Any translation is okay. I recommend NIV, NASB, King James, RSV, etc. Everyone needs to participate, at least twice in this hour-long study, and hopefully more than that. Don't quote from a commentary or the footnotes in your study Bible edition . We aren't here to find out what the experts say, but to extract truth from the Bible ourselves.
Commentaries are off-limits.
It will be hard enough to keep our conversation threads together. Don't move to another question until the teacher introduces it. Follow the teacher's lead. We can't follow all the rabbit trails. The teacher may feel that some digressions will help underscore the main point of the lesson and allow them for a little while.
