  • Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

    But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
    markec
    markec
    For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

    None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
    Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.

    I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

    Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
    markec
    markec
    Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the Lord, mercy shall compass him about.

    Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.
    Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

    Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

    For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
    Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

    Božiji Blagoslov na tebe i tvoju obitelj, i neka vas obasjava svijetlo našeg kralja i spasitelja Isusa Krista danas, sutra i svaki dan.
    And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

    And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
    But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

    The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
    markec
    markec
    But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
    For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

    For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
    markec
    markec
    So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

    For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
    For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

    If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

    But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
    For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

    But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

    Poor earth, no roof to hide under while drinkething. Also, alcohol is bad, as Allah teacheths.
    Which version of the bible do recommend? I thought the King James version was the best, but I've heard it has some inaccuracies. I'm trying to find a version that is as close to a literal word-for-word translation as possible that also hasn't been modified to be "inclusive" or altered due to "archaic word usage".

    what for?
    markec

    Im really not a expert but I did try few and I choose King James version since I found the archaic style interesting, but I usually just read my older Croatian version. I tried reading few other editions just to see the difference in them but in the end I keep sticking to this two. My advice is to go to site like biblegateway.com that can easily switch between translations and try to find which you like the most.

    unless it's not authorized it's really dubious to assume discrepancies emerged in bad faith, all are valid and personally I find KJ fetishism a little troublesome :? but then again i only ever read the bible in full in polish, the millenium bible edition
    But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

    For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
    For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

    I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

    Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

    Just going to post this before checking if it is just a passage from the Bible.

    Don't do it Markec, life is life is living the life and it gets better.
    And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

    In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
    markec
    markec
    If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
    As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

    Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

    Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
    But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

    Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

    But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
    That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

    For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.

    But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
    Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.

    For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

    And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
    markec
    markec
    Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;

    Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;

    And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
    O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

    For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

    Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

    For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
    Jvegi

    I hath know the mind of the Lord. Not impressed, sadly.
    Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

    But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.

    Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness
    Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

    Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

    Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

    For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
    Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

    Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

    Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
    Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

    All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

    For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
    Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

    Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

    Hath not my hand made all these things?
    And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

    And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
    markec
    markec
    And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

    The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

    And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
