Ephesians 5:30 by Susan L.

  I am a member of His body.
  "For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones." NKJV
  "And we are members of his body." JCB

  Why the translators of the newer Bible omitted the second part of this Scripture is unknown. Greek or Hebrew isn't in my vocabulary so it isn't something I can investigate personally. Or maybe I can.
  Google is an amazing tool! I found a site where various translations can be compared verse by verse. Roughly half of the thirty-eight listed include the part about being Jesus' flesh and bones. The other half doesn't.
  I guess it's another one of those questions that will have to wait to be answered.
  But I am grateful for the dedicated people who have taken the time to translate Scriptures into English and countless other languages. I am grateful for the men and women who create web sites like the one I just visited.
  There are so many facets to being a Christian.
  There's teachers and nursery workers to mold the minds of young Christians. Young has nothing to do with the number of years under our belts.
  There's scholars and students and school secretaries who come together to bring forth the next generation of church leaders.
  There's those whose strength lay in creating music to honour God and the musicians to bring it to the world. The technical support people make it possible to hear and download the latest in awesome worship music.
  Missionaries and the Salvation Army dedicate their lives to bringing the love of God to the four corners of the earth.
  Pastors and Priests dedicate their lives to serving God by tending His flocks.
  Church planters place Holy houses where they are needed the most.
  Then there's the folks who serve coffee on a Sunday or do up the dishes or set up tables for a Saturday fund raising rummage sale.
  And the pie makers who donate their wares for the sale!
  If  I was to list every single career in the universe, it would be found in the people serving God.
  As Sister Sledge sang back in the disco era, "We are fam-i-ly!"
  No. We are far more than that. We are a body unified by Christ.
