Bible Question: I never said it was me I cut and pasted it. All I was doing was trying to help someone. If you are here to judge me for that wow. |
Bible Answer: talchapy :: No one is "judging" you, so please stop trying to play the martyr! No, you didn't say the words were yours but neither did you say whose words they were, even though it is fairly obvious that you knew they were extracted from Matthew Henry's Commentaries. It is usually perfectly fine to cite a segment of a published work provided due credit is given to the publication and its author (but be sure the author and publisher permit the quotation of even short segments from the copyrighted work). To engage in plagiarism (wherein no credit is given to the source) is strictly forbidden on Study Bible Forum. We can appreciate your desire to help someone, but please do so in compliance with Forum guidelines. Please augment your understanding of those guidelines through a careful study of the information to be found at the resource entitled "About the Forum." --Hank |
