Bible Note: skybender: Actually the NASB is the better translation. I would add remember that thye NIV is a thought for thought version, and the old KJV uses words and syntext we would not use that way today. The NIV is wrtten on a 6th to 8th grade reading level, whereas the KJV is on a 12th grade reading level. I have never read what reading level the NASB is, but I would estimate about 10th grade. The problem is we have not educated and trained students to read much beyond the grade they were last in. That's my opinion, not a fact. However I was a rather poor reader when I was a child, and the KJV was all I knew until I was an adult. That's the way it was in the "olden days". justme |
