2 Corinthians 7:1
New International Version
“7 Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates ‘body’ [nephesh: person, one(-s), etc..] and ‘spirit’ [ruwach: expression, mind, etc..], perfecting ‘holiness’ [ha-kodesh: the-consecrated(-ion), dedicated(-ion), etc..] out of ‘reverence‘ [yare: fear, moral(-ity) reverence, etc..] for ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the Magistrates, the-Angels, etc..].“
Paraphrasing ‘Jesus’ (YH’shua: YH saves, etc..), ” ‘Your will’ (YHWH ‘Elohiym’s word and works) be done ‘on earth’ (IN US) as it is in heaven.”
‘Amein’ (Amen: So be it, Truth, etc..)

The Significance of YHWH (or YHVH), the Name of the ‘Elohiym of Israel (replaced by the term Lord, in the Bible, ~7000 times):
YHWH or YHVH (I AM THAT I AM):
“According to the Hebrew Bible, in the encounter of the burning bush (Exodus 3:14) Moses asks what he is to say to the Israelites when they ask what ‘gods’ (‘Elohiym) have sent him to them, and YHWH replies, “I am who I am”, adding, “Say this to the people of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ”
YHWH, the Name that quite literally refers to what the “I AM THAT I AM” – is or will be, “the Way, the Truth, the Life”….
..the Name that defines ‘Elohiym’s Word and Works.
“Used as an emphatic statement,” that of the steward’s wisdom in action; ‘spirit’ (ha-ruwach: ‘Elohiym’s mind, expression, etc..), as seen in the heavenly messengers, ambassadors, appointed men, women, and prophets – leading to ‘YH’shua’ (YH Saves); ultimately as seen in the faithful of YHWH.
“I WILL BE THAT I WILL BE”.
The question is, WILL WE BE?
May, “YHWH bless you and keep you!” Numbers 6: 24-26.
