How the 2 checks landed
- ~ FAITHFUL 2
This is a count, not a verdict. We grade songs, one at a time, against what each one does with the text. A tally of those checks describes a catalogue. It is not a judgment of the people who wrote or sang it, and no number here puts anyone on or off The List. Most drift is craft pressure, not deception. Read the proofs, not the arithmetic.
The songs
~ FAITHFUL
“Be Kind and Compassionate”
Slugs & Bugs (Randall Goodgame)
Sing it, and teach it to your children. It is Ephesians 4:32 whole, its reason included, in the current NIV's wording. No translation is named anywhere, so check the words against an NIV once.✓ The verse survives whole, and so does the clause that gives the command its reason. A child learns the kindness and the ground for it in a single breath

“Micah 6:8”
Slugs & Bugs (Randall Goodgame)
Sing it, and hand it to your kids. It is Micah 6:8 whole, in the current NIV's wording, with the reference sung into the chorus. No translation is named anywhere, so check the words against an NIV yourself.✓ The verse is sung whole and in order, and every added line is a phrase the verse already supplied
⚠ No translation is named on the album page, the songbook, the sheet music listing, or the video description, so the NIV wording has to be recognised rather than checked
