Another recent issue in Bible translations is the use of gender-neutral or gender-inclusive language. The NIV is furthest over on the thought for thought spectrum than any other well-known translations. It is second only to the New American Standard Bible for being the most literal well-known translation. It does rarely use gender-neutral language in certain specific cases, when the Greek or Hebrew word could be neutral, and the context is clearly neutral.
Bible Verse Comparison. But your job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to you. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law.

We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. Comments: I was flabbergasted at the audacity of The Message.
Paul would never have said such a thing: 1 the worst sin listed in Scripture is unpardonable and, therefore, would without remedy separate one from Christ; 2 There is not one single passage of Scripture that supports the contention that no sin is capable of separating a believer from Christ. Colossians For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;.
For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.
So you also are complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority. Everything of God gets expressed in him, so you can see and hear him clearly.

When you come to him, that fullness comes together for you, too. His power extends over everything. I think it captures nicely what the text is teaching.

Rather, Paul asserts that the fullness of the divine nature or of deity dwells in him. Translation Comparison Chart from Zondervan. Reading Level. Number of Translators. Translation Philosophy.
