HCSB Compared With TNIV

Revelation

Nothing of note to report for the book of Jude.

Revelation

16:5

H : for You have decided

T : because you have so judged

Net : because you have passed these judgments

NRSV : for you have judged these things

NLTse : because you have sent these judgments

["Decided" is too weak.That's what I have decided.]

21:3

H : God's dwelling is with men

T : God's dwelling place is now among the people

REB : and God himself will be among them

NRSV : and God himself will be with them

[ "With men" is too old-fashioned.]

The following references have a more literal word or phrase in the text of TNIV.The HCSB had a more dynamic rendering:13:16;14:20;16:20;17:7 and 18:24.

Well,I've wrapped things up with this post.I'll not be going into the Old Testament -- don't worry.

 

From The Book Of James

Just a reminder for those with the subject of gender-inclusiveness on their mind.

 

1 John

Another reminder.

 

Yeah,this time-traveler occasionally pops into the present once in a while.

 

I have made some additions for this post dealing with the book of James.

 

I have before me James White's book :The God Who Justifies.On page 334 he specifically deals with 2:14 of James,but I think his words are meant for wider application to the whole book.

[The NET takes the plural masculine as a generic plural for the entire Christian congregation("Brothers and sisters"),recognizing that the words of James apply equally to men and women.]

Now James White is a conservative,complementarian Calvinist.It would be absurd to say he has feminist-leanings. Those kinds of reckless potshot remarks are common on the BB.But it doesn't wash with the truth.And it is sinful to attribute such a characterization to those who have no fondness for the movement as Bible-believing Christians.
