Featured “ I was naked, and you gave me clothing . . . the least of these,” but half-ruined by hellfire talk.

[Multicolored Lemur]

In ancient Greek culture, "kolasis" was understood as a form of corrective punishment, distinct from "timoria," which referred to retributive justice.

And with these extremely high standards, verse 35 — “For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.”

Standards we can only approximate, and never completely fulfill. And it's not always the best idea to invite a homeless person into your home. Not at all.

PS I welcome that the punishment might be less than first appears. But I'm kind of thinking in this case, no punishment at all!

And you know this how? You speak as though you studied ancient Greek culture and language. Have you formally studied Greek culture and language?

I think this is good advice for most spiritual pursuits.
