the king version Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who [1] entered into the temple, 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for [2] alms. 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, “Look on us.” 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something from [3] them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I have none; but such as I have, I give you [4] : In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 And leaping up, he stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him wa...

the king version And when the day of Pentecost had [1] fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly, there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like fire [2] , and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in [3] other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were Jews dwelling at Jerusalem, devout men out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because every [4] man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, “Behold, are not all these who [5] speak Galilaeans? 8 And how we hear every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesop...

The KJV word is bishoprick , which is now archaic in spelling. Most Bible translators didn’t use the modern spelling ‘ bishopric,’ and that, for a good reason. #Acts1v20 For it is written in the book of Psalms: “Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it.”, and, “His bishopric, let another take.” A quick google search shows that bishopric means: the office or rank of a bishop. · a district under a bishop's control; a diocese. But looking closely at the Greek word, episkopé, reveals a deeper meaning: a visiting, an overseeing [Strong's]. Here's the kicker: bishopric k is not a desk job; it's fieldwork. An excellent, Spirit-filled bishop or pastor performs the act of visitation. How does one effectively "oversee" a flock? By being with them, by being among them. When God calls one to be a pastor of a people, the expectation is not like that of a manager who stays in the offic...

the king version The former treatise I have made, O Theophilus, was [1] about [2] all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up, after that He, through the Holy Spirit, had given commandments unto the apostles, whom He had chosen: 3 To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them for [3] forty (40) days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. 4 And, being assembled together with them, He [4] commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, He says [5] , “You [6] have heard from [7] Me; 5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.” 6 When they, therefore, had [8] come together, they asked of Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” 7 And He said unto them, “It is n...
The use of the Present Tense for past time is found in many verses in the original language of the Bible. Greek writers used it as a story-telling device to emphasize certain and important past actions. The Historical Present Tense gives the effect of making past narratives more vivid. Consider this verse: Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? (John 1:38 KJV] Notice how the KJV translators from the Greek text distinguished the past tense "said" and the present tense "saith" or "says." This style is intentional and not a mistake or a lack of a verb form counterpart during their time. My Personal Thoughts Because Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, so He is also saying, right now, in our present-day situation, "I say to you, 'What are you looking for?'" Because God exist...

Christ Jesus is the First Word and the Living Word, and He has the last say. I choose to write my life story in Him. The godly way to be skilled is to be filled with the Spirit. See, I have called by name ( put your name here ) . And I have filled ( him/her ) with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship… (Exo 31:2-3) I sit in the counsel of the godly. (Psa 1:1) I don’t immerse myself in darkness, and then use their wisdom to craft my own. I trust the Lord God that He is the Source. If there is no godly person to emulate, then let me be the first one that Christ Jesus will raise up for others to copy and exemplify. Be a role model in God's eyes, His standard, and His par of excellence. Know then that God is always the First One. Remember, Christ Jesus is the Living Word. And because this matter of interest on copywriting is about words, then I put my trust and devot...
