Kenneth Copeland — Wisdom for the Godly, Labor for the Wicked

May 19th, 2010 No comments

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Ecclesiastes 2:26
KJV—For God giveth to a man that is
good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge,
and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail,
to gather and to heap up, that he may give
to him that is good before God.

Amp—For to the person who pleases Him
God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy;
but to the sinner He gives the work of
gathering and heaping up, that he may give
to one who pleases God.

Moffatt—To a man whom God approves, he
grants wisdom, knowledge, and happiness,
but he sets a sinner the task of gathering and
amassing wealth, only to leave it to the man
whom God approves.

NIV—To the man who pleases him, God
gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness,
but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering
and storing up wealth to hand it over
to the one who pleases God.

Luke 21:15
KJV—For I will give you a mouth and wisdom,
which all your adversaries shall not be
able to gainsay nor resist.

Amp—For I [Myself] will give you a mouth
and such utterance and wisdom as all of
your foes combined will be unable to stand
against or refute.

Moffatt—For I will give you words and
wisdom that not one of your opponents
will be able to meet or refute.

NIV—For I will give you words and wisdom
that none of your adversaries will be
able to resist or contradict.

1 Corinthians 1:30
KJV—Of him [God] are ye in Christ Jesus,
who of God is made unto us wisdom,
and righteousness, and sanctification,
and redemption.

Amp—It is from Him [God] that you have
your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made
our Wisdom from God, [that is, revealed to
us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation
previously hidden, manifesting itself as]
our Righteousness and thus making us upright
and putting us in right standing with
God; and our Consecration—making us pure
and holy; and our Redemption—providing
our ransom from eternal penalty for sin.

Moffatt—This is the God to whom you owe
your being in Christ Jesus, whom God has
made our “Wisdom,” that is, our righteousness
and consecration and redemption.

NIV—It is because of him [God] that you
are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us
wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness,
holiness and redemption.

Kenneth Copeland — Promises of Prosperity

October 21st, 2009 Comments off

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Psalm 23:1

KJV—The Lord is my shepherd; I shall
not want.

Amp—The Lord is my shepherd [to feed,
guide and shield me]; I shall not lack.

Moffatt—The Eternal shepherds me, I lack
for nothing.

NIV—The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not
be in want.

Psalm 35:27

KJV—Let them shout for joy, and be glad,
that favour my righteous cause: yea, let
them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity
of his servant.

Amp—Let those who favor my righteous
cause and have pleasure in my uprightness
shout for joy and be glad, and say continually,
Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes
pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.

Moffatt—May they shout for joy, may
they be glad, who love to see me righted!
May they have ever cause to say, “All hail
to the Eternal, who loves to see his servant
prospering!”

NIV—May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness; may they
always say, “The Lord be exalted, who delights
in the well-being of his servant.”

Psalm 37:3-11

Amp—Trust (lean on, rely on and be confident)
in the Lord, and do good; so shall you
dwell in the land and feed surely on His
faithfulness, and truly you shall be fed.
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He
will give you the desires and secret petitions
of your heart. Commit your way to
the Lord—roll and repose [each care of]
your load on Him; trust (lean on, rely on
and be confident) also in Him, and He will
bring it to pass. And He will make your uprightness
and right standing with God go
forth as the light, and your justice and right
as [the shining sun of] the noonday.
Be still and rest in the Lord; wait for Him,
and patiently stay yourself upon Him; fret
not yourself because of him who prospers
in his way, because of the man who brings
wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger
and forsake wrath; fret not yourself; it tends
only to evil-doing. For evildoers shall be
cut off; but those who wait and hope and
look for the Lord, [in the end] shall inherit
the earth.

For yet a little while and the evildoer will
be no more; though you look with care
where he used to be, he will not be found.
But the meek [in the end] shall inherit the
earth, and shall delight themselves in the
abundance of peace.
