(NASB) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/ \">https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/index.php\/category\/bits-of-torah-truths\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1 John 3:13, believers are instructed not to be surprised when the world hates them for practicing righteousness. The Torah contains several examples in which those who align themselves with God&#8217;s purposes experience opposition, rejection, or hostility from those who resist His ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8211; Torah parallels &#8211; <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Genesis 4:3-8 Abel&#8217;s righteous offering was accepted by God, while Cain&#8217;s was not, leading Cain to hate and ultimately kill his brother. This forms the clearest Torah background to 1 John 3, which directly discusses Cain as an example of hostility toward the righteous. 2. Genesis 21:8-10 Ishmael mocked Isaac, the child of promise, illustrating tension between those associated with God&#8217;s covenant purposes and those who oppose them. 3. Genesis 37:4-11 Joseph&#8217;s brothers hated him because of their jealousy and because of the revelations God had given him, demonstrating that divine favor can provoke hostility. 4. Exodus 1:8-14 The Egyptians oppressed Israel because they feared the nation&#8217;s growth and blessing, showing that those identified with God&#8217;s covenant people may face persecution from surrounding societies. 5. Numbers 16:1-3 Korah and his followers challenged Moses and Aaron, opposing the leaders God had appointed and illustrating resistance toward those carrying out divine responsibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8211; Context Synthesis &#8211; <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First John 3:13 appears in a discussion contrasting righteousness and unrighteousness, immediately following the example of Cain&#8217;s hatred of Abel. The Torah repeatedly demonstrates that faithful individuals and communities may encounter opposition from those who reject God&#8217;s purposes. Abel, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Isaac, and the nation of Israel all experienced various forms of hostility despite acting within God&#8217;s covenant framework. These accounts establish a recurring biblical pattern in which righteousness does not always receive approval from others. Rather than presenting such opposition as unexpected, the Torah portrays it as a recurring reality in a world where some people embrace God&#8217;s ways while others resist them. This pattern provides important background for understanding the instruction not to marvel when the world responds negatively to the followers of Yeshua. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&#8211; Core Insight &#8211; <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strongest Torah parallel to 1 John 3:13 is the recurring contrast between the righteous and those who oppose God&#8217;s purposes. The Torah teaches that hostility toward God&#8217;s faithful servants is not unusual, and 1 John applies this same principle by encouraging believers to view opposition as a continuation of a long-standing biblical pattern rather than as an unexpected event. This is how John taught Torah in the NT; the Torah has not passed away! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This report is based on direct examination of the cited Torah passages and 1 John 3:13 within their literary contexts. The conclusions are derived from explicit textual patterns, distinguish textual observation from theological synthesis, and avoid speculative claims beyond the evidence provided in the biblical text.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bits of Torah Truths &#8211; #Torah Concept in the NT: Marvel not if hated by the world &#8211; Episode 903 1 John 3:13 \u05d0\u05b7\u05d7\u05b7\u05d9, \u05d0\u05b7\u05dc \u05ea\u05b4\u05bc\u05ea\u05b0\u05de\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d0\u05b4\u05dd \u05d4\u05b8\u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd \u05e9\u05c2\u05d5\u05b9\u05e0\u05b5\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05dd. #torah #torahwisdom #torahtruth #torahforlife #torah4you #torahtruth 1 John 3:13 3:13 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.
