| The Southern Babtists do not want the NNIV in their bobble stores. They can't like this bobble. Mainline apostates love the NNIV. |
They will keep studying that thing until everyone approves it. They had the young guys, worried about future calls, review the NNIV anonymously. How quaint.
The five weakest passages in this section of the NIV11
D 1) Ro 3:27 “Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith.”
With the 2011 edition the NIV no longer uses “principle” as its translation of νόμος in this verse. The reader instead is allowed to appreciate how Paul is playing on that word νόμος. Due to our usual understanding of “law,” however, one wonders how many readers will discern the point the apostle is making. In addition, rendering νόμος πίστεως as “the law that requires faith” implies that believing the Gospel is the one deed that God demands. “All you have to do is believe” is not a Scriptural doctrine, however.

Romans 3:24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
By repeating “all” from the previous clause, the NIV11 makes universal / objective justification more clear in this context than the ESV which does not restate the subject for the second verb and the HCSB which opts for “They are justified….” Here the NIV11 has the simplest exegetical-doctrinal solution.

The UOJist's perversion of Romans 3:24 is consistent with their continued persecution of Christ and His Church.
Solafide recently brought attention to this twisting of God's Word in this post :

A simple look at the context of verses which the UOJists rip their proof texts from is enough for a third grader to label them heretics and enemies of the cross of Christ.
Romans 3:
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Only a pagan can get UOJ (justification: the forgiveness of sins without faith) out of those passages.
