What is the new Jerusalem Bible version?

[McCree79]

Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life.

One man's offence brought condemnation on all humanity; and one man's good act has brought justification and life to all humanity.

he wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth.

The Lord is not slow in carrying out his promises, as some people think he is; rather is he being patient with you, wanting nobody to be lost and everybody to be brought to repentance.

And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shall draw all people to myself.

Rippon,
Will you please post Romans 5:19 as well?

Thank you sir

 

[Rippon]

Matthew 8:14
And going in Peter's house Jesus found Peter's mother-in-law in bed and feverish.

Matthew 12:48
Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?

John 2:5
His mother said to the servants,'Do whatever he tells you.'

Just as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience are many to be made upright.

Mt 8:14: very similar to ESV and HCSB
Mt 12:48: very similar to NLT
Jn 2:5 very similar to ESV

Thank you again!

It is indeed interesting that a Roman Catholic translation is honest enough to let traditional RC doctrine be vacated from the text. The translators had some integrity.

Peter calls himself a fellow-elder. There is no hint of Peter have a Pope-like power.

Peter had a mother-in-law. He was married. Shocking to the sensibilities!

Mary is regarded as anyone else. Who indeed is my mother?

Mary instructs others to do as Jesus asks. His power, authority and influence is clearly superior to that of Mary.

Wow....I missed your intent of those verses. I was focused on the renderings and not how they related to Catholic doctrine.

Good point

 

[McCree79]

Of course, the RCC does not fear the scriptural contradictions to their doctrine. Tradition trumps all.

Rippon,

How does the NJB handle these verses?

Mt 1:24-25
Lk 2:7

 

[Rippon]

Matthew 1:24,25
When Joseph woke up he did what the angel of the Lord had told him to do: he took his wife to his home; he had not had intercourse with her when she gave birth to a son; and he named him Jesus.

[Sometimes the English is inelegant. "When" isn't the appropriate word --"until" is.

Luke 2:7
And she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living-space.

[living-space?]

 

[Rippon]

Luke 1:46b-47
My soul glorfies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
[That goes against RC dogma that Mary is sinless. She was in as much need of a Savior as the rest of us. A sinless person doesn't doesn't call on a Savior.]

So does Luke 2:24
and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.
[Joseph and Mary offer a sacrifice. Only sinners in the old covenant offer sacrifices.]

...agreed

Luke 2:7

[living-space?]

Well, at least they left "first-born" in there.
