Mother’s Translation of the Bible
There is a story about four clergymen who were discussing the merits of the various translations of the Bible. One liked the King James Version best because of its beautiful English. Another liked the American Revised Version best because it is more literal and comes nearer to the original Hebrew and Greek. Still another liked Mofatt’s translation best because of its up-to-date vocabulary.
The fourth minister was silent. When asked to express his opinion, he replied, “I like my mother’s translation best.”
The other three expressed surprise. They did not know his mother had translated the Bible.
“Yes, she did,” he replied. “She translated it into life, and it was the most convincing translation I ever saw.”

Man judges a person by his past deeds, and administers penalties for his wrongdoing. God judges a person by his present character, and disciplines him that he may become righteous.

excellent, Paidion. Thank the good Lord I can say that about my mother, and I certainly pray that my kids will say the same about me.
