Good morning! The #Gospel for 8 October 2025 is Matthew 9:9-17. Since I am following the #green #MorningPrayer in A Disciple’s Prayer Book #DPB I am also using the #FirstNations version of the #NewTestament What I’ve discovered is that this version, combined with my #SBLStudyBible (an #NRSVUE version), are expanding my view of the lessons & their application to my daily life.
What stands out today is the difference a word makes. The #Indigenous NT refers to “outcasts” rather than the “sinners” of other versions. Maybe it’s because I just finished the sections on Hinduism in world religions, but I find the word choice telling. Outcast implies people shunned or ignored by society, that is a societal choice. Sinners, otoh, implies individuals who are separated from God by choice & their own actions. Additionally, the First Nations version refers to the Pharisees as “the Separated Ones”. My take-away is that Faith calls us to return/restore community rather than divide us.

An even better Bible: #NRSVue, the new New Revised Standard Version (#NRSV)
https://www.christiancentury.org/article/interview/even-better-bible An interview with the leaders of the project. I was interested to read that although the #RSV will remain in print, the NRSV will be replaced by the NRSVue over a period of years. (h/t @b_hawk ) -
Incidentally, I like what I've seen so far of the updated #NRSV. I think I'll get one when it's out in large print (my eyes have decided that they are definitely middle aged now, so no 9-point font for me).
Any #NRSVUE #UpdatedNRSV users here with thoughts?
