Good morning! The #Gospel for 8 October 2025 is Matthew 9:9-17. Since I am following the #green #MorningPrayer in A Disciple’s Prayer Book #DPB I am also using the #FirstNations version of the #NewTestament What I’ve discovered is that this version, combined with my #SBLStudyBible (an #NRSVUE version), are expanding my view of the lessons & their application to my daily life.

What stands out today is the difference a word makes. The #Indigenous NT refers to “outcasts” rather than the “sinners” of other versions. Maybe it’s because I just finished the sections on Hinduism in world religions, but I find the word choice telling. Outcast implies people shunned or ignored by society, that is a societal choice. Sinners, otoh, implies individuals who are separated from God by choice & their own actions. Additionally, the First Nations version refers to the Pharisees as “the Separated Ones”. My take-away is that Faith calls us to return/restore community rather than divide us.

Is there going to be a New Oxford Annotated Bible with the NRSV Updated Edition? Trying to decide whether I want to wait for that, go with the already-released SBL Study Bible, or just get a plain NRSVue sans study materials… #Bible #NRSV #NRSVue ⚓️
An even better Bible: #NRSVue, the new New Revised Standard Version (#NRSV)
https://www.christiancentury.org/article/interview/even-better-bible An interview with the leaders of the project. I was interested to read that although the #RSV will remain in print, the NRSV will be replaced by the NRSVue over a period of years. (h/t @b_hawk )
Why a new, New Revised Standard Version?

The leaders of the NRSVue project talk about translation, reception, and what Bibles are for.

Incidentally, I like what I've seen so far of the updated #NRSV. I think I'll get one when it's out in large print (my eyes have decided that they are definitely middle aged now, so no 9-point font for me).

Any #NRSVUE #UpdatedNRSV users here with thoughts?

So, I may or may not have bought a different Bible translation to assist me in my #EfM study. I've been using the #NRSVue because that seems to be what my church uses. But at times, it's very clunky and wordy. And my current EfM assignment is Leviticus and Numbers, which are a bit tedious and dry. So my priest recommended that I try the #CEB and that seems to be smoother and more natural sounding. #Episcopal #Episcopalian #EducationForMinistry

Do not remember the former things
or consider the things of old.
I am about to do a new thing;
now it springs forth; do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
