This is a good example of Daniels presenting the problems with the NIV and ESV missing verses - since the KJV text is written and the Jefferson Bible style erasures are marked out like this, with the various guilty translations listed. This puts the lie to "I don't use the NIV. I use the ESV, which is much better" ELDONA lie.
Pastors and laity have the divine obligation to know what is happening in the giddy world of "translations" being paraphrases (Eugene Nida, ABS/UBS) that change their own wording frequently - especially the NIV and ESV.The fields of text and translation are large and varied, but there is no excuse to remain ignorant when so many readable books are available at reasonable prices.

Apostates hate the KJV. Norma A. Boeckler always quotes the KJV, which remains the best-selling translation, the only one connected to Martin Luther through the martyr William Tyndale, who died for the crime of translating the Bible from Hebrew and Greek. |
