“Ephesians 6:10-18 (New International Version, ©2010)”

Bless you...appropriate verses to quote!

I do prefer the NKJV or latest ESV over the NIV versions though... :-)

I no longer have much use for KJV and it's versions. It is just a re-hash of the Latin Vulgate translated into 16th century English. It was the Anglicizing of "the church", due to the King's lust.

The NIV, however, is a more scholarly approach, using the best texts in Hebrew, Latin, Aramaic, Greek, and any other sources. They are not supporting the Apocrypha, which has a lot of dubious claims. I agree to the Bible construction as gathered by the Nicene council. The Holy Ghost was obviously there and active. It is truly "God breathed".

As for those verses, they are as succinct as eternity can be...

I look at a Christian as being under an umbrella of love, with our sins hidden from His view forever. God does not distinguish between the degree of sin. He hates all sin. Anything not perfectly within the will of God is sin! Anything not in the center of His bullseye is sin.
