:Really, Dave ... you're from Illinois yet you use English spellings ("programme")???  That's funny, because I grew up in Illinois and never saw anyone else there spell "program" in such an inefficient way.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:40, 16 December 2009 (EST)

==Translation of Timothy 1==
 +
 +
I have just completed the first draft of the translation of Timothy. I would very much value any comment and suggestion for improvement.
 +
A few verses have specific issues which I would like to address:
 +
*I took the liberty to translate "godless" with "atheist", which I think conveys nicely the original meaning.
 +
*I translated 'whoremonger' with 'pimp', which appears to be the definition of the job. I have second thoughts about including such a word in a translation of the Bible, though.
 +
Could a respected editor share his opinion on these matters? Regards, --[[User:TSpencer|TSpencer]] 08:48, 17 December 2009 (EST)
