Paul's Handkerchief is Bible study with a difference — going word-by-word through Scripture to reclaim the Ancient Near East context, romance, and mystery that modern translations often leave behind.

Only about 3% of people around the world who start the Bible ever finish it. The 3% Club is for those ready to break that cycle — reading the entire Bible at their own pace, backed by community and tools built to make finishing not just possible, but inevitable. You also get a certificate to celebrate your achievement.

Bible Cafe isn't just Bible study — it's a personal, intimate conversation with Him. Think less classroom, more kitchen table. It combines the original Coffee with Jesus experience with activities like quizzes, crosswords, journaling and more, all designed to let the Word shape your heart, not just your head.

Most English Bibles can't carry the full weight of what's in the original Hebrew and Greek. The F.O.G Bible Project exists to change that — three new translations built publicly (a Study Bible, a Reader's Bible, and F.O.G Jr. for younger readers), plus a word-by-word renewal of Strong's Concordance restoring the depths most translations leave behind. It is Jean Paul's lifelong work, unfolding in public — and you're invited in.

Jean Paul Joseph is the lead editor of the F.O.G Bible Project. He works from a personal encounter with Jesus first, then draws on the scholarship of respected Jewish and Christian scholars — because the church was Jewish before it was anything else, and those roots change everything about how you read Scripture.

You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ: though He was rich beyond all measure, for your sake He made Himself poor—so that through His poverty you might be made eternally rich.

The F.O.G

For you know the grace-gift of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah: that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor—so that through His poverty you might become rich.

KJV

King James Version

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.

BSB

Berean Standard Bible

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

Footnotes

This verse is the theological engine of the chapter. 'plousios on' (being rich / while being rich) is a concessive participle—He was simultaneously rich and becoming poor, pointing to the Incarnation as the moment of enacted poverty. 'eptōcheusen' is aorist—a single, decisive, point-in-time act. 'ptōcheia' denotes the poverty of a beggar, the starkest possible contrast with divine wealth. FOG preserves the raw economic register; FOG Message draws out the eschatological reach of the resulting richness.
