Brad K, I'm wondering if you could please give me one verse from this translation. It is one verse that I turn to first whenever I see a Bible that I am unfamiliar with. The verse is, Hebrews 1:3 Here it is in the KJV, Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: And now, the NIV, The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Now, the NLT, The Son reflects God's own glory, and everything about him represents God exactly. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of his command. After he died to cleanse us from the stain of sin, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God of heaven. Amen. Praise God for His Living Word. The point I am trying to illustrate, never hearing before of a TNIV, is, how does this Bible translate the relation between Jesus and His Father, God? Can you see the discrepancy between two translations above, and the third one? I shall await your reply, thank you, and God Bless. tim |

Greetings Tim, Here is the TNIV rendition of Hebrews 1:3.. "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven." This passage from the TNIV is identical to the NIV. Here are a few other modern renditions of this verse.. "He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high," [English Standard Version] "who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high," [New King James Version] "He is the radiance of His glory, the exact expression of His nature, and He sustains all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." [Holman Christian Standard Bible] Blessings to you, Makarios |

Thank-you for your reply, Makarios, nice to hear from you again. I like the versions that you sent along w/the requested info. As you see, what concerns me with any translation is how they react to Jesus. If you noticed, I included a paraphrased version that tells us Jesus is a reflection of God's Glory. This is I feel, inaccurate. It is telling me that Jesus is to the moon as God is to the sun, (the moon does not give off any light of it's own, but reflects from another source). Other translations I like use the words Refulgence, or Effulgence (of God's Glory), which means a brilliant radiance from within. This is something I use to test different versions, but I enjoyed paraphrased versions when I first started studying God's Word and did not care what others thought. I am a firm believer in the very best Bible in print is the one that you will read. This plants the seed and the Holy Spirit will nurture the seed for growth as God sees fit. again, Thank you kindly, Peace and Blessings to you, too, brother. Tim |

Greetings Timothy Paul! Wise statement: 'the best Bible in print is the one that you will read.' Or, I could say, 'the most important Bible in print..' This is why we must carefully choose the Bible that will be our "exclusive" Bible for all-purpose use. I like the unique way in which you look at Hebrews 1:3! Here are a few more translations.. [1901 ASV] "who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;" [1889 Darby] "who being the effulgence of his glory and the expression of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, having made by himself the purification of sins, set himself down on the right hand of the greatness on high," [The Emphasized Bible by J.B. Rotherham] "3 Who, being an eradiated brightness of his glory, and an exact representation of his very being, also bearing up all things by the utterance of his power, purification of sins, having achieved, sat down on the right hand of the majesty in high places:" [Montgomery New Testament] "3 He being an emanation of God’s glory and stamp of his substance, and upholding the universe by the utterances of his power, after by himself making purification of our sins, has taken his seat on the right hand of the Majesty on High." [The Living Oracles New Testament] "3 who, being in effulgence of his glory, and an exact representation of his character, and controlling all things by his own powerful word, after he had, by himself, made expiation for our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;" Blessings to you, Makarios |
