Both are true, and aspects of God's salvation. Lee decided that John's writings were more "spiritual," and just another way he could "improve" on "poor, poor, Christianity."
We, however, don't need to choose sides, and can accept both.

I agree Ohio. I believe what John and Paul wrote about are one an the same. Paul seems to use the Roman custom as a means one might relate to. Something I had brought up privately with a brother is the initial New testament recovery version translation back in 1985 I believe. My first edition may be in California at my parents home. It would be interesting to see how Ingalls, Duane, and Knoch translated those verses. You see Ohio, I have an issue. Just as Obama has an agenda with gun control, LSM appears to have an agenda HOW the Bible is translated. When LSM translates, the agenda is to have the text line-up with key LSM doctrines (God's economy, God-man teaching, and deptuty authority).
Since the 1985 edition occurred before the drastic change that occurred in the late 1980's, it would be interesting to know what changes were made to the recovery version post-1990. My current position is the initial RcV edition has more credibility than following editions.
