2 Kings 12:4 GNT

4 Joash called the priests and ordered them to save up the money paid in connection with the sacrifices in the Temple, both the dues paid for the regular sacrifices and the money given as freewill gifts. 5Each priest was to be responsible for the money brought by those he served, and the money was to be used to repair the Temple, as needed.


I got this idea while reading this passage using multiple translations to further understand this passage. As I was reading the Good News Translation, this idea popped up. If we apply cash to our sacrifice offering as they did in the Old Covenant, how much would you have to pay for your sin debt? Apply Romans 3:23-26 using this same translation to change things up...23everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence. 24But by the free gift of God's grace all are put right with him through Christ Jesus, who sets them free. 25-26God offered him, so that by his blood+ he should become the means by which people's sins are forgiven through their faith in him. God did this in order to demonstrate that he is righteous. In the past he was patient and overlooked people's sins; but in the present time he deals with their sins, in order to demonstrate his righteousness. In this way God shows that he himself is righteous and that he puts right everyone who believes in Jesus. This unfamiliar version provides a little different insight. Can we agree?
