AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 18:11 "The Pharisee stood [ostentatiously] and began praying to himself [in a self-righteous way, saying]: 'God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of men--swindlers, unjust (dishonest), adulterers--or even like this tax collector. |
Subject: Would this be biblically accurate? |
Bible Note: Kalos, Thank you very much also for your vigor to convey your honest convictions. It is good that we may address harder issues at times, insofar as the scripture does so itself. I myself would desire to exercise accountability with the members of this forum, whenever my perspectives may not be fully deemed as biblical. This may involve polite and honest exchange. Thank you further for the clarifications that you provide here. I am perhaps slow to understand at times. I do feel that the Amplified Bible text is the Lockman Foundation's attempt to go beyond the literal word for word tranlation of the NASB, without having to resort to a thought for thought translation. It's almost like having the NASB's margin notes right in the text itself, except to a much greater level. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
