2 | should I worry about using NIV over KJV | 2 Tim 3:16 | DocTrinsograce | 126256 | ||
The Word is inerrent in form that it was originally given to men, not in a translation. So the best thing for all of us to do would be to learn Hebrew and Greek! :-) However, translations have been done differently with different assumptions and different objectives. (Note that I'm not talking about paraphrases which aren't in the same league at all!) The KJV is actually a pretty good translation. I really like it. But it takes a little puzzling over because of the vocabulary. I really like the NASV, too. It is a very good word-for-word translation, much more like that of how the KJV translators worked. The NIV is okay, but it tried to convey more of the feel of sentences over their literal translation. I think that was a bit too difficult task, since the feel of a sentence in English would differ between someone from the Bronx and someone from Chattanooga. There's my 2 cents. I hope it helps. |
