Here's the passage from the Catholic Public Domain Translation which is translated from the Vulgate into English.
Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times, repented that he had made man on the...
John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only Son, who is the same as God and is at the Father's side, he has made him known. (GNB)

Peter turned around and saw behind him that other disciple, whom Jesus loved—the one who had leaned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, "Lord, who is going to betray you?" When Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?" Jesus answered him, "If I want him to live until I...
In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of his nature, upholding the...
A good comprehensive concordance will be useful for this thread.

I have a collection of books that many would call devotional or liturgy of prayer.
I use some Protestant books such as
Daily Light from the Trinitarian Bible Society and
My Utmost For His Highest which has Pentecostal roots and
The Book of Common Prayer which is Anglican - the one I use is...
The Lamb and the 144,000
Revelation 14:1And I beheld, and lo a lamb stood upon mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the noise of many waters, and as the voice of...
Titus 2:13 waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Christ Jesus.
This verse is translated according to the Granville Sharp rule. That rule was mentioned in the thread about 2 Peter 1:1-2.
So is Jesus the great God and...

The First Day: Light
3And God said: Be light made. And light was made. 4And God saw...
Romans 9:5(NJB) To them belong the fathers and out of them, so far as physical descent is concerned, came Christ who is above all, God, blessed for ever. Amen.
Is this an accurate translation?
Some say no. The NAB says
And the bible produced by Jehovah's witnesses says:
In Greek it reads...
John 10:33 The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy: and because that thou. being a, man, makest thyself God.
Are the Jews right? Was Jesus making himself the equal of God?
What table of contents ought the bible to have?
Some might think that this topic is theological and from a certain point of view it may seem so but in reality is it in fact a matter for bible study.
My most used bibles have 73 entries in their table of contents for the bible text and usually a...
2Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, servant and apostle of Jesus Christ: to them that have obtained equal faith with us in the justice of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Grace to you and peace be accomplished in the knowledge of God and of Christ Jesus our Lord. (DRB)
The words our God and Saviour...
John 5:18(DRB) Hereupon therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he did not only break the sabbath but also said God was his Father, making himself equal to God.
The verse appears to be the narrator's comment. It could be read as an assessment of the Jew's thinking which may be...
