A NOTE about the 2001 Translation: You may already know that I write extensively about my frustration with virtually ALL English translations of the Bible: https://peakd.com/library/@creatr/the-curmudgeon-s-bible-my-library-shelf The 2001 Translation does a *remarkably* better job than others, in a number of key areas: particularly, it actually *translates* many Greek words that most other English bibles dismissively and deceptively "transliterate" (please see the article below for details about transliteration). https://peakd.com/bible/@creatr/speaking-in-tongues-the-abcs-of-interpreting-confusing-christian-ese Nonetheless, I have found that the 2001 Translation still carries a rather strong "statist bias" in its rendering of many passages, so I encourage you to study, discuss, and think critically about what you read in ANY English translation... Open to questions, and thank you for reading this far...🙏🏻😀👍
