    The quote is actually a verse that is one of my favorites (Hebrews 3:13).

    Hmmm....interesting. On my monitor it shows up as a small box with a red 'x'. Oh well....

    Best of luck with your project.

    I don't know Gaelic, but I have a New Testament in the language, so here goes:
    Ach earailichibh a chéile gach aon là, am feadh a ghoriear An là 'n diugh dheth;

    The semicolon at the end is in the English and Gaelic, but you could end the sentence with a period there if you wanted. I hope this helps.
    --dbh

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    Very excellent! Thank you for taking the time to find this. I am interested in the version of text that you have...would be a grand comparison, as I am learning Scots Gaelic as well. Where did you get it?


    Btw.. BOLDHIGHLANDER, the text reads:

    "Encourage one another, as long as a day is called today"

    Cheers,

    Is this Irish Gaelic or Scottish?
