1 | Why include "even" in John 1:12 | John 1:12 | flinkywood | 27241 | ||
Nolan, I misquoted the HCSB. It should read "But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be chidren of God, to those who believe in His name." Here "to become" is "to be", which makes "even" completely unnecesary. To "believe in" implies commitment; so why the NASB inclusion when it's not present in the Greek and confuses the verse? Maybe they're interpreting. If so, it ain't literal. I prefer the NKJV; I like it's music and style. The NASB feels more labored, as though it's thinking too hard. It makes me doubt it's collective wisdom. Have you read any of the HCSB? It reads clearly without a pile of interference (NIV), but cuts to the modern chase a little too hard in places. I also question its English usage. Here's Acts 16:18: "And she did this for many days. But Paul was greatly aggravated..." A condition is aggravated; a person is irritated. Both the NKJV and the NASB have it as "annoyed". Too many translations, man. Don't you love it? Colin | ||||||

With regard to your assessment of the NASB: That's your opinion. | ||||||
