Psalm 46:10 (NASB)

“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

NLT:  “Be still, and know that I am God!  I will be honored by every nation.  I will be honored throughout the world.”

Matthew 23:13

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!  You shut the kingdom of heaven in men’s faces.  You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.”

NLT:  “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees.  Hypocrites!  For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces.  You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.”

1 John 3:2

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known.  But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

NLT:  Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears.  But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.
