 Bible Readings - No FM2R

Is "The New International Version" a reasonable source of readings, or should I use another source?

It looks ok to me and if I can't get a better answer then I shall go with it. But I've only an hour or so to decide.

We will be using the traditional version of The Lord's prayer in a service lead by a diocesan bishop if that gives any indication.

And before you suggest it, yes I have tried asking the Bishop. But he's not answering WhatsApp or phone calls and I'm in a bit of a hurry.

New Revised Standard Version is, I would say, the most popular.

Thank you, that's good enough for me.
 Bible Readings - Netsur
You try the original Greek; or was it Aramaic? That'd confuse a few people.

Just been drinking a G&T with the Bish who says CG was spot on. I thought he would be but the confirmation was a relief.
 Bible Readings - tyrednemotional

I once bought a car who's first owner had been a bishop. Rang him to ask about its history. He was very approachable, friendly and informative.

Well, I guess he couldn't have sold it to another clergyman, especially not if it was fitted with a rev limiter...

A car dealer is in confession;

"Bless me father for I have sinned,

That car I sold you last week father, the big ends were knocking so I retarded the ignition and I put sawdust in the back axle to drown the whine".

Socially I only know two; one Catholic, one Anglican. I'd describe both as approachable, friendly and informative.

Presumably he had font memories of the vehicle?

 Bible Readings - Crankcase
Did he check the gearbox was working? You have to do the trans substantiation.
 Bible Readings - Clk Sec
Was his other car a Vauxhall Vicar?
 Bible Readings - Dog
You would have to be a bit of a bishopric to drive one of those.
 Bible Readings - Runfer D'Hills
Did you sell the car on again BT? Or did you have to pulpit?

It failed its MoT owing to a badly clouded windscreen. It failed on stained glass, so he souled it for scrap. The buyer however changed the screen and resurrected it.
 Bible Readings - tyrednemotional
...on the other hand, it had been serviced by The Book......

I can testament to the fact it used to backfire like an epistle shot.
 Bible Readings - tyrednemotional
...Gospel truth...?
 Bible Readings - Runfer D'Hills
That sounds like an old testament...

Well, I admit I sold it to Ron before he sold it on. So any problems are due to Ron or me.

I flogged it to a guy called Phil Collins, said he was in a band, forget its name.
He particularly liked the Numbers on the plate and the colour of the Ruth.
He was just starting a new Job.
 Bible Readings - Runfer D'Hills
Guess you must have seen a prophet in it?
 Bible Readings - Crankcase
Such a josh you are.
 Bible Readings - Runfer D'Hills
Did the engine ever die or seize?
 Bible Readings - No FM2R
Oh dear God alive.

"die or seize"??

What is it like in that mind of yours?
 Bible Readings - Runfer D'Hills
Oh, I don't really know, but I was also minded to reflect if it had ever had a dodgy catholic converter, or indeed, how easy it was to get in and out of? You know, like how many revs per minute you could get out of it?
