authoritarians love to quote the "rule over you" of KJV

Salute all them that have the rule over you, 
and all the saints. (KJV)


( authoritarians love to quote the "rule over you" 
of this translation )
It is the only translation that emphasises "rule over".


Give our greetings to all of your spiritual leaders 
and to all of the saints. (AMP)


Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. (DRA)


Say hello to your pastoral leaders and all the congregations. (TM)


Greet ye well all your sovereigns, and all holy men 
[Greet well all your provosts, and all saints]. (WYC)


Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; (YLT)

‎"Good shepherds do not treat people like sheep. 
They understand that shepherding is a metaphor, not an office
Shepherds are sheep also, 
and they need to lead people in the same manner 
as they themselves are led by the Lord." 
- Graham Cooke


‎"Part of our spiritual development must be founded 
on the freedom of the individual. 
Constraint without development is punishment. 
All around us people are learning about God and about themselves. 
It is vital to respect that learning, and as much as possible, 
empower people to love the learning process." 
- Graham Cooke




"The 99 have a problem with their own behaviour 
when the Good Shepherd leaves to find the one." - from FBK
