I personally use the NASB 95 along with the Greek texts.
My more orthodox Catholic Bibles have the correct references while those done with ecumenical goals like the NAB, etc. avoid cross referencing the appropriate books.
Perhaps correct from a RC perspective.....but not necessarily overall correct.
Ok, NAB with Greek. Thanks
I have an NAB and as I noted that was done with ecumenical goals, which is great. As long as people avoid polemics with me I respond in kind.
Rev 8:2 speaks of 7 angels. The Cross reference is Tobit 12:15 where there are 7 Angels clearly described in that book.
Luke 6:31 has the golden rule. This is clearly drawing on Tobit 4:15 which reads “And what you hate, do not do to anyone”
Hebrews 11:35 has the passage “some were tortured refusing to accept release that they might rise again to a better life. This is drawing on 2 Maccabees 7 where the Mother bore the killing of her sons telling them God will give them life and breath again [resurrection].
I mentioned John 10:22.
During the Roman empire at time of Christ, the number of Jews outside Palestine dwarfed those in Palestine. These Jews [Diaspora] spoke Greek thus Hellenistic Jews. The version of the OT that the Apostles used was not the Hebrew, but the Greek [LXX} as 80% or more of the quotes from OT come from the LXX, not Hebrew translation.
The LXX had the 7 Deuterocanonical books and thus the Apostles it, based on the evidence, did draw on those Dueterocanonicals and made reference to them.
