He lives in the heights above, 6 but he bends down to see the heavens and the earth. 7 He raises the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from their misery 8 and makes them companions of princes, the princes of his people. 9 He honors the childless wife in her home; he makes her happy by giving her children. Praise the LORD!

KJV <Strong's #> - 1 The LORD <03068> [is] my light <0216> and my salvation <03468>;...

8 [When thou saidst <0559>], Seek <01245> ye my face <06440>; my heart <03820> said <0559> unto thee, Thy face <06440>, LORD <03068>, will I seek <01245>.

Don't be angry with me; don't turn your servant away. You have been my help; don't leave me, don't abandon me, O God, my savior. 10 My father and mother may abandon me, but the LORD will take care of me.

KJV <Strong's #> - 2 ...Peninnah <06444> had <01961> children <03206>, but Hannah <02584> had no <0369> children <03206>.

8 Then said <0559> Elkanah <0511> her husband <0376> to her, Hannah <02584>, why <04100> weepest <01058> thou? and why <04100> eatest <0398> thou not? and why <04100> is thy heart <03824> grieved <07489>? [am] not I better <02896> to thee than ten <06235> sons <01121>? 9 So Hannah <02584> rose <06965> up after <0310> they had eaten <0398> in Shiloh <07887>, and after <0310> they had drunk <08354>. Now Eli <05941> the priest <03548> sat <03427> upon a seat <03678> by a post <04201> of the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>. 10 And she [was] in bitterness <04751> of soul <05315>, and prayed <06419> unto the LORD <03068>, and wept <01058> sore.

17 Then Eli <05941> answered <06030> and said <0559>, Go <03212> in peace <07965>: and the God <0430> of Israel <03478> grant <05414> [thee] thy petition <07596> that thou hast asked <07592> of him. 18 And she said <0559>, Let thine handmaid <08198> find <04672> grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>. So the woman <0802> went <03212> her way <01870>, and did eat <0398>, and her countenance <06440> was no <03808> more <05750> [sad].

20 Wherefore it came <01961> to pass, when the time <03117> was come <08622> about after Hannah <02584> had conceived <02030>, that she bare <03205> a son <01121>, and called <07121> his name <08034> Samuel <08050>, [saying], Because <03588> I have asked <07592> him of the LORD <03068>.

KJV - 2 ...Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

8 Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons? 9 #So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the Lord. 10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore.

17 Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 18 And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.

20 Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the Lord.

NRSV - 2 ...Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

8 Her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep? Why do you not eat? Why is your heart sad? Am I not more to you than ten sons?" 9 After they had eaten and drunk at Shiloh, Hannah rose and presented herself before the LORD. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat beside the doorpost of the temple of the LORD. 10 She was deeply distressed and prayed to the LORD, and wept bitterly.

17 Then Eli answered, "Go in peace; the God of Israel grant the petition you have made to him." 18 And she said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." Then the woman went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was sad no longer.

20 In due time Hannah conceived and bore a son. She named him Samuel, for she said, "I have asked him of the LORD."

TEV - "Elkanah and His Family at Shiloh" - 1 There was a man named Elkanah, from the tribe of Ephraim, who lived in the town of Ramah in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham and grandson of Elihu, and belonged to the family of Tohu, a part of the clan of Zuph. 2 Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah did not. 3 Every year Elkanah went from Ramah to worship and offer sacrifices to the LORD Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the LORD. 4 Each time Elkanah offered his sacrifice, he would give one share of the meat to Peninnah and one share to each of her children. 5 And even though he loved Hannah very much he would give her only one share, because the LORD had kept her from having children. 6 Peninnah, her rival, would torment and humiliate her, because the LORD had kept her childless. 7 This went on year after year; whenever they went to the house of the LORD, Peninnah would upset Hannah so much that she would cry and refuse to eat anything. 8 Her husband Elkanah would ask her, "Hannah, why are you crying? Why won't you eat? Why are you always so sad? Don't I mean more to you than ten sons?"

"Hannah and Eli" - 9...10 One time, after they had finished their meal in the house of the LORD at Shiloh, Hannah got up. She was deeply distressed, and she cried bitterly as she prayed to the LORD. Meanwhile, Eli the priest was sitting in his place by the door. 11 Hannah made a solemn promise: "LORD Almighty, look at me, your servant! See my trouble and remember me! Don't forget me! If you give me a son, I promise that I will dedicate him to you for his whole life and that he will never have his hair cut." 12 Hannah continued to pray to the LORD for a long time, and Eli watched her lips. 13 She was praying silently; her lips were moving, but she made no sound. So Eli thought that she was drunk, 14 and he said to her, "Stop making a drunken show of yourself! Stop your drinking and sober up!" 15 "No, I'm not drunk, sir," she answered. "I haven't been drinking! I am desperate, and I have been praying, pouring out my troubles to the LORD. 16 Don't think I am a worthless woman. I have been praying like this because I'm so miserable." 17 "Go in peace," Eli said, "and may the God of Israel give you what you have asked him for." 18 "May you always think kindly of me," she replied. Then she went away, ate some food, and was no longer sad.

"Samuel's Birth and Dedication" - 19 The next morning Elkanah and his family got up early, and after worshiping the LORD, they went back home to Ramah. Elkanah had intercourse with his wife Hannah, and the LORD answered her prayer. 20 So it was that she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, and explained, "I asked the LORD for him."

KJV <Strong's #> - 1 And Hannah <02584> prayed <06419>, and said <0559>, My heart <03820> rejoiceth <05970> in the LORD <03068>, mine horn <07161> is exalted <07311> in the LORD <03068>:...

2 [There is] none <0369> holy <06918> as the LORD <03068>: for [there is] none <0369> beside <01115> thee: neither <0369> [is there] any rock <06697> like our God <0430>.

20 And Eli <05941> blessed <01288> Elkanah <0511> and his wife <0802>, and said <0559>, The LORD <03068> give <07760> thee seed <02233> of this <02063> woman <0802> for the loan <07596> which <0834> is lent <07592> to the LORD <03068>. And they went <01980> unto their own home <04725>. 21 And the LORD <03068> visited <06485> Hannah <02584>, so that she conceived <02030>, and bare <03205> three <07969> sons <01121> and two <08147> daughters <01121>. And the child <05288> Samuel <08050> grew <01431> before <05973> the LORD <03068>.

KJV - 1 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord, mine horn is exalted in the Lord:...

2 There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.

20 And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The Lord give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went unto their own home. 21 And the Lord visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the Lord.

NRSV - 1 Hannah prayed and said, "My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted in my God...

2 "There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

20 Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "May the LORD repay you with children by this woman for the gift that she made to the LORD"; and then they would return to their home. 21 And the LORD took note of Hannah; she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.

TEV - "Hannah's Prayer" - 1 Hannah prayed: "The LORD has filled my heart with joy; how happy I am because of what he has done! I laugh at my enemies; how joyful I am because God has helped me! 2 "No one is holy like the LORD; there is none like him, no protector like our God. 3 Stop your loud boasting; silence your proud words. For the LORD is a God who knows, and he judges all that people do. 4 The bows of strong soldiers are broken, but the weak grow strong. 5 The people who once were well fed now hire themselves out to get food, but the hungry are hungry no more. The childless wife has borne seven children, but the mother of many is left with none.

"Samuel at Shiloh" - 18 In the meantime the boy Samuel continued to serve the LORD, wearing a sacred linen apron. 19 Each year his mother would make a little robe and take it to him when she accompanied her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice. 20 Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say to Elkanah, "May the LORD give you other children by this woman to take the place of the one you dedicated to him." After that they would go back home. 21 The LORD did bless Hannah, and she had three more sons and two daughters. The boy Samuel grew up in the service of the LORD.

KJV <Strong's #> - 1 God <0430> be merciful <02603> unto us, and bless <01288> us; [and] cause his face <06440> to shine <0215> upon us. 2 That thy way<01870> may be known <03045> upon earth <0776>, thy saving <03444> health among all <03605> nations <01471>.

KJV - 1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. 2 That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

NRSV - 1 May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, 2 that your way may be known upon earth, your saving power among all nations.

TEV - "A Song of Thanksgiving" - 1 God, be merciful to us and bless us; look on us with kindness, 2 so that the whole world may know your will; so that all nations may know your salvation.

KJV <Strong's #> - 11 For I [am] with thee, saith <05002> the LORD <03068>, to save <03467> thee:...

13 [There is] none <0369> to plead <01777> thy cause <01779>, that thou mayest be bound <04205> up: thou hast no <0369> healing <08585> medicines <07499>.

15 Why <04100> criest <02199> thou for thine affliction <07667>?...

17 For I will restore <05927> health <0724> unto thee, and I will heal <07495> thee of thy wounds <04347>, saith the LORD <03068>;...

22 And ye shall be my people <05971>, and I will be your God <0430>.

KJV - 11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee:...

13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

15 Why criest thou for thine affliction?...

17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord;...

22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

NRSV - 11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you;...

13 There is no one to uphold your cause, no medicine for your wound, no healing for you.

15 Why do you cry out over your hurt?...

17 For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, says the LORD,...

22 And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

TEV - "The LORD's Promises to His People" - 11 I will come to you and save you. I will destroy all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not destroy you. I will not let you go unpunished; but when I punish you, I will be fair. I, the LORD, have spoken." 12 The LORD says to his people, "Your wounds are incurable, your injuries cannot be healed. 13 There is no one to take care of you, no remedy for your sores, no hope of healing for you. 14 All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer care about you. I have attacked you like an enemy; your punishment has been harsh because your sins are many and your wickedness is great. 15 Complain no more about your injuries; there is no cure for you. I punished you like this because your sins are many and your wickedness is great. 16 But now, all who devour you will be devoured, and all your enemies will be taken away as prisoners. All who oppress you will be oppressed, and all who plunder you will be plundered. 17 I will make you well again; I will heal your wounds, though your enemies say, "Zion is an outcast; no one cares about her.' I, the LORD, have spoken."

21...22 Their ruler will come from their own nation, their prince from their own people. He will approach me when I invite him, for who would dare come uninvited? They will be my people, and I will be their God. I, the LORD, have spoken."

KJV <Strong's #> - 22 Look <06437> unto me, and be ye saved <03467>, all the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>: for I [am] God <0410>, and [there is] none <0369> else <05750>.

KJV - 22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

NRSV - 22 Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

TEV - "The LORD of the World and the Idols of Babylon" - 22 "Turn to me now and be saved, people all over the world! I am the only God there is. 23 My promise is true, and it will not be changed. I solemnly promise by all that I am: Everyone will come and kneel before me and vow to be loyal to me. 24 "They will say that only through me are victory and strength to be found; but all who hate me will suffer disgrace. 25 I, the LORD, will rescue all the descendants of Jacob, and they will give me praise.

KJV <Strong's #> - 20 ...keep <5442> that which is committed <3872> to thy trust, avoiding <1624> profane <952> [and] vain <2757> babblings <2757>, and oppositions <477> of science <1108> falsely <5581> so called <5581>:

KJV - 20 ..keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

NRSV - 20 ...guard what has been entrusted to you. Avoid the profane chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge;

TEV - "Personal Instructions" - 17 Command those who are rich in the things of this life not to be proud, but to place their hope, not in such an uncertain thing as riches, but in God, who generously gives us everything for our enjoyment. 18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share with others. 19 In this way they will store up for themselves a treasure which will be a solid foundation for the future. And then they will be able to win the life which is true life. 20 Timothy, keep safe what has been entrusted to your care. Avoid the profane talk and foolish arguments of what some people wrongly call "Knowledge." 21 For some have claimed to possess it, and as a result they have lost the way of faith. God's grace be with you all.

• 1Ti 6:20 - KJV wording: science <1108, gnosis> - alternative translation: knowledge (or: Gnosis)

• Martin Dibelius and Hans Conzelmann (The Pastoral Epistles, translated by Philip Buttolph and Adela Yarbro, Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1972, page 92) comment:

"Knowledge" (gnosis) is used here in the technical sense as the self-designation of the false teachers. The question as to what kind of Gnosis is represented by these people is not answered by this designation. But it certainly was a particular teaching which could be differentiated from that of the church.

• Daniel C. Arichea and Howard A. Hatton (A Handbook on Paul's Letters to Timothy and to Titus, New York: United Bible Societies, 1995, page 164) comment:

The expression what is falsely called knowledge has given rise to some problems of interpretation. Some interpreters have claimed that what is being referred to here is a certain Gnostic movement, since the Gnostics claim to possess a certain kind of knowledge that enables them to have communion with the divine. Others maintain that it is not Gnosticism that is being referred to here but the teachings of the false teachers that are described in various ways in the letters (see especially 1.3-7 and 4.1-4). It is difficult to be sure, but the use of the word knowledge seems to indicate that some form of Gnosticism was present at that time; it is even possible that some of the false teachers were influenced in some way by Gnostic teaching, as for instance the emphasis on genealogies... Another way to express this clause is "that some people say is 'knowledge,' but it really isn't."

An alternative translation model for this verse is:

Timothy, you must keep safe what God has given you to look after. Don't listen to people who incessantly say stupid (or, empty) words that show no reverence for God, and argue stupidly. They call this "knowledge," but it really isn't.

KJV <Strong's #> - 6 I the LORD <03068> have called <07121> thee in righteousness <06664>, and will hold <02388> thine hand <03027>, and will keep <05341> thee, and give <05414> thee for a covenant <01285> of the people <05971>, for a light <0216> of the Gentiles <01471>; 7 To open <06491> the blind <05787> eyes <05869>, to bring <03318> out the prisoners <0616> from the prison <04525>, [and] them that sit <03427> in darkness <02822> out of the prison <03608> house <01004>. 8 I [am] the LORD <03068>: that [is] my name <08034>: and my glory <03519> will I not give <05414> to another <0312>, neither my praise <08416> to graven <06456> images.

KJV - 6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

NRSV - 6 I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations, 7 to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness. 8 I am the LORD, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to idols.

TEV - "The LORD's Servant" - 5 God created the heavens and stretched them out; he fashioned the earth and all that lives there; he gave life and breath to all its people. And now the LORD God says to his servant, 6 "I, the LORD, have called you and given you power to see that justice is done on earth. Through you I will make a covenant with all peoples; through you I will bring light to the nations. 7 You will open the eyes of the blind and set free those who sit in dark prisons. 8 "I alone am the LORD your God. No other god may share my glory; I will not let idols share my praise. 9 The things I predicted have now come true. Now I will tell you of new things even before they begin to happen."

KJV <Strong's #> - 2 Now <1161> when John <2491> had heard <191> in the prison <1201> the works <2041> of Christ <5547>, he sent <3992> two <1417> of his disciples <3101>, 3 And said <2036> unto him, Art <1488> thou he that should come <2064>, or <2228> do we look <4328> for another <2087>? 4 Jesus <2424> answered <611> and said <2036> unto them, Go <4198> and shew <518> John <2491> again <518> those things which <3739> ye do hear <191> and see <991>: 5 The blind <5185> receive <308> their sight <308>, and the lame <5560> walk <4043>, the lepers <3015> are cleansed <2511>, and the deaf <2974> hear <191>, the dead <3498> are raised <1453> up, and the poor <4434> have the gospel <2097> preached <2097> to them. 6 And blessed <3107> is [he], whosoever <3362> shall not <3362> be offended <4624> in me.

KJV - 2 Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another? 4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: 5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

NRSV - 2 When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples 3 and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?" 4 Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news brought to them. 6 And blessed is anyone who takes no offense at me."

TEV - "The Messengers from John the Baptist" - 2 When John the Baptist heard in prison about the things that Christ was doing, he sent some of his disciples to him. 3 "Tell us," they asked Jesus, "are you the one John said was going to come, or should we expect someone else?" 4 Jesus answered, "Go back and tell John what you are hearing and seeing: 5 the blind can see, the lame can walk, those who suffer from dreaded skin diseases are made clean, the deaf hear, the dead are brought back to life, and the Good News is preached to the poor. 6 How happy are those who have no doubts about me!"

TEV - "Jesus Speaks Again about His Death" - 30 Jesus and his disciples left that place and went on through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where he was, 31 because he was teaching his disciples: "The Son of Man will be handed over to men who will kill him.

KJV <Strong's #> - 36 ...Jesus <2424> himself <846> stood <2476> in the midst <3319> of them, and saith <3004> unto them, Peace <1515> [be] unto you. 37 But they were terrified <4422> and affrighted <1719>, and supposed <1380> that they had seen <2334> a spirit <4151>. 38 And he said <2036> unto them, Why <5101> are ye troubled <5015>? and why <1302> do thoughts <1261> arise <305> in your <5216> hearts <2588>? 39 Behold <1492> my hands <5495> and my feet <4228>, that it is I myself: handle <5584> me, and see <1492>; for a spirit <4151> hath <2192> not flesh <4561> and bones <3747>, as ye see <2334> me have <2192>. 40 And when he had thus <5124> spoken <2036>, he shewed <1925> them [his] hands <5495> and [his] feet <4228>.

45 Then <5119> opened <1272> he their understanding <3563>, that they might understand <4920> the scriptures <1124>, 46 And said <2036> unto them, Thus <3779> it is written <1125>, and thus <3779> it behoved <1163> Christ <5547> to suffer <3958>, and to rise <450> from the dead <3498> the third <5154> day <2250>:

48 And ye are witnesses <3144> of these <5130> things.

50 And he led <1806> them out as far <2193> as to Bethany <963>, and he lifted <1869> up his hands <5495>, and blessed <2127> them. 51 And it came <1096> to pass, while <3588> he blessed <2127> them, he was parted <1339> from them, and carried <399> up into <1519> heaven <3772>. 52 And they worshipped <4352> him, and returned <5290> to Jerusalem <2419> with great <3173> joy <5479>:

KJV - 36 ...Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. 51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

NRSV - 36 ...Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." 37 They were startled and terrified, and thought that they were seeing a ghost. 38 He said to them, "Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and my feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see; for a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, 46 and he said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day,

48 You are witnesses of these things.

50 Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them. 51 While he was blessing them, he withdrew from them and was carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy;

TEV - "Jesus Appears to His Disciples" - 36 While the two were telling them this, suddenly the Lord himself stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." 37 They were terrified, thinking that they were seeing a ghost. 38 But he said to them, "Why are you alarmed? Why are these doubts coming up in your minds? 39 Look at my hands and my feet, and see that it is I myself. Feel me, and you will know, for a ghost doesn't have flesh and bones, as you can see I have." 40 He said this and showed them his hands and his feet. 41 They still could not believe, they were so full of joy and wonder; so he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?" 42 They gave him a piece of cooked fish, 43 which he took and ate in their presence. 44 Then he said to them, "These are the very things I told you about while I was still with you: everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets, and the Psalms had to come true." 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, "This is what is written: the Messiah must suffer and must rise from death three days later, 47 and in his name the message about repentance and the forgiveness of sins must be preached to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 And I myself will send upon you what my Father has promised. But you must wait in the city until the power from above comes down upon you."

"Jesus Is Taken Up to Heaven" - 50 Then he led them out of the city as far as Bethany, where he raised his hands and blessed them. 51 As he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up into heaven. 52 They worshiped him and went back into Jerusalem, filled with great joy, 53 and spent all their time in the Temple giving thanks to God.

  • The phrase, "worshipped him, and," is not found in a number of ancient manuscripts. It was left out of the Revised Standard Version (RSV), because a majority of the RSV's translation committee in 1952 concluded that that phrase was not in the original text. By the end of the century, only a minority of the United Bible Society's (UBS) Greek New Testament Committee held that view. Bruce Metzger (A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, Second Edition, New York: United Bible Societies, 1994, page 111), who was on the RSV translation committee, chaired the NRSV translation committee, and has been on the UBS Greek New Testament Committee since its start, comments:

    Although a minority of the Committee preferred the shorter reading, regarding the others as interpolations (see the Note following 24.53), the majority considered it more probable that the words proskunesantes auton [worshipped <4352> him <846>] had been omitted (the eye of the copyist passing from agtoi ... to agton) or, perhaps deliberately (so as to accord better with the shorter reading in ver. 51; see the concluding comments on the previous variant reading).

KJV <Strong's #> - 1 ...in the last <0319> days <03117> it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] the mountain <02022> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> shall be established <03559> in the top <07218> of the mountains <02022>, and it shall be exalted <05375> above the hills <01389>; and people <05971> shall flow <05102> unto it. 2 And many <07227> nations <01471> shall come <01980>, and say <0559>, Come <03212>, and let us go <05927> up to the mountain <02022> of the LORD <03068>, and to the house <01004> of the God <0430> of Jacob <03290>;...

3 And he shall judge <08199> among <0996> many <07227> people <05971>, and rebuke <03198> strong <06099> nations <01471> afar <07350> off; and they shall beat <03807> their swords <02719> into plowshares <0855>, and their spears <02595> into pruninghooks <04211>: nation <01471> shall not lift <05375> up a sword <02719> against <0413> nation <01471>, neither <03808> shall they learn <03925> war <04421> any more <05750>.

5 For all <03605> people <05971> will walk <03212> every <0376> one <0376> in the name <08034> of his god <0430>, and we will walk <03212> in the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430> for ever <05769> and ever <05703>.

KJV - 1 ...in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob;...

3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

TEV - "The LORD's Universal Reign of Peace" - 1 In days to come the mountain where the Temple stands will be the highest one of all, towering above all the hills. Many nations will come streaming to it, 2 and their people will say, "Let us go up the hill of the LORD, to the Temple of Israel's God. He will teach us what he wants us to do; we will walk in the paths he has chosen. For the LORD's teaching comes from Jerusalem; from Zion he speaks to his people." 3 He will settle disputes among the nations, among the great powers near and far. They will hammer their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will never again go to war, never prepare for battle again. 4 Everyone will live in peace among his own vineyards and fig trees, and no one will make him afraid. The LORD Almighty has promised this. 5 Each nation worships and obeys its own god, but we will worship and obey the LORD our God forever and ever.

KJV <Strong's #> - 9 They shall not hurt <07489> nor <03808> destroy <07843> in all <03605> my holy <06944> mountain <02022>: for the earth <0776> shall be full <04390> of the knowledge <01844> of the LORD <03068>, as the waters <04325> cover <03680> the sea <03220>.

TEV - "Israel Is the LORD's Witness" - 10 "People of Israel, you are my witnesses; I chose you to be my servant, so that you would know me and believe in me and understand that I am the only God. Besides me there is no other god; there never was and never will be. 11 "I alone am the LORD, the only one who can save you. 12 I predicted what would happen, and then I came to your aid. No foreign god has ever done this; you are my witnesses. 13 I am God and always will be. No one can escape from my power; no one can change what I do."

I created you, Israel, and I am your king." 16 Long ago the LORD made a road through the sea, a path through the swirling waters. 17 He led a mighty army to destruction, an army of chariots and horses. Down they fell, never to rise, snuffed out like the flame of a lamp! 18 But the LORD says, "Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. 19 Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already -- you can see it now! I will make a road through the wilderness and give you streams of water there. 20 Even the wild animals will honor me; jackals and ostriches will praise me when I make rivers flow in the desert to give water to my chosen people. 21 They are the people I made for myself, and they will sing my praises!"

KJV - 19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.

NRSV - 19 Just as water reflects the face, so one human heart reflects another.

TEV - "More of Solomon's Proverbs" - 15 A nagging wife is like water going drip-drip-drip on a rainy day. 16 How can you keep her quiet? Have you ever tried to stop the wind or ever tried to hold a handful of oil? 17 People learn from one another, just as iron sharpens iron. 18 Take care of a fig tree and you will have figs to eat. A servant who takes care of his master will be honored. 19 It is your own face that you see reflected in the water and it is your own self that you see in your heart.
