Walk In My Ways [KJV, Many Places]

There is a problem with more accurate translations - sometimes the poetry of the archaic language is lost. The phrase in the title of this post is used in the KJV to mean "obey My commandments" or "follow My teaching." Both of these, however more accurate, are more passive that the KJV translation. The KJV version is more physical, gets us more involved.

It actually does not matter much which translation of the Bible is used on the trip to Jerusalem. What matters is walking in God's ways, and doing it poetically - brightly, proudly, and with great, great beauty.
