Is it right to pay taxes to the emperor or not?” Jesus recognized their evil plan, so he asked, “Why do you test me, you hypocrites? Show me a coin used to pay taxes.” They brought him a coin. But does this mean that we should respect the law of the land, or what is legal? So what should man follow? Let’s go to the book of Matthew chapter 22 the verses are 17 to 21 this is stated: Now just because a majority believes that something is right does not mean it’s right. Now we learned from the Holy Scriptures that we should not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion. Today, we’re facing the truth about legality and morality. God’s Laws versus the Laws of Man: Deciding What to Follow Now when we come back we’ll see how this mentality has closed peoples’ minds to the truth and have deceived many about the true nature of right and wrong. But the Bible says otherwise – we should not be moved or persuaded to do what is wrong just because it is the general opinion. Now when a majority believe something, it’s easier for others to accept that belief as being right or moral. Now, when determining right or wrong people are generally influenced by numbers. “Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:” Well what do people usually consider when making decisions in life? Well this was stated in the book of Exodus chapter 23 and the verse is 2: Now polls direct our decisions, sometimes it even shapes what people should believe in when it comes to religion or morality. Now before going out they have to know how many stars a place has, or how many people liked it. They look at all kinds of rating systems when it comes to deciding what to eat or what to buy. They turn to surveys when trying to decide who to vote for. Now today, many are influenced by surveys. Today, we’re asking the question that many have been asking for centuries – “just because something is legal, does it make it right or moral?” – or in other words, who has the right to determine what is right and what is wrong? And how do people come to their opinions about legality and morality or determine what’s right or wrong?

The NCV has been available as a stand-alone version since 1991. The New Century Version text was paired with notes containing advice on teenage issues to form "The Youth Bible," and was updated in 2007. With regard to gender language, the NCV is strongly gender-neutral." Based on the concern for clarity and simplicity of expression.
The goal of the NCV was to make a Bible that was clear and easily understood, and the translators based their vocabulary choice on a list of words used by the editors of The World Book Encyclopedia to determine appropriate vocabulary ('Preface,' p. The simplified ICB says nothing in its preface about its gender-neutral translation policy. Grudem and Poythress wrote, "The earliest complete translations of the Bible to adopt a gender-neutral translation policy were apparently the New Century Version (NCV) and the International Children’s Bible (ICB), both published by Worthy Publishing Company, which was sold to Word Publishing in 1988. A gender-neutral edition was first published in 1991, supplanting the original. The ICB was revised to a more sophisticated 5th grade reading level and was dubbed the New Century Version. The New Testament was first published in 1983 and the Old Testament followed in 1987. It is written at a 3rd grade level (from the introduction) and is both conservative and evangelical in tone. The ICB is a translation of the Bible that was aimed at young readers and those with low reading skills/limited vocabulary in English. The New Century Version ( NCV) is a revision of the International Children's Bible ( ICB). God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son so that whoever believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life.
