This is Galatians chapter 2.

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

The great theologian John Owen in the 1600s wrote, The growth of trees and plants takes place so slowly that it's not easily seen.

You know, there's a common misunderstanding of the Bible by both Christians and non-Christians alike that the notion of the Bible is a translation upon a translation upon a translation.

So a lot of people think the end result is so garbled it hardly represents the original.

And

there are people, and I've been reading this on Facebook recently, that there are like hundreds of translations of the Bible.

Well, that's a problem.

So therefore, none of them is

true.

Before that, it was only the King James, and before that, the Geneva, But the most common was the only Bible really in America was the King James in the 1800s and

1700s, more like Geneva.
