Bible Question: Is there a version of the Bible that exsists (in English), that was translated before the KJV. I dont mean the septungint or greek/hebrew Bibles. Ive heard some bickering between religions that "thier" Bible is the only correct one. ie a Baptist friend of mine will only touch the KJV, while a chirch of God friend the NIV, Methodist the NASB, and so on. Please, any thoughts on the subject will be read and appreciated. (by the way I , as of late, have been reading the NKJV and enjoy it very much.) thanks dw |
Bible Answer: The story is told of four ministers discussing the pros and cons of various Bible translations and paraphrases. Eventually each stated which version, in his opinion, is the best. The first minister said he used the King James because the Old English style is beautiful and produces the most reverent picture of the Holy Scriptures. The second said he preferred the New American Standard Bible because he felt it comes nearer to the original Greek and Hebrew texts. The third minister said his favorite was the paraphrased Living Bible because his congregation was young, and it related to them in a practical way. All three men waited while the fourth minister sat silently. Finally he said, "I guess when it comes to translations and paraphrased editions of the Bible, I like my Dad's translation best. He put the Word of God into practice every day. It was the most convincing translation I've ever seen." . The best Bible for you is the one that you actually read and heed. |
