John 15:7
KJV—If ye abide in me, and my words
abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you.

Amp—If you live in Me—abide vitally
united to Me—and My words remain in
you and continue to live in your hearts,
ask whatever you will and it shall be done
for you.

Moffatt—If you remain in me and my words
remain in you, then ask whatever you like
and you shall have it.

NEB—If you dwell in me, and my words
dwell in you, ask what you will, and you
shall have it.

1 John 5:14-15
KJV—And this is the confidence that
we have in him, that, if we ask any thing
according to his will, he heareth us: And if
we know that he hear us, whatsoever we
ask, we know that we have the petitions
that we desired of him.

Amp—And this is the confidence—the
assurance, the [privilege of] boldness—
which we have in Him: [we are sure] that
if we ask anything (make any request)
according to His will (in agreement with His
own plan) He listens to and hears us. And if
(since) we [positively] know that He listens to
us in whatever we ask, we also know [with
settled and absolute knowledge] that we
have [granted us as our present possessions]
the requests made of Him.

Moffatt—Now the confidence we have in
him is this, that he listens to us whenever we
ask anything in accordance with his will; and
if we know that he listens to whatever we
ask, we know that we obtain the requests
we have made to him.

NE B—We can approach God with confidence
for this reason: if we make requests
which accord with his will he listens to
us; and if we know that our requests are
heard, we know also that the things we ask
for are ours.

Matthew 15:6
KJV—Thus have ye made the commandment
of God of none effect by your tradition.

Amp—So for the sake of your tradition (the
rules handed down by your forefathers),
you have set aside the Word of God—depriving
it of force and authority and making
it of no effect.

Moffatt—So you have repealed the law of
God to suit your own tradition.

NEB—You have made God’s law null and
void out of respect for your tradition.

Romans 10:17
KJV—So then faith cometh by hearing, and
hearing by the word of God.

Amp—So faith comes by hearing [what
is told], and what is heard comes by the
preaching [of the message that came from
the lips] of Christ, the Messiah [Himself].

Moffatt—(You see, faith must come from
what is heard, and what is heard comes
from word of Christ.)

NEB—We conclude that faith is awakened
by the message, and the message that awakens
it comes through the word of Christ.

Mark 4:24
KJV—And he said unto them, Take heed
what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it
shall be measured to you: and unto you that
hear shall more be given.

Amp—And He said to them, Be careful
what you are hearing. The measure [of
thought and study] you give [to the truth
you hear] will be the measure [of virtue
and knowledge] that comes back to you,
and more [besides] will be given to you
who hear.

Moffatt—Also he said to them, “Take care
what you hear; the measure you deal out to
others will be dealt out to yourselves, and
you will receive extra.”

NEB—He also said, ‘Take note of what you
hear; the measure you give is the measure you
will receive, with something more besides.’

Psalm 107:20
KJV—(The Lord) sent his word, and healed
them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Amp—He sends forth His word and heals them
and rescues them from the pit and destruction.

Moffatt—He sent his word to heal them and
preserve their life.

NEB—He sent his word to heal them and
bring them alive out of the pit of death.
