R-ASV

I thought I should explain "R-ASV" in the blog description area...in which I put a verse first. The "R" stands for "Revised". "ASV" stands for the version properly designated "Revised Version, American Standard Edition", which is popularly known as the "American Standard Version"; among seminaries it was known as the "Standard Version" and hence the reason the first revision of it was called the "Revised Standard Version". The "revision" I made is taking the old "wherefore" and substituting "therefore" (as you'll see in modern versions).

I like to use public domain resources when possible. Any changes in a work indicated as that work I indicate so someone can check into it if they desire: so there's the point of the "R".

Depending on how literal a version is I sometimes change-up. Usually for the more literal, the less only used as commentaries (if correct). I probably would have used the English Revised Version (the first edition of which the ASV is a second edition) but the ASV's punctuation here is better (by one mark) so I chose that one.

Comments on Marriage

I had a post here...but it needs more scripture, as well as more interaction with the post it was commenting on over at this post. It was also too long, for the moment, and needs to be chunked-and-fleshed (i.e. broken up into parts, and then put meat on each part).

So back to being a slow, wee, blog. This post should be edited with a "forecast" of parts to come up that has thoughts on relational things between men and women...and most importantly, the Lord. : )
