Not my quotation marks. They came with the excerpt..............
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians+2%3A14-16&version=NIV
Okay, I looked it up...........the quotation marks are used because Paul is quoting from Old Testament scripture.
Deut. 32:5
Which Paul knew verbatim. He was a trained Rabbi...............
Interesting. Thanks for looking that up Red.
Happy FReeping!
