Creedence Clearwater Revival

crowds are preoccupied with their destinations, the socialization with their friends whether it be on the phone or in person, and within themselves to even see two girls observing their actions. When realizing that the gym is merely a passing place for the busy, it goes without saying that various sounds linger with these people. Sitting on the concrete bench, the loud, buzzing, engines of the golf carts are audible even as they drive off into the distance as it becomes a faint hum.

According to Women in Scripture, “Although these versus are not missing in any New Testament manuscripts, v. 34 and 35 are found after v. 40 in several bilingual Greek/Latin manuscripts.” Consequently, there is ongoing debate about whether Paul wrote these versus or not and these judgements will continue to be discussed in Christian communities to this day.
