Matthew 11:27 - All things [pas - all, every, the whole] have/has been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son (yet!) except the Father, and no one knows the Father (yet!) except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

John 17:1-3 - After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
?Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority over aLL (people) that he might give eternal life to aLL you have given him. 3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God (God is Life) and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. (Only straight out from God one, forever firstborn, so close both administer God?s Spirit/Presence.)

Luke 2:10 - Then the angel said to them, Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to aLL people.
     Greek word pas, all, which translators changed to all things whenever possible as in behold I make all new, all in heaven and earth gathered into Jesus, the father has put all in the Son?s hands. But not when it won?t work like in all scripture for training.

1 Timothy 4:10 - That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of aLL (pas) people (anthropos) and especially (malista: most of all, especially, from mala - very much ? very much the case)
of those who believe.

Colossians 1:19-20 - For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things (pas - aLL) whether the upon earth or the in heaven (angelos) by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. (Not to appease an angry god, but what needS to be appeased is the human guilty conscience and delicate psyche. After all it has to be strong enough to appease even the veRy guiltiest conscience of the (cruelest and most heartless) among us. Imperfect is not only the opposite of Life (this entropy, fading away - life as we presently know it, this slow gehenna crucible that flares into flames of earthLy judgment, this all important contrast) but imperfect is an abyss of potential already proven by history. But! If there?d been no option to stray in Eden, creation would have had to be a total ant farm, but instead God opted for total ?herd? immunity?

Highlights the ALL quite well.
Interesting how many apply ALL to fact of sin, yet seem to miss how that also applies to the saved: Seems mainly because the concept of coming "ages" ,plural, is not discussed much. Ephesians 2:7 one example.
