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. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2015%3A9-17&version=NIV 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. Reply to this message | Report message

New Revised Standard Version is, I would say, the most popular. Reply to this message | Report message       1

You try the original Greek; or was it Aramaic? That'd confuse a few people. Reply to this message | Report message
