The bible that I am currently reading THE NEW ENGLISH BIBLE Oxford study edition has 2 Esdras 8:

7 For you alone are God, and we are all shaped by you in one mould, as your word declares.
8 The body moulded in the womb receives from you both life and limbs; that which you create is kept safe amid fire and water; for nine months the body moulded by you bears what you have created in it.9 Both the womb which holds safely and that which is safely held will be kept safe only because you keep them so. And after the womb has delivered up what has been created in it,
10 then from the human body itself, that is from the breasts, milk, the fruit of the breasts, is supplied by your command.
11 For a certain time what has been made is nourished in that way; and afterwards it is still cared by your mercy.
12 You bring it up to know your mercy. You bring it up to know your justice, train it in your law, and correct it by your wisdom.
13 It is your creature and you made it, you can put it to death or give it life, as you please.
14 But if you should lightly destroy one who was fashioned by your command with so much labor, what was the purpose of creating him?

My problem? I have 6 other Catholic bibles with the Apocrypha and none has 2 Esdras. The Douay-Rheims bible has something entirely different. Why does one of my bibles have something so very different from others?

carlsagmeister,

I’m sorry I didn’t answer your original question. I decided just to post additional pro-life verses. I hope you don’t mind. I included the below verses because of the title of your post “Pro-life Bible Verse?”.
God Bless!

The NAB, for example, calls 2 Esdras, “Nehemiah,” instead. Why, I don’t know. Neither 2 Edras nor Nehemiah have what you have given as chapter 8. That is weird.
