I know the work that I did to produce these communications. I know #homelessness better than I know the #Bible and I've never been put in my place by a #preacher either. Man, I'm sure there's a #rainbow preacher or a million out there, but in my life #Matthew 19:11-12 just can't get a witness. #KJV

Samuel Irenaus Prime was a Presbyterian minister in Ballston Spa, NY. Here he comments on a recipe for happiness from Philipians 4:11-13, being content in poverty or plenty. But he warns it would be awful to tell those who are suffering in great want to be content with what they have and not to provide any relief.

How can you avoid emptry truisms to others without any relief, and at the same time, hold to contentment for yourself?

INFOSTORM FOR BIBLE TRANSLATION AND SWORD MODULE PACKAGING

I seek information and experienced counsel to create a package for sword readers, and secondarily after that for step Bible readers eSword and legacy readers.

I am researching different markup languages and tool chains for Bible translation, Bible preservation, commentaries, lexicons, etc. as well as for creating sword modules and step modules. I will be working with Hebrew, Greek, and English.

I wish to convert hundreds of pages of outlines and notes into a commentary. Then I wish to package said commentary for step readers and sword-based bible readers like Xiphos and Bibletime. The commentary will be authored in English with copious notes about the original languages, culture, and idioms relevant to some passages.

I hope to find experienced people who can give me information to point the way.

Keep in mind that I can only use Linux and not Windows or Mac. No Windows or Mac software is any good to me.

I am trying to get information and links for:

- markup schemes (OSIS, USFM, ThML, and anything else, including niche or obscure schemes)
- markup converters
- indexers
- lexers
- module converters / packagers
- repository software
- collaboration software
- step readers
- bible module readers
- citation / reference / bibtex management
- license management
- fonts
- grammars
- translator notes collections and compendiums
- repositories of scanned texts, parchments, scrolls, papyri
- existing public domain or copyleft texts in English, Greek, Hebrew languages, especially plaintext ASCII and UTF8 files
- modern Greek and Hebrew analytical grammars covering especially the more contested and difficult passages of text
- Biblical cultural, ethnology, and philology resources

... and anything else considered relevant by experienced Bible translators, preservationists, publishers and sword module packagers.

If anyone here in the electronic ether is doing any work along these lines please give me links to the resources, tools and schemes you use so I can investigate and start piecing together a machine for the task.

Thank you, and God bless you!

Samuel Crothers, Presbyterian pastor, on the servitude allowed in Deuteronomy. The service was limited to six years and resulted in abundant supply upon release. None of this in the American system.

Today, do many people turn to the Bible to see what we can get away with, despite neighbor’s cries?

How can you take pains to be fair to those who work for you or have jobs that serve you?

Our standard #KJV English phrasing of the #Christmas #Annunciation is wrong, but actually more gracious than an accurate translation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annunciation_to_the_shepherds#Translational_issues

Just FYI, I maintain a script that (attempts to) correct the archaic spelling (and some of the terms) of the "King James Bible" and bring it closer to modern English:

All it requires is sed (both BSD and GNU versions have been tested successfully, IIRC).

Next #Gemini project: make a gemini version of the #KingJamesBible (already been done), but then make a version filtered through my kjvfilter (https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/kjvfilter) sed script to update some of the language. It's a VERY alpha-quality script and is not super-well vetted, but that's half the fun.

I'll call it #kjv

@amin, an awesome project for you whenever you might get bored with clew would be a project gutenberg interface for gemini. That would ROCK.

Read my latest post on the Grammaticus blog - a review of "The King James Version Bible Commentary."

Book review: “The King James Version Bible Commentary”

Published by Thomas Nelson, this commentary is not designed to be neutral: its target audience is pretty narrow and specific, and the theological framework behind its scholarship precisely defined.
