Subject: What is the best version of the Bible? |
Bible Note: You make a very good point here. In support of your posting, I would like to add the following: The translators of the King James Version said, " ... variety of translations is profitable for the finding out of the sense of the Scriptures" and "We affirm and avow that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession ... contains the Word of God, nay is the Word of God." (Holy Bible, Contemporary English Version, New York: American Bible Society, 1995) Note: "the very meanest translation of the Bible in English ... is the Word of God." ("Meanest" here is used in the following sense of the word "mean" -- lacking distinction or eminence : HUMBLE) |
