CONTEST RULES:
You will not be able to answer any of these question from the NIV.
No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited.
Please don't beat on us for this.
We only mean to point out the FACT that there is a difference between versions. And, if a difference then one must be right and the other wrong.
You decide which is right and which is wrong and stop halting between two (or more) opinions.
We have given you facts and have not stated any opinion. We have not set ourselves up as an authority. The Word of God is The Authority and our prayer is that He will make up for our lack.
In Christ,
