Thanks for your contributions, Tim!

This exact phrase is repeated in Scripture (not including the similar Gospel parallels)-- Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the...

Almost entirely identical chapters are Ezra 2 & Nehemiah 7 (staring with verse 6 in Nehemiah). Here is how it begins -- 1 Now these [are] the children of the province that went up out of the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had...

Some are word-for-word verses in Genesis 10 & 1 Chronicles 1, but these two chapters have many similarities throughout (as you might expect from genealogies). Here is just a brief example (KJV) -- 2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and...

Even more identical verses and phrases mostly from the end of Pauline epistles (KJV) -- Rom 16:20b ... The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen. Rom 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all. Amen. 1Co 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you...

Thank you. I didn't consider it work since it I enjoy reading the Word and it has been instructive. Have you discovered any repeating biblical verses or phrases?

More identical Pauline verses and phrases from his epistles (KJV) -- Rom 1:7b ... Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2Co 1:2 Grace [be] to you and peace from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. Gal 1:3 Grace [be] to you and peace from God...

I wonder if any one has noticed an often repeated phrase or redundant verse in the two years since I first posted this issue? I know I have. ________________________ The second occurrences of the phrases in 1 John 2:13-14 below always struck me as possibly introduced early into the text by a...

I admit I don't know grammar well. But it seems to me that the workmen used the money to repair the house of the Lord.

Before I am misunderstood, I believe that Isaiah 7:14 is a messianic prophecy -- but only because the Holy Spirit through Matthew says it is. It is a bit ironic that folks appeal so strongly to the LXX for this passage but would disavow the LXX's trustworthiness virtually everywhere else. By...

Actually, you saw one I provided over two years ago. http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=73323

So, what did it mean to Judeans in the 8th-century BC? Were the Jews then expecting an unwed virgin woman to conceive the Messiah? Are they looking for that today based on Isaiah's writing? Are you asserting that a miraculous Holy Spirit-induced birth actually took place during the reign of...

What verses have been "left out"?

"Deliberately Bad" from the OP There are probably few versions that set out to be "deliberately bad". Most of those books should not qualify to even be called 'bibles'; but very few have been named here. Mostly what has been named are merely "bad" in the poster's opinion, and mostly it...

There are passages in the KJV (and many others) that you would probably not want your child reading.

'Publishing' a book in 1611 was entirely different than in 2011. In fact, those early printers/publishers did occasionally choose the engravings to be used that they had happened to have on hand. What is the title of your book?

I am familiar with the EMTV but have not been able to obtain a copy for myself, but I had not heard of the VanderPool version. To answer the OP question, indeed a great many (especially independent) versions have attempted to translate the verse literally. It does seem that Mark is simply...

Thanks, rsr! And now three more with "fist" -- … by not eating unless they wash their hands with the fist, (Christian Counselor's NT by Jay E. Adams, 1977) ... do not eat unless they wash their hands with a fist (NT Transline by Michael Magill, 2002) … if they cannot wash their hands...

Some comments of my observations -- (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. (2011 NIV) Actually, the NIV is a highly literal rendering with the exception of "give their". "Cerimonial" gives the sense...
