Ok! I understand now...<br><br>I have several copies of the NIV, and I will get a copy of the NASB. One copy of the NIV is a study Bible, which lately I have not used because I have realized that I end up reading the "study" parts interspersed with the text. It gets rather choppy, and since I have used a version that has no interspersed commentary I have found my ability to study much easier.

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
