NASB | Hebrews 13:17 ¶ Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 13:17 ¶ Obey your [spiritual] leaders and submit to them [recognizing their authority over you], for they are keeping watch over your souls and continually guarding your spiritual welfare as those who will give an account [of their stewardship of you]. Let them do this with joy and not with grief and groans, for this would be of no benefit to you. |
Subject: Why is marijuana use prohibited? |
Bible Note: Hi, Norrie. In re smoking pot is wrong, you say "now if we can just get the world to understand that." My dear girl, he who can get the "world" to understand that two and two are four will have accomplished a unique feat the likes of which no other person, living or dead, has ever come remotely close to accomplishing! Having been on this forum nearly as long as I, you doubtlessly are prepared to agree that it is all but impossible, even here, to effect anything resembling unanimity of opinion on any issue. If someone ventured to say, for instance, that the majority of facial tissue is white, another would say, "No, not true. In the absence of light, all tissue is black." Could that be called, do you suppose, shedding light on the issue of tissue? --Hank |
