hey guys, what are people opinions about the best bible version to study with? doesnt have to be the most simple text. just a good english translation that is as close to original scriptures possible.
thanks
thanks
Perhaps you should research biblical translation. It is a very interesting process, and not an easy one by any means. Translation is not simple and not a fast process. It takes time, money, time, people, time, and education. You can't just get an old MS and start translating...horuhe00 said:Basicaly, your talking about a book that the first "print" was 2000 years ago more or less. Much has changed from translation to translation (and simple scribe "editing"). So I guess the best would be to get a copy of the most ancient edition and get a lot of people that know and translate it word for word. I'm sure many things will change slightly but significantly.

Have you ever actually read and researched the Received Text dedication?Theophorus said:KJV because it uses the received text, of course. But for comparison, the 1901 American Standard Version is hard to beat.
Are you speaking of the lengthy intro to the reader in the AV, or something written by Erasmus? The AV intro, yes.Dmckay said:Have you ever actually read and researched the Received Text dedication?
