I thought I knew how this text is phrased in the KJV but my search is coming up short. There is a text in which someone, I think Jesus but I could be wrong says something to the effect, "Let not that man think he will receive anything from the Lord." Does anyone know the reference for this text? Thanks for your help.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Need to find a text.

Thanks, anyhow. The funny thing is I had first searched for "receive anything," and I got no hits. That is because the text is "receive any thing." LOL.dcyates said:Oops. Okay. You already found it.

Oh, really. Is that how it is rendered in the KJV? All due respect to that truly great English translation, but the Greek text, transliterated into English, reads: "me gar oiesthe ho anthropos ekeinos hoti plepsetai ti para tou kuriou," where the Greek term ti should most properly be translated as 'anything'.statrei said:

It has been years since I read the Koine Greek. You made me feel like reimmersing myself, but I will leave it to people like you.dcyates said:

After reading your transliteration I decided to check again. The fault was mine and not of the KJV. The first time I searched I thought it was a saying of Jesus so I restricted my search to the Gospels. The second time I thought it had something to do with a double minded man and I searched the entire NT. The KJV does render ti as 'anything' as it should. I just thought I would clear that up.dcyates said:
