Bible Note: There are so many helps available today for those who would like to study the Bible in the original languages that almost anyone can do a word study. You don't have to have years of study to be able to look up a word in Strongs, Youngs, or Vine's. All you need to know is the English word. And now with computers and the internet and the aids that are available, and the language courses that are available over the internet, there is no excuse. In my opinion, the problem with the different English versions of the Bible being produced today is that those producing them have tried to go so far to make it understandable in English that they have left the original meaning behind. A literal "word-for-word" translation can be understood if one will take the time to read it. A good example is the Literal Translation of the Bible by J.P. Green Sr. which I would recommend as a good study Bible. You may not agree with all the renderings but it is as close to reading the original languages as any translation I have found. |
