Khelo India: Quality of shooting reflects sport's growing stature in India
Pune, Jan 17 (IANS) The growing stature of shooting as a sport in India was amply reflected in the quality of competition and intense battles for the 19 gold medals on offer at the Khelo India Youth Games 2019 here.
That as many as 11 states won at least one gold medal is also an indication of the widespread popularity of the sport.
Punjab led the charts with three gold, three silver and four bronze medals while Madhya Pradesh, riding on the strength of the State-government set up shooting academy in Bhopal, had three gold, one silver and four bronze medals. Haryana, with two gold, four silver and a bronze medal pipped Rajasthan (2-3-1) to the third spot.
There were many wonderful memories made in the competition — Mehuli Ghosh's duel in the girls Under-21 10m air rifle with Elavenil Valarivan was glittering in its intensity, Dhanush Srikanth, who became the only hearing-impaired athlete to win gold, walked into many a heart with his skills.
The likes of Arjun Singh Cheema, Adarsh Singh, Harshada Nithave and Devanshi Rana delivered the goods so tellingly that the threat of some of the sheen being taken away by the absence of pistol wizards like Saurabh Chauhdary, Anish Bhanwala, Manu Bhaker and Muskaan was dealt with quite efficiently.
The beautiful diversity in the Trap gold winners, Manavaditya Singh Rathore and Manisha Keer in the boys Under-21 and girls Under-21 sections was there for all to see. Manavaditya is the son of Olympic double trap silver medallist and Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore and the latter is the daughter of a Bhopal fisherman, Kailash.
In one of the more poignant stories, Anjali Choudhary (Haryana) was left ruing her luck after she ran short of ammunition in the girls Under-21 25m sports pistol final, no thanks to an extended shoot-off, lasting over 20 shots, with Maharashtra's Abhidnya Ashok Patil. She managed three hits with the four cartridges she was left with in the end.
There is no knowing what would have happened if she had that fifth cartridge. Eventually, ace marksman Jaspal Rana's daughter Devanshi Rana (Delhi) ran out a 24-23 winner, having arrested a meltdown in the latter half of the dramatic final.
There were other moving accounts of Sartaj Singh Tiwana (Punjab) training only twice a week but showing potential to win the 50m 3-position event for boys Under-21.
Similarly, G. Varshaa, who won Tamil Nadu's only gold medal in the ranges, also does not get to train often but displayed grit, determination and good marksmanship to win the women's 50m 3-position final.
The contrasting success of Abhinav Shaw (West Bengal), 10, and Esha Singh (Telangana), 13, also contributed to making the shooting events a very special one. Abhinav, a shy, withdrawn rifle shooter from Asansol, was quite the opposite of the outgoing and bubbly pistol champion Esha Singh from Hyderabad, but they were both bound by the desire to excel and win.

Stories from Gaza
Jabaliya refugee camp, Gaza Strip 15 September 2004
On the 8th of September, Israeli occupying forces made an incursion into the Jabaliya refugee camp - now home to 80,000 Palestinian refugees and their descendents for the past 56 years. The operation went on for three long days In the first few hours of the incursion 4 people were killed and tens of others were injured, many of them seriously. According to physicians who tended to the wounded the Israeli soldiers targeted the chest, abdomen and lower limbs, of boys who were throwing stones at the army tanks and bulldozers while they demolished homes and razed agricultural land. 30 houses were destroyed — 10 completely and 20 partially — which left at least 200 people homeless. The youngsters were protesting in their own way against the presence of the occupying forces in their town, some of them didn't live to tell the tale. Read more about Stories from Gaza

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) enables you to set aside tax-free money in an account that you can use to pay for eligible health care or dependent day care expenses. By using tax-free money to pay for these expenses, you lower your taxable income, which can reduce the amount of taxes you pay. You can elect the Health Care FSA, the Dependent Day Care FSA, or both. You can enroll in an FSA even if you're not enrolled in other Hertz benefits.
Plan carefully when determining how much to contribute. You must incur eligible expenses no later thanSeptember 15 and submit for reimbursement by December 31 following the end of the prior plan year (June 30). Any unused balance will be forfeited.
Our FSA partner is UMR. See this step-by-step guide for how to register, file a claim, and more. To save time and avoid paper checks, you may choose to have reimbursements made by direct deposit into your bank account. Simply complete and submit the Direct Deposit Authorization Form.
The Health Care Flexible Spending Account (Health Care FSA or HCFSA) allows you to set aside money $100 to $2,700 annually to pay for eligible health care expenses with pre-tax dollars. Use the account to pay for medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug expenses, including deductibles, copays, and coinsurance.
When you enroll in the Health Care FSA, you'll receives an FSA convenient debit card for dental, vision, and prescription drug expenses. You cannot use your debit card for medical claims. You must either pay for your medical claims through auto reimbursement or by filing a manual HCFSA claim form.
If you're enrolled in a Hertz medical plan administered by UMR and you submit a medical claim, any eligible medical expense balance that is not paid by the plan will automatically be reimbursed from your Health Care FSA. You won't have to file an FSA claim.
If you choose to opt out of automatic reimbursement of claims, you may do so by completing the Automatic Reimbursement Opt Out Form. You can download the form here. You may wish to opt out of automatic reimbursement if you need to use the funds for an expense other than medical plan items (dental, vision, etc.)
If you opt out of automatic FSA reimbursement, and later decide you would like to again select automatic reimbursement, just complete the Automatic Reimbursement Form. You can download the form here.
If you're enrolled in the Consumer Health Account Plan 1 or 2, your HCFSA dollars will be automatically used after you've exhausted your HRA.
Note that regardless of how you pay your claims, you may still need to submit documentation of your purchases.
The Dependent Day Care FSA (DCFSA) allows you to set aside up to $5,000 annually ($2,500 maximum if you are married and file separate tax returns) to pay eligible dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars.
Note: The Dependent Day Care FSA is for child care or elder care expenses. It is NOT for health care expenses for your dependents. Use the account to pay for child care or elder care expenses while you and your spouse work or attend school. Examples of eligible expenses include:
When you have a dependent day care expense, you pay the provider and then file a claim for reimbursement by completing and submitting a DCFSA claim form. You must include your receipt with your claim, clearly marking it as paid, in order to be reimbursed.

Plugins/Artefact/Problems & Conditions
From Mahara Wiki
< Plugins | Artefact
This plugin adds the ability for students to record case notes about medical conditions, and share them with others. A nice feature is a category browser that makes it easy for users to choose what conditions to associate with a given case note.
This plugin was developed by Catalyst IT with funding from Cambridge University School of Clinical Medicine, who have kindly agreed to open-source the result.
You can download the code here, though note that it is designed to run against Mahara's master branch, which is currently unstable. This plugin will not run against Mahara 1.1.
The plugin adds a new tab under "My Portfolio" called "My Casenotes", which is where the case notes reside.
The conditions browser is based on the Mac OS X finder column view.

"She Said Her Name Was Saffron"
(to the tune of "May Morning Dew", traditional)
by Marc Gunn
(Listen to it here)
I met her on the Outer Rim.
She was a beauty. There's no denial.
We danced around the fire that night.
In the morning, I awoke all smiles.
But when my boat hit atmo,
And she said that we were married.
T'was then I vowed I'd never again
Leave quick when I should tarry.
She said her name was Saffron,
A prize for work done well.
I know we'd done some good works,
But this time I guess excelled.
For her smile it made my legs weak,
And her breasts they made me wheeze.
Oh if I were a different man,
Then I'd show her the Real me.
That night I found her in my bunk
Lying naked in my bed.
She gave me the Goodnight Kiss
And I thought that I was dead.
We'd all be but for Inara…
Oh, I wonder how she knew?
But what I really wish is I could've seen
The kiss between those two.
But that's not the point of this song, right now,
From this lesson I learnt too well.
If you take strange women into your bed
You may go to the Special Hell.
Either pin her down or set her free
Just don't let your plan go South.
If that don't work, then follow Jayne's advice,
"Never kiss them on the mouth."
From the creator:
"I got your email while touring through Ireland. I didn't think I would have time to write anything, but lo and behold lyrics came to me. And of course, being in Ireland, I had to use an Irish melody. After writing them in my notebook, I decided to actually learn the melody and began singing it. I'm VERY happy I did, because I lost the notebook that I wrote the original lyrics in. So when I got back to the States, I had to rewrite it from memory. And most of it stayed intact with a few minor edits after watching 'Our Mrs. Reynolds'."
"Thanks for a million for the contest. If nothing else, it FINALLY inspired me to write a song based on Firefly, whereas I've only had ideas up until now that I never drafted. So this rocks. Hope ye enjoy in any case."

We recognize the value of managing IC compliance within the broader operational and risk management construct of the contingent labor governance model.
GREENVILLE, S.C. (PRWEB) October 17, 2016
Sourcing for Services announces the launch of sister company SFS Compliance Solutions, LLC, in response to the increasingly complex legal risk environment of employee classifications, and the continued demand from customers and partners for conflict-free independent and objective contractor compliance and risk management services.
Independent contractors, frequently referred to as IC's or freelancers, represent a growing part of contingent workforces that companies increasingly rely upon to meet production goals.
According to an article in the U.S. Labor Department's Monthly Labor Review titled "Freelancers in the U.S. Workforce," approximately one in every three workers are ICs, and that ratio is expected to rise to almost 50 percent in coming years. However, companies that engage ICs are exposed to heightened risk when it comes to regulatory compliance regarding the legal classification of non-employee workers.
Federal and state regulating agencies require strict legal criteria be met and supporting documentation maintained in order to avoid government claims of independent contractor misclassification. IC misclassification can cost a company between 10 – 80 percent of an ICs annual pay in back payroll taxes, benefits and penalties.
The SFS Compliance Solutions team has amassed expertise in employment law, intelligence based IC compliance technology, and IC program management best practices that together deliver right channel access to all external resources, monitoring procedures across all risk entry points into the organization and integrated channel management that optimizes talent engagement cycle times, ensuring proper trade-offs between risk, value and costs.
SFS Compliance Solutions is being positioned as an extension of the statement of work (SOW) service delivery model that Sourcing for Services has successfully developed and implemented over the last 18 months within the contingent labor programs at multiple Fortune 1000 companies.
"Because we are already woven into the fabric of the program services model with our support of SOW, we are in an ideal position to take on the management of independent contractor risk and access for our clients," says SFS co-founder and CEO, Ken Hernandez.
SFS COO and co-founder Michael Matherly adds that since SFS is not in the recruiting, staffing or employer of record business, like most other IC compliance shops, the company can provide its clients with an independent and objective IC management solution without adding an external vendor to manage or monitor a potential conflict.
"We recognize the value of managing IC compliance within the broader operational and risk management construct of the contingent labor governance model," Matherly says. "We launched SFS Compliance Solutions in part because we are experiencing an increasing number of clients who question the conflicted business objectives of so-called 'total IC or program solution' providers."
To learn more about SFS Compliance Solutions products and services, visit http://www.SFSCompliance.com, email Michael Matherly at michael(at)SFSCompliance(dot)com, or call +1 (864) 321-0729
About Sourcing For Services, LLC.
Sourcing For Services, LLC (SFS) is a strategic sourcing advisory firm and an outsource provider of procurement services. Established in 2014, SFS developed the "Spend Management Platform™" approach to statement of work (SOW)-based spend management for mid- to large-size companies seeking to establish, scale or mature its procurement program capabilities. SFS markets the stand-alone solution exclusively as a private label offering to its staffing managed service provider (MSP) and vendor management system (VMS) partners in the contingent labor industry. The Spend Management Platform™ product, along with SFS's unique brand of procurement consultancy, is also marketed directly to clients. SFS is currently serving multiple Fortune 500 companies, directly and through its strategic MSP partnerships.
About SFS Compliance Solutions, LLC.
SFS Compliance Solutions, LLC is an independent solution provider for the management of independent contractors and freelancers, including classification testing, audit proof file documentation, and risk-protected access to the talent that our client organizations need. Founded and run by industry veterans, SFS Compliance Solutions is a complementary expansion of sister company Sourcing for Services's statement of work management practice. Their existing presence in the contingent labor programs of Fortune 500 & 1000 clients, and the fact that SFS Compliance Solutions is not in the recruiting or staffing agency business, makes the bundled IC compliance and SOW management solution the SFS family offers a compelling and conflict-free alternative to traditional models.

KJV w/Strong# - {7} ...thou art <1488> no <3765> more <2089> a servant <1401>, but a son <5207>; and if <1487> a son <5207>, then <2532> an heir <2818> of God <2316> through <1223> Christ <5547>.
NRSV - 7 ...you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God.
TEV - 6 To show that you are his sons and daughters, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries out, "Father, my Father." 7 So then, you are no longer a slave but a son or daughter. And since that is what you are, God will give you all that he has for his heirs.
KJV w/Strong# - {14} For as many <3745> as are led <71> by the Spirit <4151> of God <2316>, they are the sons <5207> of God <2316>. {15} For ye have not received <2983> the spirit <4151> of bondage <1397> again <3825> to fear <5401>; but ye have received <2983> the Spirit <4151> of adoption <5206>, whereby <3739> we cry <2896>, Abba <5>, Father <3962>. {16} The Spirit <4151> itself <846> beareth <4828> witness <4828> with our spirit <4151>, that we are the children <5043> of God <2316>: {17} And if <1487> children <5043>, then <2531> heirs <2818>; heirs <2818> of God <2316>, and joint-heirs <4789> with Christ <5547>; if <1512> so be that we suffer <4841> with [him], that we may be also <2532> glorified <4888> together <4888>. {18} For I reckon <3049> that the sufferings <3804> of this <3588> present <3568> time <2540> [are] not worthy <514> [to be compared] with the glory <1391> which shall be revealed <601> in us. {19} For the earnest <603> expectation <603> of the creature <2937> waiteth <553> for the manifestation <602> of the sons <5207> of God <2316>. {20} For the creature <2937> was made <5293> subject <5293> to vanity <3153>, not willingly <1635>, but by reason <1223> of him who hath subjected <5293> [the same] in hope <1680>, {21} Because <3754> the creature <2937> itself <846> also <2532> shall be delivered <1659> from the bondage <1397> of corruption <5356> into <1519> the glorious <1391> liberty <1657> of the children <5043> of God <2316>.
NRSV - 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. 18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; 20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
TEV - 12 So then, my brothers and sisters, we have an obligation, but it is not to live as our human nature wants us to. 13 For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live. 14Those who are led by God's Spirit are God's children. 15 For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, "Father! my Father!" 16 God's Spirit joins himself to our spirits to declare that we are God's children. 17 Since we are his children, we will possess the blessings he keeps for his people, and we will also possess with Christ what God has kept for him; for if we share Christ's suffering, we will also share his glory. 18 I consider that what we suffer at this present time cannot be compared at all with the glory that is going to be revealed to us. 19 All of creation waits with eager longing for God to reveal his children. 20 For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. Yet there was the hope 21that creation itself would one day be set free from its slavery to decay and would share the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22 For we know that up to the present time all of creation groans with pain, like the pain of childbirth. 23 But it is not just creation alone which groans; we who have the Spirit as the first of God's gifts also groan within ourselves, as we wait for God to make us his children and set our whole being free. 24 For it was by hope that we were saved; but if we see what we hope for, then it is not really hope. For which of us hopes for something we see? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
NOTE: "In hope" is the beginning of a prepositional clause that begins in Rom 8:20 and continues in Rom 8:21. Unfortunately, the KJV punctuates these verses poorly. The comma should precede "in hope" rather than follow it. And the Greek word hoti <Strong's # 3754> should be translated "that" instead of "because". This was a case where the KJV translators had the correct Greek text, but the translators themselves apparently did not understand the meaning. (When I read from the KJV, I freely change the punctuation to reflect the originally intended meaning.)
The original 1611 edition of the KJV read exactly as follows: "20 For the creature was made subiect to vanitie, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subiected the same in hope: 21 Because the creature it selfe also shall bee deliuered from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious libertie of the children of God."
(There are no typographical errors in the above quote. The 1611 KJV used different spelling and punctuation than our current versions of the KJV. In some cases it also used different words than our several current versions. For more details on this issue, see "Part 3" of the webpage entitled, "Why the King James Version differs with modern versions," which can be read by browsing or clicking on http://www.bibletexts.com/kjv-mod.htm.)
The TEV translates these two verses: "[20] For creation was condemned to lose its purpose, not of its own will, but because God willed it to be so. {See Gen 3:17-19} Yet there was the hope [21] that creation itself would one day be set free from its slavery to decay and would share the glorious freedom of the children of God."
The NRSV translates these two verses: "[20] for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope [21] that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God."
Regarding this passage, the Harper's Bible Commentary (Edited by James Luther Mays, New York: Harper and Row, Publishers, Inc., 1988) writes, "The world's futility and 'decay' (i.e., its vulnerability to the ravages of time), two of its most characteristic marks to Hellenistic thinking, are not the result of anything it has done; there is no 'fall' of creation. Rather, they are part of the created order and fall under God's own 'expectation that the creation itself will be set free' to share in the glorious liberty of God's children (Rom. 8:20-21), so bearing their own testimony to God's transcending future."
This passage may be better understood in light of 1Co 15:22-24,45-58. S&H 566:1 also sheds some significant light on this, as do S&H 288:31-290:2 and S&H 316:3-7.
<B1> Romans 9
KJV w/Strong# - {8} ...They which are the children <5043> of the flesh <4561>, these <5023> [are] not the children <5043> of God <2316>: but the children <5043> of the promise <1860> are counted <3049> for the seed <4690>.
NRSV - 8 ...it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as descendants.
TEV - 6 I am not saying that the promise of God has failed; for not all the people of Israel are the people of God. 7 Nor are all Abraham's descendants the children of God. God said to Abraham, "It is through Isaac that you will have the descendants I promised you." 8 This means that the children born in the usual way are not the children of God; instead, the children born as a result of God's promise are regarded as the true descendants. 9 For God's promise was made in these words: "At the right time I will come back, and Sarah will have a son."
KJV w/Strong# - {1} Comfort <05162> ye, comfort <05162> ye my people <05971>, saith <0559> your God <0430>.
{3} The voice <06963> of him that crieth <07121> in the wilderness <04057>, Prepare <06437> ye the way <01870> of the LORD <03068>, make straight <03474> in the desert <06160> a highway <04546> for our God <0430>.
{6} The voice <06963> said <0559>, Cry <07121>. And he said <0559>, What <04100> shall I cry <07121>? All <03605> flesh <01320> [is] grass <02682>, and all <03605> the goodliness <02617> thereof [is] as the flower <06731> of the field <07704>:
{8} The grass <02682> withereth <03001>, the flower <06731> fadeth <05034>: but the word <01697> of our God <0430> shall stand <06965> for ever <05769>.
NRSV - 1Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God.
3 A voice cries out: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
6 A voice says, "Cry out!" And I said, "What shall I cry?" All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field.
8 The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.
TEV - 1"Comfort my people," says our God. "Comfort them! 2 Encourage the people of Jerusalem. Tell them they have suffered long enough and their sins are now forgiven. I have punished them in full for all their sins."
3 A voice cries out, "Prepare in the wilderness a road for the Lord! Clear the way in the desert for our God! 4 Fill every valley; level every mountain. The hills will become a plain, and the rough country will be made smooth. 5 Then the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and the whole human race will see it. The Lord himself has promised this."
6 A voice cries out, "Proclaim a message!" "What message shall I proclaim?" I ask. "Proclaim that all human beings are like grass; they last no longer than wild flowers. 7 Grass withers and flowers fade, when the Lord sends the wind blowing over them. People are no more enduring than grass. 8 Yes, grass withers and flowers fade, but the word of our God endures for ever."
KJV w/Strong# - {22} Cease <02308> ye from man <0120>, whose <0834> breath <05397> [is] in his nostrils <0639>: for wherein <04100> is he to be accounted <02803> of?
NRSV - 22 Turn away from mortals, who have only breath in their nostrils, for of what account are they?
TEV - 17-18 Human pride will be ended, and human arrogance will be destroyed. Idols will completely disappear, and the Lord alone will be exalted on that day. 19 People will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the Lord's anger and to hide from his power and glory, when he comes to shake the earth. 20 When that day comes, they will throw away the gold and silver idols they have made, and abandon them to the moles and the bats. 21 When the Lord comes to shake the earth, people will hide in holes and caves in the rocky hills to try to escape from his anger and to hide from his power and glory. 22 Put no more confidence in mortals. What are they worth?
KJV w/Strong# - {1} But now <06258> thus <03541> saith <0559> the LORD <03068> that created <01254> thee, O Jacob <03290>, and he that formed <03335> thee, O Israel <03478>, Fear <03372> not: for I have redeemed <01350> thee, I have called <07121> [thee] by thy name <08034>; thou [art] mine.
{6} I will say <0559> to the north <06828>, Give <05414> up; and to the south <08486>, Keep <03607> not back <03607>: bring <0935> my sons <01121> from far <07350>, and my daughters <01121> from the ends <07097> of the earth <0776>; {7} [Even] every <03605> one that is called <07121> by my name <08034>: for I have created <01254> him for my glory <03519>, I have formed <03335> him; yea <0637>, I have made <06213> him.
{21} This <02098> people <05971> have I formed <03335> for myself; they shall shew <05608> forth my praise <08416>.
NRSV - 1 But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.
6 I will say to the north, "Give them up," and to the south, "Do not withhold; bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the end of the earth— 7 everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."
21 the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise.
TEV - 1 Israel, the Lord who created you says, "Do not be afraid—I will save you. I have called you by name—you are mine. 2 When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burnt; the hard trials that come will not hurt you. 3 For I am the Lord your God, the holy God of Israel, who saves you. I will give up Egypt to set you free; I will give up Ethiopia and Seba. 4 I will give up whole nations to save your life, because you are precious to me and because I love you and give you honour. 5 Do not be afraid—I am with you! "From the distant east and the farthest west, I will bring your people home. 6 I will tell the north to let them go and the south not to hold them back. Let my people return from distant lands, from every part of the world. 7 They are my own people, and I created them to bring me glory."...
14 Israel's holy God, the Lord who saves you, says, "To save you, I will send an army against Babylon; I will break down the city gates, and the shouts of her people will turn into crying. 15 I am the Lord, your holy God. I created you, Israel, and I am your king." 16 Long ago the Lord made a road through the sea, a path through the swirling waters. 17 He led a mighty army to destruction, an army of chariots and horses. Down they fell, never to rise, snuffed out like the flame of a lamp! 18 But the Lord says, "Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. 19 Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already—you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there. 20 Even the wild animals will honour me; jackals and ostriches will praise me when I make rivers flow in the desert to give water to my chosen people. 21 They are the people I made for myself, and they will sing my praises!"
<B5> John 1
KJV w/Strong# - {1} In the beginning <746> was the Word <3056>, and the Word <3056> was with God <2316>, and the Word <3056> was God <2316>.
{6} There was a man <444> sent <649> from God <2316>, whose <846> name <3686> [was] John <2491>. {7} The same <3778> came <2064> for a witness <3141>, to bear <3140> witness <3140> of the Light <5457>, that all <3956> [men] through <1223> him might believe <4100>. {8} He was not that Light <5457>, but [was sent] to bear <3140> witness <3140> of that Light <5457>. {9} [That] was the true <228> Light <5457>, which <3739> lighteth <5461> every <3956> man <444> that cometh <2064> into <1519> the world <2889>.
{11} He came <2064> unto his own, and his own received <3880> him not. {12} But as many <3745> as received <2983> him, to them gave <1325> he power <1849> to become <1096> the sons <5043> of God <2316>, [even] to them that believe <4100> on <1519> his name <3686>: {13} Which <3739> were born <1080>, not of blood <129>, nor <3761> of the will <2307> of the flesh <4561>, nor <3761> of the will <2307> of man <435>, but of God <2316>.
NRSV - 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8 He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. 9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
11 He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. 12 But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God.
TEV - 1 In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 From the very beginning the Word was with God. 3 Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. 4 The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to humanity. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out. 6 God sent his messenger, a man named John, 7 who came to tell people about the light, so that all should hear the message and believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came to tell about the light. 9 This was the real light—the light that comes into the world and shines on everyone. 10 The Word was in the world, and though God made the world through him, yet the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him. 12 Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God's children. 13 They did not become God's children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father.
He was the same as God appears in most translations as "the Word was God" [Revised Standard Version (RSV), JB, NAB]. NEB renders by "what God was, the Word was" and Mft "the Logos was divine" {Goodspeed (Gdsp) "the Word was divine"]. Zurcher Bible (Zur) has "the Word was God," with a footnote indicating that this means the Word possessed a divine nature.
These many differences in translation are due to the Greek sentence structure. In this type of equational sentence in Greek (A=B) the subject can be distinguished from the predicate by the fact that the subject has the article before it and the predicate does not. Since "God" does not have the article preceding it, "God" is clearly the predicate and "the Word" is the subject. This means that "God" is here the equivalent of an adjective, and this fact justifies the rendering he (the Word) was the same as God. John is not saying that "the Word" was God the Father, but he is affirming that the same divine predication can be made of "the Word" as can be made of God the Father and so "the Word" can be spoken of as God in the same sense.
Many languages have two quite different types of equational sentences. One type indicates complete identity in such as sensence as "my husband is John Smith" or "John Smith is my husband," that is, the two parts of the sentence are completely equivalent. In the second type, however, one may say "John Smith is a teacher" but cannot say "A teacher is John Smith." "A teacher" merely qualifies "John Smith" and indicates the class of persons to which he belongs. The latter is precisely the type of equational sentence which occurs in this verse. "God" completely characterizes "the Word," and all that is true of God is true of the Word. This does not mean, however, that the two elements can be inverted, and that one can translated "God was the Word" any more than one can one can make "Love is God" an inversion of the biblical statement "God is love." It is difficult for some people to recongize that this equational sentence in Greek belongs to the second class because in the predicate the term "God" refers to the unique object. Since this type of equational sentence may be misleading with "God" in the predicate, it is better to translate it "The Word was the same as God" or "Just what God was that is what the Word also was."
KJV w/Strong# - {1} Jesus <2424> went <4198> unto the mount <3735> of Olives <1636>. {2} And early <3722> in the morning he came <3854> again <3825> into <1519> the temple <2411>, and all <3956> the people <2992> came <2064> unto him; and he sat <2523> down <2523>, and taught <1321> them.
{12} Then <3767> spake <2980> Jesus <2424> again <3825> unto them, saying <3004>, I am <1510> the light <5457> of the world <2889>: he that followeth <190> me shall not walk <4043> in darkness <4653>, but shall have <2192> the light <5457> of life <2222>.
{51} Verily <281>, verily <281>, I say <3004> unto you, If <1437> a man <5100> keep <5083> my saying <3056>, he shall never <165> see <2334> death <2288>.
NRSV - 1 1 while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them.
12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
51 Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death."
TEV - [[1...Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early the next morning he went back to the Temple. All the people gathered round him, and he sat down and began to teach them... ]]
12 Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. "I am the light of the world," he said. "Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness." 13 The Pharisees said to him, "Now you are testifying on your own behalf; what you say proves nothing." 14 "No," Jesus answered, "even though I do testify on my own behalf, what I say is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. You do not know where I came from or where I am going. 15 You make judgements in a purely human way; I pass judgement on no one. 16 But if I were to do so, my judgement would be true, because I am not alone in this; the Father who sent me is with me. 17 It is written in your Law that when two witnesses agree, what they say is true. 18 I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me also testifies on my behalf."
48 They asked Jesus, "Were we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon in you?" 49 "I have no demon," Jesus answered. "I honour my Father, but you dishonour me. 50 I am not seeking honour for myself. But there is one who is seeking it and who judges in my favour. 51 I am telling you the truth: whoever obeys my teaching will never die."
KJV w/Strong# - {4} For whatsoever <3956> is born <1080> of God <2316> overcometh <3528> the world <2889>: and this <3778> is the victory <3529> that overcometh <3528> the world <2889>, [even] our faith <4102>. {5} Who <5101> is he that overcometh <3528> the world <2889>, but he that believeth <4100> that Jesus <2424> is the Son <5207> of God <2316>?
{11} And this <3778> is the record <3141>, that God <2316> hath given <1325> to us eternal <166> life <2222>, and this <3778> life <2222> is in his Son <5207>.
NRSV - 4 for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. 5 Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
11 And this is the testimony: God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
TEV - 1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Messiah is a child of God; and whoever loves a father loves his child also. 2 This is how we know that we love God's children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands. 3 For our love for God means that we obey his commands. And his commands are not too hard for us, 4 because every child of God is able to defeat the world. And we win the victory over the world by means of our faith. 5 Who can defeat the world? Only the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 6 Jesus Christ is the one who came with the water of his baptism and the blood of his death. He came not only with the water, but with both the water and the blood. And the Spirit himself testifies that this is true, because the Spirit is truth. 7 There are three witnesses: 8 the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and all three give the same testimony. 9 We believe human testimony; but God's testimony is much stronger, and he has given this testimony about his Son. 10 So all who believe in the Son of God have this testimony in their own hearts; but those who do not believe God have made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed what God has said about his Son. 11 The testimony is this: God has given us eternal life, and this life has its source in his Son. 12 Whoever has the Son has this life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

KJV w/Strong# - {1} And as [Jesus] passed <3855> by, he saw <1492> a man <444> which was blind <5185> from [his] birth <1079>. {2} And his disciples <3101> asked <2065> him, saying <3004>, Master <4461>, who <5101> did sin <264>, this <3778> man, or <2228> his parents <1118>, that he was born <1080> blind <5185>? {3} Jesus <2424> answered <611>, Neither <3777> hath this <3778> man sinned <264>, nor <3777> his parents <1118>: but that the works <2041> of God <2316> should be made manifest <5319> in him. {4} I must <1163> work <2038> the works <2041> of him that sent <3992> me, while <2193> it is day <2250>: the night <3571> cometh <2064>, when <3753> no <3762> man <3762> can <1410> work <2038>. {5} As long <3752> as I am <1510> in the world <2889>, I am <1510> the light <5457> of the world <2889>. {6} When he had thus <5023> spoken <2036>, he spat <4429> on <5476> the ground <5476>, and made <4160> clay <4081> of the spittle <4427>, and he anointed <2025> <1909> the eyes <3788> of the blind <5185> man with the clay <4081>, {7} And said <2036> unto him, Go <5217>, wash <3538> in the pool <2861> of Siloam <4611>, (which is by interpretation <2059>, Sent <649>.) He went <565> his way therefore <3767>, and washed <3538>, and came <2064> seeing <991>.
NRSV - 1 As he walked along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God's works might be revealed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent mewhile it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 6 When he had said this, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man's eyes, 7 saying to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see.
TEV - 1 As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been born blind. 2 His disciples asked him, "Teacher, whose sin caused him to be born blind? Was it his own or his parents' sin?" 3 Jesus answered, "His blindness has nothing to do with his sins or his parents' sins. He is blind so that God's power might be seen at work in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must keep on doing the work of him who sent me; night is coming when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light for the world." 6 After he said this, Jesus spat on the ground and made some mud with the spittle; he rubbed the mud on the man's eyes 7 and said, "Go and wash your face in the Pool of Siloam." (This name means "Sent".) So the man went, washed his face, and came back seeing. 8 His neighbours, then, and the people who had seen him begging before this, asked, "Isn't this the man who used to sit and beg?" 9 Some said, "He is the one," but others said, "No he isn't; he just looks like him." So the man himself said, "I am the man." 10 "How is it that you can now see?" they asked him. 11 He answered, "The man called Jesus made some mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and told me to go to Siloam and wash my face. So I went, and as soon as I washed, I could see."
KJV w/Strong# - {7} How <04100> excellent <03368> [is] thy lovingkindness <02617>, O God <0430>! therefore the children <01121> of men <0120> put their trust <02620> under the shadow <06738> of thy wings <03671>.
{9} For with thee [is] the fountain <04726> of life <02416>: in thy light <0216> shall we see <07200> light <0216>.
NRSV - 7 How precious is your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of your wings. 8 They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. 9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
TEV - 7 How precious, O God, is your constant love! We find protection under the shadow of your wings. 8 We feast on the abundant food you provide; you let us drink from the river of your goodness. 9 You are the source of all life, and because of your light we see the light.
<B10> Isaiah 8
KJV w/Strong# - {19} And when <03588> they shall say <0559> unto you, Seek <01875> unto them that have familiar spirits <0178>, and unto wizards <03049> that peep <06850>, and that mutter <01897>: should not a people <05971> seek <01875> unto their God <0430>? ...
NRSV - 19 Now if people say to you, "Consult the ghosts and the familiar spirits that chirp and mutter; should not a people consult their gods,...
TEV - 16 You, my disciples are to guard and preserve the messages that God has given me. The Lord has hidden himself from his people, but I trust him and place my hope in him. 18 Here I am with the children the Lord has given me. The Lord Almighty, whose throne is on Mount Zion, has sent us as living messages to the people of Israel. 19 But people will tell you to ask for messages from fortune tellers and mediums, who chirp and mutter. They will say, "After all, people should ask for messages from the spirits and consult the dead on behalf of the living." 20 You are to answer them, "Listen to what the Lord is teaching you! Don't listen to mediums—what they tell you cannot keep trouble away."
KJV w/Strong# - {6} Let no <3367> man <3367> deceive <538> you with vain <2756> words <3056>:...
{8} For ye were sometimes <4218> darkness <4655>, but now <3568> [are ye] light <5457> in the Lord <2962>: walk <4043> as children <5043> of light <5457>: {9} (For the fruit <2590> of the Spirit <4151> [is] in all <3956> goodness <19> and righteousness <1343> and truth <225>;) {10} Proving <1381> what <5101> is acceptable <2101> unto the Lord <2962>. {11} And have no <3361> fellowship <4790> with the unfruitful <175> works <2041> of darkness <4655>, but rather <3123> reprove <1651> [them]. {12} For it is a shame <149> even <2532> to speak <3004> of those <3588> things which are done <1096> of them in secret <2931>. {13} But all <3956> things that are reproved <1651> are made <5319> manifest <5319> by the light <5457>: for whatsoever <3956> doth make <5319> manifest <5319> is light <5457>. {14} Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004>, Awake <1453> thou that sleepest <2518>, and arise <450> from the dead <3498>, and Christ <5547> shall give thee light <2017>.
{17} Wherefore <5124> be ye not unwise <878>, but understanding <4920> what <5101> the will <2307> of the Lord <2962> [is].
NRSV - 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words,...
8 For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light— 9 for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. 10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; 13 but everything exposed by the light becomes visible, 14 for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Sleeper, awake! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
17 So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
TEV - 1 Since you are God's dear children, you must try to be like him. 2 Your life must be controlled by love, just as Christ loved us and gave his life for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God. 3 Since you are God's people, it is not right that any matters of sexual immorality or indecency or greed should even be mentioned among you. 4 Nor is it fitting for you to use language which is obscene, profane, or vulgar. Rather you should give thanks to God. 5 You may be sure that no one who is immoral, indecent, or greedy (for greed is a form of idolatry) will ever receive a share in the Kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Do not let anyone deceive you with foolish words; it is because of these very things that God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him. 7 So have nothing at all to do with such people. 8 You yourselves used to be in the darkness, but since you have become the Lord's people, you are in the light. So you must live like people who belong to the light, 9 for it is the light that brings a rich harvest of every kind of goodness, righteousness, and truth. 10 Try to learn what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the worthless things that people do, things that belong to the darkness. Instead, bring them out to the light. 12 (It is really too shameful even to talk about the things they do in secret.) 13 And when all things are brought out to the light, then their true nature is clearly revealed; 14 for anything that is clearly revealed becomes light. That is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, and rise from death, and Christ will shine on you." 15 So be careful how you live. Don't live like ignorant people, but like wise people. 16 Make good use of every opportunity you have, because these are evil days. 17 Don't be fools, then, but try to find out what the Lord wants you to do. 18 Do not get drunk with wine, which will only ruin you; instead, be filled with the Spirit. 19 Speak to one another with the words of psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing hymns and psalms to the Lord with praise in your hearts. 20 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, always give thanks for everything to God the Father.
<B12> John 2
KJV w/Strong# - {13} And the Jews <2453>' passover <3957> was at <1451> hand <1451>, and Jesus <2424> went <305> up to Jerusalem <2414>, {14} And found <2147> in the temple <2411> those <3588> that sold <4453> oxen <1016> and sheep <4263> and doves <4058>, and the changers <2773> of money <2773> sitting <2521>: {15} And when he had made <4160> a scourge <5416> of small <4979> cords <4979>, he drove <1544> them all <3956> out of the temple <2411>, and the sheep <4263>, and the oxen <1016>; and poured <1632> out the changers <2855>' money <2772>, and overthrew <390> the tables <5132>; {16} And said <2036> unto them that sold <4453> doves <4058>, Take <142> these <5023> things hence <1782>; make <4160> not my Father's <3962> house <3624> an house <3624> of merchandise <1712>.
{18} Then <3767> answered <611> the Jews <2453> and said <2036> unto him, What <5101> sign <4592> shewest <1166> thou unto us, seeing that thou doest <4160> these <5023> things? {19} Jesus <2424> answered <611> and said <2036> unto them, Destroy <3089> this <5126> temple <3485>, and in three <5140> days <2250> I will raise <1453> it up. {20} Then <3767> said <2036> the Jews <2453>, Forty <5062> and six <1803> years <2094> was this <3778> temple <3485> in building <3618>, and wilt thou rear <1453> it up in three <5140> days <2250>? {21} But he spake <3004> of the temple <3485> of his body <4983>. {22} When <3753> therefore <3767> he was risen <1453> from the dead <3498>, his disciples <3101> remembered <3415> that he had said <3004> this <5124> unto them; and they believed <4100> the scripture <1124>, and the word <3056> which <3739> Jesus <2424> had said <2036>.
NRSV - 13 The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and doves, and the money changers seated at their tables. 15 Making a whip of cords, he drove all of them out of the temple, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 He told those who were selling the doves, "Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father's house a marketplace!"
18 The Jews then said to him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?" 19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 The Jews then said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he was speaking of the temple of his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
TEV - 13 It was almost time for the Passover Festival, so Jesus went to Jerusalem. 14 There in the Temple he found people selling cattle, sheep, and pigeons, and also the moneychangers sitting at their tables. 15 So he made a whip from cords and drove all the animals out of the Temple, both the sheep and the cattle; he overturned the tables of the moneychangers and scattered their coins; 16 and he ordered those who sold the pigeons, "Take them out of here! Stop making my Father's house a market place!" 17 His disciples remembered that the scripture says, "My devotion to your house, O God, burns in me like a fire." 18 The Jewish authorities replied with a question, "What miracle can you perform to show us that you have the right to do this?" 19 Jesus answered, "Tear down this Temple, and in three days I will build it again." 20 "Are you going to build it again in three days?" they asked him. "It has taken forty-six years to build this Temple!" 21 But the temple Jesus was speaking about was his body. 22 So when he was raised from death, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the scripture and what Jesus had said.
KJV w/Strong# - {14} And God <2316> hath both <2532> raised <1453> up the Lord <2962>, and will also <2532> raise <1825> up us by his own <848> power <1411>.
NRSV - 14 And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.
TEV - 12 Someone will say, "I am allowed to do anything." Yes; but not everything is good for you. I could say that I am allowed to do anything, but I am not going to let anything make me its slave. 13 Someone else will say, "Food is for the stomach, and the stomach is for food." Yes; but God will put an end to both. The body is not to be used for sexual immorality, but to serve the Lord; and the Lord provides for the body. 14 God raised the Lord from death, and he will also raise us by his power.
KJV w/Strong# - {1} For we know <1492> that if <1437> our earthly <1919> house <3614> of [this] tabernacle <4636> were dissolved <2647>, we have <2192> a building <3619> of God <2316>, an house <3614> not made <886> with hands <886>, eternal <166> in the heavens <3772>. {2} For in this <5129> we groan <4727>, earnestly <1971> desiring <1971> to be clothed <1902> upon with our house <3613> which <3588> is from heaven <3772>:
{4} For we that are in [this] tabernacle <4636> do groan <4727>, being burdened <916>: not for that we would <2309> be unclothed <1562>, but clothed <1902> upon, that mortality <2349> might be swallowed <2666> up of life <2222>.
NRSV - 1 For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling—...
4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan under our burden, because we wish not to be unclothed but to be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
TEV - 1 For we know that when this tent we live in—our body here on earth—is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last for ever. 2 And now we sigh, so great is our desire that our home which comes from heaven should be put on over us; 3 by being clothed with it we shall not be without a body. 4 While we live in this earthly tent, we groan with a feeling of oppression; it is not that we want to get rid of our earthly body, but that we want to have the heavenly one put on over us, so that what is mortal will be transformed by life. 5 God is the one who has prepared us for this change, and he gave us his Spirit as the guarantee of all that he has in store for us.
<B15> Colossians 3
KJV w/Strong# - {1} If <1487> ye then <3767> be risen <4891> with Christ <5547>, seek <2212> those <3588> things which are above <507>, where <3757> Christ <5547> sitteth <2521> on <1722> the right <1188> hand of God <2316>. {2} Set <5426> your affection <5426> on things above <507>, not on things on <1909> the earth <1093>.
{4} When <3752> Christ <5547>, [who is] our life <2222>, shall appear <5319>, then <5119> shall ye also <2532> appear <5319> with him in glory <1391>. {5} Mortify <3499> therefore <3767> your <5216> members <3196> which <3588> are upon the earth <1093>;...
{9} Lie <5574> not one <240> to another <240>, seeing that ye have put <554> off <554> the old <3820> man <444> with his deeds <4234>; {10} And have put <1746> on <1746> the new <3501> [man], which <3588> is renewed <341> in knowledge <1922> after <2596> the image <1504> of him that created <2936> him:
{12} Put <1746> on <1746> therefore <3767>, as the elect <1588> of God <2316>, holy <40> and beloved <25>, bowels <4698> of mercies <3628>, kindness <5544>, humbleness <5012> of mind, meekness <4236>, longsuffering <3115>; {13} Forbearing <430> one <240> another <240>, and forgiving <5483> one <1438> another <1438>, if <1437> any <5100> man have <2192> a quarrel <3437> against <4314> any <5100>: even <2532> as Christ <5547> forgave <5483> you, so <3779> also <2532> [do] ye. {14} And above <1909> all <3956> these <5125> things [put on] charity <26>, which <3748> is the bond <4886> of perfectness <5047>.
NRSV - 1 So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth,
4 When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. 5 Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly:...
9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have stripped off the old self with its practices 10 and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its creator.
12 As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
TEV - 1 You have been raised to life with Christ, so set your hearts on the things that are in heaven, where Christ sits on his throne at the right-hand side of God. 2 Keep your minds fixed on things there, not on things here on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 Your real life is Christ and when he appears, then you too will appear with him and share his glory! 5 You must put to death, then, the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust, evil passions, and greed (for greed is a form of idolatry). 6 Because of such things God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him. 7At one time you yourselves used to live according to such desires, when your life was dominated by them. 8 But now you must get rid of all these things: anger, passion, and hateful feelings. No insults or obscene talk must ever come from your lips. 9 Do not lie to one another, for you have taken off the old self with its habits and have put on the new self. This is the new being which God, its Creator, is constantly renewing in his own image, in order to bring you to a full knowledge of himself. 11 As a result, there is no longer any distinction between Gentiles and Jews, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarians, savages, slaves, and free, but Christ is all, Christ is in all. 12 You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you. 14 And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity. 15 The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct each other with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts. 17 Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father.
KJV w/Strong# - {17} Therefore <5620> if <1487> any <1536> man [be] in Christ <5547>, [he is] a new <2537> creature <2937>: old <744> things are passed <3928> away; behold <2400>, all <3956> things are become <1096> new <2537>.
NRSV - 17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!
TEV - 16 No longer, then, do we judge anyone by human standards. Even if at one time we judged Christ according to human standards, we no longer do so. 17 Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come. 18 All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also. 19 Our message is that God was making the whole human race his friends through Christ. God did not keep an account of their sins, and he has given us the message which tells how he makes them his friends.

I have some experience with crises. There's something really important to keep in mind when you're in one.
You've gotten through every crisis you've ever faced.
Think about it. There are only two ways to get through a crisis: pull through or die. If you're not dead, you got through it.
I'm sure some of those crises hurt. Some of them may have even permanently damaged you. You may wish you hadn't gone through them.
You may be dreading that process now. You may not want to go through whatever it is the crisis will take you through. I get that.
But let's be clear: that's what you're actually dreading. Not the end of you.
Because you've gotten through every crisis you've ever faced.
This is really important. When a crisis strikes, it's not so much the crisis that endangers you. It's your response to the crisis.
Are you relaxed? Alert? Ready to react and move? Or are you paralyzed? Frozen? Unable to help yourself?
It's healthy to be afraid in a crisis. It enables you to do what you need to do to survive. Fear is not anxiety.
Fear causes a fight or flight response. Anxiety on the other hand causes paralysis. Usually when a crisis comes, there's some of both.
So the best thing to do is to recognize what part of what you're feeling is fear, and what part is anxiety. Take steps to respond to the fear. Do whatever you can to prepare for, or react to the thing that scares you.
What about the anxiety? Ignore it. Why?
Repeat after me. "You've gotten through…" Then leave a comment.

2019: MASSOB, APGA fight over Bianca Ojukwu
Agency Reports
The proscribed Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and Biafran Independent Movement (BIM) have passed a vote of no confidence on the All Progressives Grand Alliance over the conduct of the Anambra South Senatorial primaries and the denial of ticket to Bianca, the widow of ex-Biafran warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu.
MASSOB has been outlawed by the Federal Government over acts of terrorism.
The group also warned politicians to desist from using ex-Biafran warlord's pictures for political campaigns, adding that a seven-day ultimatum had been issued to those having his pictures on their vehicles for political purpose to remove them.
The no-confidence vote was passed at a joint meeting of the two groups in Owerri on Monday, where the founder and leader of the proscribed group, Ralph Uwazuruike, presided over the meeting.
The meeting, which recorded large attendance of MASSOB and BIM members across the state, resolved that APGA erred in the conduct of the primaries.
The group claimed that Mrs Ojukwu was unjustly denied the Anambra South Senatorial ticket.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mrs Ojukwu lost the contest to Nicholas Ukachukwu.
However, Mr Uwazuruike, in the resolution, said Mrs Ojukwu merited the party's automatic ticket for the position, going by the antecedents and influence of her late husband who was the leader of the party while alive.
"Why can't the wife of our leader get automatic ticket when other aspirants from other two zones got automatic tickets?
"APGA does not want any member of Ojukwu's family to be carried along but they want to win elections with Ojukwu's picture; even Ojukwu's son contested earlier through the party's platform but failed," he said.
"We are talking about the founder and former leader of the party; Ojukwu is the symbol of the party and he should be respected for that even in death.
"APGA has derailed and we will not support the party for any position in Igbo land because our late leader has been humiliated and insulted and we will stand to protect his integrity," he said.
He said APGA had been hijacked by cabals who now use the party as a money-making venture, adding that the party would not win the election in 2019.
Reacting, National Director of Publicity of the party, Ifeatu Okoye, told NAN that the party was democratic in handling its affairs.
He said APGA was doing everything possible to ensure that popular aspirants emerged.
Mr Okoye said the decision of MASSOB and BIM would not affect their chances of winning the election.
He further said a committee had been set up to look into what played out in Mrs Ojukwu's election.
