9And wherever the river goes, ▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate, Targum; Hebrew the two rivers go
every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea ▼▼Hebrew lacks the waters of the sea
may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. 10Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From cEngedi to dEneglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of ethe Great Sea. ▼▼That is, the Mediterranean Sea; also verses 15, 19, 20

10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” ▼▼The Greek word anthropoi refers here to both men and women

To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21To lthose outside the law I became mas one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but nunder the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 oTo the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. pI have become all things to all people, that qby all means I might save some.2 Corinthians 12:16
16But granting that rI myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit.
