Holy Bible - Jonah - New Living...

Tyndale House Publishers

HOLY BIBLE - JONAH: NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today’s English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT’s living language breathes life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages—but even more powerful are stories of how people’s lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts. The New Living Translation is perfect for every age and stage of life, allowing every member of the family to read the same text. What method did the translators use in making the NLT? The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English. As they did so, they translated as simply and literally as possible when that approach yielded an accurate, clear, and natural English text. Many words and phrases were rendered literally and consistently into English, preserving essential literary and rhetorical devices, ancient metaphors, and word choices that give structure to the text and provide echoes of meaning from one passage to the next. On the other hand, the translators rendered the message more dynamically when the literal rendering was hard to understand, was misleading, or yielded archaic or foreign wording. They clarified difficult metaphors and terms to aid in the reader’s understanding. The translators first struggled with the meaning of the words and phrases in the ancient context; then they rendered the message into clear, natural English. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful. More than 90 Bible scholars, along with a group of accomplished English stylists, worked closely together toward that goal. In the end, the NLT is the result of precise scholarship conveyed in living, contemporary language.

Humbleness - The Quiet Strength:...

Esther Jameson

Humbleness is often misunderstood as weakness or submissiveness, yet it is one of the greatest strengths a person can possess. True humbleness is not about diminishing oneself or pretending to be less than what one is. Instead, it is about recognizing one’s worth without the need for validation or superiority over others. It allows a person to remain grounded, open to learning, and free from the constant pressure to prove themselves. 
Unlike false modesty, which seeks attention through downplaying achievements, genuine humbleness comes from self-awareness. A humble person does not feel the need to boast or seek recognition. They understand that their value does not depend on external praise. This mindset fosters quiet confidence, enabling individuals to navigate life with grace, even in challenging situations. 
Humbleness is a trait admired across cultures and philosophies. Many religious and philosophical teachings emphasize its importance, highlighting how humility leads to wisdom and deeper connections with others. It allows people to embrace mistakes, learn from experiences, and grow without being hindered by pride. When one acknowledges their limitations, they become more receptive to new ideas and perspectives. This ability to listen and learn creates a path toward continuous self-improvement.
