It's All In The Translation!

Tell me if you can read this: ταπεινώθητε ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ὑψώσει ὑμᾶς

It's a familiar verse.  Okay try this: Behave in an unassuming manner in the presence of the One who is in control of everything, and He will raise you to dignity, honor and happiness. Sound anything close to familiar?

Here's how James 4:10 reads in our interpretation: "Humble yourself before the Lord and He will lift you up."

You see, in order to truly understand a verse, we have to study so it will make the most sense to us.
