The Colossian heretics believed that a special knowledge of God (revealed only to them) was the key to true spirituality. The believers would need these benefits to protect themselves from false teaching. Paul prayed for God to grant the Colossians the knowledge of His will, wisdom and spiritual understanding. False teachers were at the door trying to convince them that they needed more than belief in Jesus. He understood that their faith was in danger and they needed to wear the name “believer” well. We want people to wear our jersey, but we also want them to represent us well when doing so.Īs Paul began his letter to the Colossians, he let them know that he never stopped praying for them (Colossians 1:9). However, imagine the thoughts that might go through our mind if a person committed a crime wearing our jersey.

#READ THE LIVING BIBLE PROFESSIONAL#
The Recovery Version of the Bible, including outlines, footnotes, and cross-references for both the Old and New Testaments, is now available.Have you ever wondered what it might be like to be a professional athlete with other people wearing your jersey? Most of us would view it as a compliment. The New Testament Recovery Version in its current format in English was published in 1991, and it is also available in Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and several other languages. All of these study aids were written by Witness Lee, who received much help from the writings of noted Bible expositors throughout church history, including his co-worker, Watchman Nee. The Recovery Version of the Bible contains numerous study aids, including, the subject and background of each book detailed, interpretive outlines enlightening footnotes, valuable cross-references, and a variety of useful charts and maps. The Recovery Version of the Bible was translated and revised by the Editorial Section of Living Stream Ministry from 1974 to 2003. The Recovery Version of the Bible is translated from the original languages according to principles and standards of translation established by major English translations of the last five centuries. Since then many excellent English translations have followed. Around 1525 the Bible was translated into English directly from the original languages by William Tyndale. This translation and its subsequent distribution was instrumental in opening the door to the spread of the truth. In 1385 John Wycliffe translated the Bible into English from the Latin Vulgate. The Recovery Version of the Bible is so named because its text and footnotes crystallize many of these truths and experiences. This recovery in spiritual and scriptural understanding has ushered in a corresponding recovery in both the individual and the corporate aspects of the Christian life. Since the 1500s, beginning with Martin Luther's groundbreaking realization that justification is by faith, the Lord has continued to gradually recover more light and truth from His Word.

During this period, the bright light contained in the Bible and many of the precious truths revealed in it and enjoyed by the early Christians were not generally available. In fact, from the sixth to the fourteenth centuries, the Bible was largely inaccessible to the public. We thank the Lord that His precious Word is so available to us today.
