Subject: what about the K J V |
Bible Note: Greetings Ed! Thank you for posting the NLT and NASB renderings of Psalm 116:15. The ESV translates it this way.. "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints." As for the New Living Translation (NLT), it is a great and vast improvement over its predecessor, the Living Bible, and it is one of the most clear and readable translations on the market today. However, the NLT is still "too interpretive" for me and I do not like the 'word order' and overall style of the NLT. It is not as "functionally equivalent" as I would like, and I was not altogether impressed with it. But that is not to say that you won't be. This is all just my own opinion! If you find that the NLT is readable and accurate and if it suits your needs, then by all means- use it! You have made a good choice in picking a Bible with the NLT. However, the NLT is not one of my favorites. Blessings to you, Nolan |
