Bible Note: justme, thanks and amen! to your comments on TNIV and NRSV. Virtually all modern English translations, whether they are formal word-for-word or paraphrased, use the Critical Text of the NT, about which text I have certain misgivings. Most of the time, therefore, I use the NKJV. But I still like the Authorized Version and use it quite frequently too. It's hard for me to cast aside the King James. I can give no earthly reason for forsaking the KJV, but I can give a number of reasons for continuing to cherish it, but I will present only one at this time. I carried the King James New Testament to Sunday School when I was a small boy. That was sixty years ago. I remember how happy I was to own my very own copy. I still have it, by the way. Like me, it has aged on the outside. But its words within remain as fresh and vibrant and true as they were the day I read them for the very first time. We have aged together, that little King James New Testament and I. As I have come to know it more, I have come to love its Author even more still. So please don't make me an offer to buy it! As the old farmer said of the farm he cherished so dearly, "Brother, they ain't enough gold bricks in Fort Knox to buy it! :-) Blessings to you, justme. --Hank |
