Hello ,
There is a story about four preachers discussing the merits of the various translations of the Bible. One liked the King James Version best because of its simple, beautiful English. Another liked the American Revised Version best because it was closer to the original Hebrew and Greek. Still another liked a contemporary version because of its up-to-date vocabulary.
The fourth minister was silent for a moment, then said, "I like my mother's translation best." Surprised, the other three men said they didn't know his mother had translated the Bible. "Yes," he replied. "She translated it into life, and it was the most convincing translation I ever saw." The picture above is a photo of my own mother's Bible. It's one of my possessions that I cherish most. The pages below it contain lists of
people that she prayed for on a daily basis. What a testimony to a life well lived!
What translation of the Bible are you showing others with your life?
Have a great day and God bless!
