Bible translations

[paulnoel]

Four young men were discussing the merits of various translations of the Bible. Three of them mentioned specific versions of the Bible, but the fourth remaind silent.
When pressed for his opinion, he replied, "I like my mother's translation best. She translated it into life, and it was the most convincing translation I ever saw."

(JOHN 3; 20-21)
All those who do evil things hate the light and will not come to the light, because they do not want their evil deeds to be shown up. But those who do what is true come to the light in order that the light may show that what they did was in obedience to God.

It took me a couple reads to get it, but I like it. The Bible has such meaning when it is put into action. And which Bible you read is not nearly as important. As long as it is read AND implemented...that's what counts, regardless of whether you are a fledgling Christian or a learned theologian.

[font=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Ex 24:7 - http://bible.crosswalk.com/OnlineSt...age=ex+24:7&version=cjb&context=1&showtools=1[/font]Then he took the book of the covenant and read it aloud, so that the people could hear; and they responded, "Everything that ADONAI has spoken, we will do and obey."[font=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica] [/font]

[font=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]De 5:27 - [/font]You, go near; and hear everything ADONAI our God says. Then you will tell us everything ADONAI our God says to you; and we will listen to it and do it.'

Romans 2:13 ...for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the TORAH will be justified.

James 1:22-25
Don't deceive yourselves by only hearing what the Word says, but do it! For whoever hears the Word but doesn't do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror, who looks at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But if a person looks closely into the perfect Torah, which gives freedom, and continues, becoming not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work it requires, then he will be blessed in what he does
