So that'd be allegorical sense.

The moral sense is the events reported in scripture ought to lead us to act justly.

so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.

So how can I apply this to my moral life?

The saying is sure.

I desire you to insist on these things so that those who have believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds.

That makes a ton of sense.

For example, David leaping and dancing before the ark.

They're like, okay, that's my call to worship God.

These are excellent and profitable to men.

My call to go before the Lord and with joy, to go before the Lord and point to him, to go before the Lord and again.

But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.

be joyful in worship.

As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him.

So the allegorical, the moral sense in the last one, the anagogical sense, this means that we can review realities in terms of their eternal significance.

Knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful, he is self-condemned.

Final Messages and Benediction When I send Artemis or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

So let's go back to David.

David leaping and dancing before the ark on his way into Jerusalem.

Okay, what could that be an anagogical sense of, of like the end?
