miketisdell Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 This morning I looked up a verse (James 1:4) in the Greek bible that was part of a discussion I was involved in and the Greek text did not match the quote. I then searched for the Greek phrase and found it in Romans 1:4. Unfortunately I had not looked closely at the text of James and the verse returned in the search was in a context of 1 verse, so I didn't realize that all of the verse references were wrong. Here is the text of James in the Greek bible (really 2 Thessalonians) and the text of Romans (really James) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allison Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Sorry about this. It was a bug in the LXX-GNT module. Make sure you have the latest version (1.7). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diatheke76 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 It’s actually 1 Thessalonians 1 showing not 2 Thessalonians 1. I picked that up just by reading the Greek and quickly realized that Silvanus is not mentioned in James 1. I then opened NA28 and the wording match 1 Thessalonians 1, not 2 Thessalonians 1. Always try to read the text yourself at first to see if anything looks or feels off. Have your Greek and English side by side and if you know enough vocabulary you should be able to tell if something is not matching. I do a select Greek reading for my devotional time every morning to help me keep my greek from getting rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
