'The verse I have sought to govern me more than any other is John 5:44. I was initially influenced by the Authorised Version: 'How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?' This translation stresses the honour that only God- not people-is prepared to bestow, that we should seek his pleasure and approval alone. Most versions translate 'the only God', which does not change the aforementioned meaning. But if there is a blessing that comes from seeking only his approval and not the affirmation of each other, I for one want this"
Do you have one verse that guides you?
