1 | The NASB is interpreting here | Rev 22:12 | kalos | 131992 | ||
Steve and Dalcent: It is not uncommon for a modern English Bible translation to change a noun into a verb in order to make the meaning clearer. Of course, when the translators do this they are deviating from the strictly literal translation. However, I'm not convinced that the majority of us would be happy with a translation that was 100 percent literal. Sometimes an overly literal translation of a word or phrase does not faithfully convey what the words actually mean, as is the case with Hebrew idioms, for example. Grace and shalom, Kalos |

Hello kalos, I agree with you concerning 100 percent literal. There are some instances when a more literal translation is quite understandable and preferred. Steve |
