In reply to Patti Gardner. Patti! It's good to hear from you again. I'm so glad you found our group; you'll be a wonderful asset. I'm encouraged by your ability to memorize so much. I learned the first chapter of James a few years back, and I still review it because I want to hold on to it. God's love and grace that I find in the verses I memorize have pulled me out of many middle-of-the-night worry sessions. :)

It’s been awhile since I’ve been by, Lisa, as I haven’t been blogging much. (Well, actually, I was, but I was writing a private blog for awhile.) And lo and behold, I come back to community and discover this fantastic study to be part of. I LOVE being part of online studies. I am going to read in 3 different translations (NLT, ESV, NIV84), plus I will memorize the chapter. I recently memorized the entire book of James, so I’m thinking this first chapter of John will set me on the path to memorizing that apostle’s words as well.

I’ve just signed up and I’m looking forward to hearing the other versions of 1 John 1. I’ve enjoyed everyone’s comments and it sounds like a lot of friendship will be included in this group. Thanks for doing this!

In reply to Debbie Wilson. So true, Debbie. When I read in a different translation, it usually jars my brain just enough to let go of the "way I've always heard it".

Lisa, this sounds like a wonderful idea. I enjoy listening to the Bible in different versions. It expands my understanding.

In reply to Joanne Viola. That's awesome, Joanne! It sounds like we'll be on the same track. I definitely want to memorize the chapter too, and it helps me to internalize it more when I also mix in the other approaches.

In reply to Linda Stoll. Yes, it's a favorite of mine, too. Of all the apostles, I think I'd like to sit down for counseling the most with John. :) His gospel is my favorite of the four.
