I’ll be posting from the 1587 Geneva Bible and from time to time give another translation in comparison. Enjoy!“For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue, But euery man in his owne order: […]

I’ve used Geneva Bible so you will notice the Old English spelling. “And so they which are a sleepe in Christ, are perished [if Christ did not rise from the dead]. If in this life onely wee haue hope in Christ, we are of all men the most miserable. But nowe is Christ risen from […]

Father, help our memories to be […]

“But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

“What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 14:36, 37 KJV). Father, we know Your Perfect Word was written […]

“And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church” (1 Corinthians 14:35 KJV).  Father, You have explained the perfect order of Your Church. Please help us to abide by it and give us discernment in all things. Through […]
