Acts 8:37 wasn't in the original. It was added later in some manuscripts.
Well, I don't like debating the KJV, and that's off topic for this post. It is clear she is choosing between NIV and NLT. If one does not have some understanding of the connection of each translation to the source manuscripts and fragments, then I do not see how he can argue for the accuracy of any particular translation (although everyone can have an opinion). Who wants to argue that the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic is less accurate than the KJV?
Acts 8:37 only exists in some of the late manuscripts. The early manuscripts contain the gospel of Luke without this verse. I like some of the word choices in KJV, because sometimes they are more exact translation into the English, but the KJV has less translation-principles-based accuracy and lacks footnotes like one would find in the NKJV indicating why Acts 8:37 is missing.
Hello!! I am about to purchase a new Bible and they have both the NLT and NIV in the kind I want. I own one NIV but I have never had an NLT. I can't decide if I like the way the NLT reads so I am having a hard time deciding. I also am about to buy a study Bible that is NIV and I feel like having 3 NIVs would be a little much so I thought an NLT would give me more variety in my studying and might allow a new perspective. I would love any thoughts or opinions about what you like and don't like!!! Thank you!!!

The NIV and ESV versions both use the Dead Sea Scrolls in their translations of the Old Testament. These were not available to earlier translators. Most of the Dead Sea Scrolls were written from between about 100 BC - 70 AD. The Dead Sea Scrolls were noticeably different when compared to later manuscripts. The Dead Sea Scrolls were primarily in Hebrew. The first scrolls were discovered in 1947.Hello!! I am about to purchase a new Bible and they have both the NLT and NIV in the kind I want.

It doesn’t matter which you read, they all say the same thing in a sense.Hello!! I am about to purchase a new Bible and they have both the NLT and NIV in the kind I want.
