one’s actions are measured and just. Numbers 12:3 Describes Moses as “very humble, more than any man on the face of the earth,” demonstrating a life of moderation and restraint. These passages reflect the Torah’s emphasis on fairness, humility, and measured behavior, which align with Paul’s exhortation in Philippians 4:5. This is how Paul and the NT text teaches Torah, the Torah has not passed away!
