I couldn’t stop thanking God for you—every time I prayed, I’d think of you and give thanks. But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength!
Ephesians 1:18 MSG
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

The difference between this and KJV sometimes gives me pause, as I 'translate' it... But good words!
That's the point, my friend. It makes us think about the words & their meaning, instead of merely scanning a familiar passage.
You've cracked my cunning strategy. :)
Rev Paul,
One must read any passage in the Bible more than once before interrupting it.
Thank you, Reverend.
Sandy, I'll assume you meant "interpreting"; but yes.
Linda, you're welcome.
