Little differences

Today's 'random' was

Psalm 61

and

1 Corinthians 1

I love to listen to Max McLean read the chapter,  a feature on Bible Gateway's ESV version.  I read along as he reads.

Once in a while there are little differences.

At the end of 1 Corinthians 1,  the written version is


  • 30 And because of him[e] you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,


but Max says

  • "He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus whom God made our wisdom and our righteousness and sanctification and redemption,"


Sometimes the differences relate to a revision of the ESV.  In this case,  I think Max has his own favorite version.  Do you have a version that matches Max's ?

The Kingdom and The Authority


In Numbers 25 a plague is stopped by a move of the Spirit.   In Mark 2,  Jesus reveals His Authority as the dealers of religion come at him from four directions.
