(Ed. These are all missing in the NIV.) So now what do you think of your "accurate, easy to understand, up to date Bible"?

If you would like to improve your score, and in fact score 100%, you can take this test using the Authorized (King James) Bible.

Oooo that was illuminating... won't finish but had no idea how much was added to the texts.... I am glad I don't read KJV too much. Thank you for showing me that.

I really don't get why you AKJV-O fellas think your translation is superior to other translations. Do you not see the startling irony and hypocrisy when the AKJV is itself a translation?

The original texts are inspired, not translations. Quit putting it on a pedestal it doesn't deserve because at best it's borderline idolatry, at worst you can remove the borderline.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner!

I bet none of the KJO people read the preface of the KJV

I wasn't joking though. I am glad I was shown. I started going through with my ESV as well. The same things weren' in both.

 

[High Fidelity]

I bet none of the KJO people read the preface of the KJV

It just baffles me that it wasn't even the first English translation, so I'm not sure why it's seen the way it is lol. If it was really inspired, you'd think God would have inspired the first translation. Ah well, not going down that rabbit hole because no one's opinion ever changes.

All about tradition... people love their tradition. Actually when the KJV first came out it was itself a reviled and despised translation. Irony much?!

More accurate manuscripts are found over time. The KJV was great for its time, just like Ford Model T was great for its time, but times change, discoveries are made. Newer translations reflect that(not all of them, but suffice to say the KJV is no longer the most accurate English translation).

 

[bekkilyn]

My NRSV has all those verses that the KJV added to the original manuscripts in the footnotes. Some KJV translations put these verses in parentheses to show that they weren't found in the earliest manuscripts.

It's not that the verses are missing from the NIV, but that they were added to the KJV.

ESV is probably the best modern translation IMHO

 

[High Fidelity]

ESV is probably the best modern translation IMHO

I'd say the NASB is the most accurate English translation with the ESV a very close second. I use both regularly

Truth!

These are what I consult most often;

 

[chevyontheriver]

I bet none of the KJO people read the preface of the KJV

Or all 73 books of the original KJV before it got shortened.

Very nice

 

[Sam91]

I read ESV and NIV. Loaned my friend my NKJV. I google verse comparisons if I need to.. rarely though.

 

[chevyontheriver]

Verse comparisons are a great idea because we are either reading imperfect translations or we are very imperfect translators of Greek and Hebrew. Me? I use the RSVCE mostly with other texts to clarify. And Google helps a lot.

 

[ByTheSpirit]

I use eSword on my iPad and it has comparison and parallel tabs... soooo helpful

ESV is my preferred translation with the NIV & NLT close behind

 

[JackRT]

One of the more interesting disputed passages is John 7:53 - 8:11—the story of the woman caught in adultery of whom Jesus says, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her"—has been getting some interesting treatment by the scholars. The evidence that it was not an original part of this gospel is clear. The verses are absent from a wide array of early and diverse witnesses (papyrus 66, papyrus 75, Aleph [Codex Sinaiticus], B [Codex Vaticanus] and a host of others), and there is evidence that some manuscripts of John place these verses after John 7:36, some after John 7:52, some after John 21:25, and one manuscript even has it in the Gospel of Luke after Luke 21:38.
