Sabbath Scripture

(Sometimes comparing different translations of the Bible 
helps us understand the Good News better.)

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end. 

King James Version Jeremiah 29:11

For surely I know the plans I have for you, 

says the Lord, 

plans for your welfare and not for harm, 

to give you a future with hope. 

New Revised Standard Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," 

declares the LORD, 

"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, 

plans to give you hope and a future. 

New International Version Jeremiah 29:11
