It’s Thursday, days away from Christmas, and here are today’s Advent Bible verses from the new Common English Bible translation as I participate in the “Thank You – Come Again – I Promise” blog tour.
Thursday – John 9:4-5 and Matthew 5:14-16 (CEB)
v “…While it’s daytime, we must do the work of him who sent me. Night is coming when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
“…You are the light of the world. A city on top of a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lampstand, and it shines on all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven….”

As part of this blog tour, I’ve been given the opportunity by the Common English Bible Committee to offer my readers a free copy of the softcover edition of the Common English Bible for each week of the blog tour (which runs through January 31, 2012)!
For this week, please leave a message on Sunday’s blog post (the link is on the top right hand side of the blog) telling me what you think about this new translation. Please leave your email address also, so I can contact you to get your mailing address.
The deadline to enter for this week will be Saturday, December 24 at 11:59 pm ET. The winner will be chosen from all entries by the Random Number Generator on Christmas, Sunday, December 25, 2011. Please limit one entry per person. All the best to you!
