NET Bible Act 21:40 Having received the commander's permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said to them in Aramaic[1]:
NASB Act 21:40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, motioned to the people with his hand; and when there was a great hush, he spoke to them in the Hebrew dialect, saying,
Which was preserved for thousands of years... Aramaic or Hebrew?
WHO'S faith???
KJV Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
ASV Gal 2:16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
NIV Gal 2:16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
ESV Gal 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
NASB Gal 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.
CLV Gal 2:16 having perceived that a man is not being justified by works of law, except alone through the faith of Christ Jesus, we also believe in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by the faith of Christ and not by works of law, seeing that by works of law shall no flesh at all be justified."
So is it our faith in Jesus, Or the faith of Jesus??? Which was preserved for thousands of years...
KJV Lam 3:38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil 4751 and good?
ASV Lam 3:38 Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?
NIV Lam 3:38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that both calamities and good things come?
ESV Lam 3:38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come?
NASB Lam 3:38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both good and ill go forth?
So is it Evil? Calamities? Good and Bad? or Ill?

ַרע
ra‛, ָרָעה
rā‛āh: An adjective meaning bad, evil. The basic meaning of this word displays ten or more various shades of the meaning of evil according to its contextual usage. It means bad in a moral and ethical sense and is used to describe, along with good, the entire spectrum of good and evil; hence, it depicts evil in an absolute, negative sense, as when it describes the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Gen_2:9; Gen_3:5, Gen_3:22). It was necessary for a wise king to be able to discern the evil or the good in the actions of his people (Ecc_12:14); men and women are characterized as evil (1Sa_30:22; Est_7:6; Jer_2:33). The human heart is evil all day long (Gen_6:5) from childhood (Gen_8:21); yet the people of God are to purge evil from among them (Deu_17:7). The Lord is the final arbiter of whether something was good or evil; if something was evil in the eyes of the Lord, there is no further court of appeals (Deu_9:18; 1Ki_14:22). The day of the Lord's judgment is called an evil day, a day of reckoning and condemnation (Amo_6:3). Jacob would have undergone grave evil (i.e., pain, misery, and ultimate disaster) if he had lost Benjamin (Gen_44:34). The word can refer to circumstances as evil, as when the Israelite foremen were placed in a grave situation (Exo_5:19; 2Ki_14:10).
The word takes on the aspect of something disagreeable, unwholesome, or harmful. Jacob evaluated his life as evil and destructive (Gen_47:9; Num_20:5); and the Israelites considered the wilderness as a threatening, terrifying place. The Canaanite women were evil in the eyes of Isaac (i.e., displeasing [Gen_28:8]). The rabble's cry within Israel for meat was displeasing in the eyes of Moses (Num_11:10). This word describes the vicious animal that killed Joseph, so Jacob thought (Gen_37:33). The despondent countenances of persons can be described by this word; the baker's and the butler's faces were downcast because of their dreams (Gen_40:7). It can also describe one who is heavy in heart (Pro_25:20).
In a literal sense, the word depicts something that is of poor quality or even ugly in appearance. The weak, lean cows of Pharaoh's dream were decrepit, ugly-looking (Gen_41:3, Gen_41:20, Gen_41:27); poisonous drinking water was described as bad (2Ki_2:19; 2Ki_4:41). From these observations, it is clear that the word can be used to attribute a negative aspect to nearly anything.
Used as a noun, the word indicates realities that are inherently evil, wicked, or bad; the psalmist feared no evil (Psa_23:4). The noun also depicts people of wickedness, that is, wicked people. Aaron characterized the people of Israel as inherently wicked in order to clear himself (Exo_32:22). Calamities, failures, and miseries are all connotations of this word when it is used as a noun.
