SU35,
(1 Thess 5:22) Abstain from all appearance of evil.
My Bible is the New King James version, and 1 thess 5:22 reads as follows...
Abstain from every form of evilI do not want to get in 'verse war' as I'd get smashed in the first round. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Our preacher used 1st Thess chapter 1 today in his message, and a decided to find the verse you mentioned here. I couldn't remember the exact number, and was a bit supprised when I couldn't find the text in Thessalonians (1 or 2.)
Strange though, that the NKJ version doesn't even mention 'apperances' in that verse. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
