Marriage
"We also wish warmly to affirm those sisters and brothers, already in membership with orthodox churches, who - while experiencing same-sex desires and feelings - nevertheless battle with the rest of us, in repentance and faith, for a lifestyle that affirms marriage [between a man and woman] and celibacy as the two given norms for sexual expression. There is room for every kind of background and past sinful experience among members of Christ's flock as we learn the way of repentance and renewed lives, for "such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:11). This is true inclusivity."

Synopsis
"This revision of the Robertson/Broadus Harmony of the Gospels attempts a greater precision in defining the "inner movements" of Jesus' life and a deeper understanding of His death and resurrection. This is done through the subdivision of some of the longer sections into smaller portions. Robertson's paragraph numbers have been retained and assigned lowercase suffixes to indicated subdivisions. Explanatory footnotes of historical and geographical features, and of theological and chronological matters have been multiplied in this revision and this work provides the New International Version translation of the gospels which is based on a more literal philosophy of translating the Greek text."
