Week 11—1st John Bible Nerd-Study
*Missed last week? Click here for 1st John Bible Nerd-Study - Week 10Memorize 1 John 1:1-4
Read from the Phillips paraphrase version.
This week we're going to memorize the first 4 verses (1 John 1:1-4). We already contemplated them as daily manna. Now we want to purpose to memorize them. For memory use your good study translation (no paraphrases or slight paraphrases).
For reading, we'll use the Phillips paraphrase. It's one of the better ones. Remember that it's a paraphrase and not a word-for-word translation. So this brother is trying to express the thought. Because of that, he cannot put it into verses exactly but uses clusters of verses. You'll see that in the references. Some parts of this paraphrase will not match the full light that we have in the verses so you may be bothered. That's the problem with any paraphrase, it is limited to the person's understanding as well as what they are currently emphasizing or trying to better express. To make clear one thing may mean that you lose some of another.
Next week we are going to paraphrase 1:1-4. So if you're not familiar with the exercise of paraphrasing notice how it is done this time.
