Reading a different translation of Scripture really causes me to see things new again which is why I am particularly enjoying reading through the Bible with The Message this year. The following verses in particular jumped out at me, challenged me anew, and left me thinking, praying, and responding "Amen!"
Galations 5:6 - For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love.
Galations 5:16 - My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God's Spirit.
Galations 5:23 (defining gentleness) - ... not needing to force our way in life...
Galations 5:25 - Since this is the kind of life we have chosen, the life of the Spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every detail of our lives. (in the NKJV: If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.)
