No Verses

Romans 1:9 (KJV) For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Romans 1:9 (NASB95) For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you,

(Proverbs 10 also read)

Take a moment to look at this verse in both translations.  You may notice that the KJV talks about making mention of them in their prayers but you don’t see that in the NASB.  This is one of those cases where you need to be reminded that the original manuscripts did not have the divisions in verses and chapters.  It was one continuous manuscript and later translators made the divisions.

If you have your Bible in front of you, you’ll notice that the phrase about prayer is included in the NASB, but in the next verse.  The translators had to make a decision whether they were going to make this a part of the previous verse or the start of the next verse.

Again, I think this is one of those cases where we don’t have to make a decision of either/or but the Holy Spirit is directing us to both/and.

So?  Look for things that you think might be discrepancies, put on your thinking cap, open your mind to the leader ship of the Spirit, and grow in grace and wisdom.
