a new message for Yom Kippur 2016 meditation (2): according to Torah

RomansTree of Life Version (TLV)
Gods Judgment on Unrighteousness
Therefore you are without excuse, O manevery one of you who is judging. For by whatever you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same thingsa]”>[a] We know that Gods judgment on those who practice such things is based on truthBut you, O manjudging those practicing such things yet doing the samedo you suppose that you will escape the judgment of GodOr do you belittle the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patiencenot realizing that Gods kindness leads you to repentance?
But by your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath, when Gods righteous judgment is revealedb]”>[b] He will pay back each person according to his deedsc]”>[c] To those who by perseverance in doing good are seeking glory, honor, and immortalityeternal lifeBut to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousnesswrath and furyThere will be trouble and hardship for every human soul that does evilto the Jew first and also to the Greek10 But there will be glory, honor, and shalom to everyone who does goodto the Jew first and also to the Greek.11 For there is no partiality with God.d]”>[d]
12 For all who have sinned outside of Torah will also perish outside of Torah, and all who have sinned according to Torah will be judged by Torah13 For it is not the hearers of Torahwho are righteous before God; rather, it is the doers of Torah who will be justified.14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the Torah, do by nature the things of the Torah, they are a law to themselves even though they do not have the Torah15 They show that the work of the Torah is written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts switching between accusing or defending them 16 on the day when God judges the secrets of men according to my Good News through Messiah Yeshua.
Jewish People Fall Short Too
17 But if you call yourself Jewish and rely upon the Torah and boast in God 18 and know His will and determine what matters because you are instructed from the Torah— 19 and you are sure that you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Torah the embodiment of knowledge and the truth
21 you then who teach another, do you not teach yourself?
You who preach not to steal, do you steal?
22 
You who say not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery?
You who detest idols, do you rob temples?
23 
You who take pride in the Torah,
through your violation of the Torah, do you dishonor God?
24 
For as it is written, “the name of God is slandered among the nations because of you.”e]”>[e]
25 Circumcision is indeed worthwhile if you keep the Torah; but if you break the Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcisionf]”>[f] 26 Therefore, if the uncircumcised keeps the righteous decrees of the Torah, will not his uncircumcision be counted as circumcisiong]”>[g]27 Indeed, the one not circumcised physically who fulfills the Torah will judge youh]”>[h] whoeven with the written codei]”>[i] and circumcisionbreak the Torah.28 For one is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision something visible in the flesh29 Rather, the Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heartin Spirit not in letter. His praise is not from men, but from God.j]”>[j]

JohnTree of Life Version (TLV)
Water to Wine
On the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in the GalileeYeshuas mother was there,and Yeshua and His disciples were also invited to the weddingWhen the wine ran outYeshuas mother said to Him, “They dont have any wine!”
Yeshua said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with you and Me? My hour hasnt come yet.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever He tells you.”
Now there were six stone jars, used for the Jewish ritual of purification, each holding two to three measuresa]”>[a] Yeshua said to them, “Fill the jars with water!” So they filled them up to the topThen He said to them, “Take some water out, and give it to the headwaiter.” And they brought it.
Now the headwaiter did not know where it had come from, but the servants who had drawn the water knew. As the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, he calls the bridegroom 10 and says to him, “Everyone brings out the good wine first, and whenever they are drunk, then the worse. But youve reserved the good wine until now!” 11 Yeshua did this, the first of the signs, in Cana of the GalileeHe revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
Yeshua Purges the Temple
12 After this Yeshua went down to Capernaum with His mother, brothers,b]”>[b] and disciples, and they stayed there a few days13 The Jewish feast of Passover was near, so Yeshua went up to Jerusalem14 In the Temple, He found the merchants selling oxen, sheep, and doves; also the moneychangers sitting there15 Then He made a whip of cords and drove them all out of the Temple, both the sheep and oxen. He dumped out the coins of the moneychangers and overturned their tables16 To those selling doves, He said, “Get these things out of here! Stop making My Fathers house a marketplace!”17 His disciples remembered that it is written, “Zeal for your House will consume Me!”c]”>[c]
18 The Judean leaders responded, “What sign do You show us, since You are doing these things?”
19 Destroy this Temple,” Yeshua answered them, “and in three days I will raise it up.”
20 The Judean leaders then said to Him, “Forty-six years this Temple was being built, and You will raise it up in three days?” 21 But He was talking about the temple of His body22 So after He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He was talking about this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Yeshua had spoken.
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem for the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, seeing the signs He was doing24 But Yeshua did not entrust Himself to them, because He knew all men25 He did not need anyone to testify about man, for He knew what was in man.
