Subject: What is the most accurate version? |
Bible Note: Kalos All I'm saying is when a direct word for word translation is not possible and a compromise must be made, who can say this word is more accurate than that word when neither exactly convey the meaning of the original? I may say I prefer this word but you might prefer another, does that make one of us wrong and the other right? No! What it really means is, to me this word most closely represents what I think the writer was saying and you think your word does the same. If we did this in honesty and a desire to be as faithful as we could, does it make one of us more accurate and the other less? I don't think so. EdB |
