JOHN 1:12-13



READING: "12 But to those who did accept him he gave power to become children of God, to those who believe in his name, 13 who were born not by natural generation nor by human choice nor by a man’s decision but of God." - JOHN 1:12-13 (NABRE)

REFLECTION: When you accept Jesus in your heart, you will not be a servant or a slave but a dearly beloved daughter and son of God and God will be your Father. Have you decided to believe in His Name?

PRAYER: Harden not my heart O God and may the Holy Spirit restore my understanding that I may welcome again the embrace of God my Father.

RSV-CE vs. RSV-2CE (JOHN)

Just recently I completed the Gospel of John during my BIAY and while listening I have recorded the differences I noticed between RSV-CE and RSV-2CE. Might be useful to those who are curious about the changes made to the RSV-2CE. Here is a summary of the differences between the RSV-CE and RSV-2CE translations of the Gospel of John based on the provided excerpts: The most frequent difference between the RSV-CE and RSV-2CE in these excerpts is the use of second-person pronouns when addressing God or Jesus. The RSV-CE uses " thou, thee, thy, thine " [e.g., 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 23, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33]. The RSV-2CE uses " you, your, yours " in these instances [e.g., 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 24, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34].
