Do not we have the motto, "Always Reforming". This means that if improvements can be made - even in translations - then these improvements are, indeed, efforts to glorify God. |

I am not exactly sure what this means but if you are accusing Larry or myself, I don't think these accusations are warranted. I offered a few possibilities for the revision. Larry offered his own personal experience. You offered another possiblity. No one is accusing anybody of anything.
