1 Peter 1:6-7

[Psalm 51:17]

KJB
1Peter 1:6  Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1Pe 1:7  That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

NIV
1 Peter 1:6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
1 Peter 1:7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

OK - the BIG error is in verse 6 - the NIV replaces the word temptations with grief. This is HUGE b/c(this passage is talking about Jesus Christ)...

Hebrews 2:14  Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Heb 2:15  And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Heb 2:16  For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Heb 2:17  Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Heb 2:18  For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.


Throughout our years attending(or use to attend) these Babel church buildings - remember those times when these pastors, deacons, and Sunday School teachers would tell you stuff like "If you truly want to serve the Lord, you can't have idols in your heart", "You need to completely serve the Lord on Sundays in church, or else the devil is having a stranglehold on you", etc? So pretty much the message they are getting to you is that somehow Christians shouldn't be tempted that much, otherwise they are given to idolatry, don't pray much, etc. Now I think I see why - when they make changes like this in these corrupted bible versions, the readers of these versions are NOT going to have the proper understanding.

Any thoughts?

[Psalm 51:17]

Another thing...

The words temptation/temptations are found in 23 verses in the KJB. However, it's ONLY found in 10 verses in the NIV.

The word tempted is found in 22 verses in the KJB. However, it's ONLY found in 10 verses in the NIV.

Ultimately, as we all know, born again believers are NOT exempt from temptations. Yes, I understand this...

1Cor_10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

But pt being that these false bible versions have given you a false impression otherwise with the way they water this down.

[Psalm 51:17]

^^ Just to clarify something I forgot to put - forgot to include all of the Old Testament verses in the KJB for temptation/temptations/tempted as well. Turned out to be 23 instead of 19 for the first 2 words, and 22 instead of 14 for the 3rd word.

However, these words are NOT found in the NIV Old Testament!
