- I looked it up too but in a more modern translation. It says..
- "Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when God
- examines your work. Know what his Word says and means."
-
- Personally I like the verse that follows the above that says...
- "Steer clear of foolish discussions which lead people into the
- sin of anger with each other"
-
- How true...particularly in the context of the networks and listservs!
