Which Version Do You Prefer?

<DIR>Luke 6:31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.

A nice little suggestion Jesus gave to us all! Although it reads a bit more like a commandment, doesn't it? That is the Familiar KJV, but I really love the way JB Phillips translated it.

&nbsp;"Treat men exactly as you would like them to treat you." Luke 6:31

I use the NIV and NKJV. I have a NIV Study Bible and a Reformation study Bible in NKJV. I also have the 21st Century KJV which is interesting. I have a NASB but hardly use it. A good friend of mine reads his Bible in the original languages. Both the old and new testaments.

NIV, then NKJV

Do Post them, won't you? Then we can scroll down and compare the versions seeing how they differ and how they are the same.

How about posting the 21st centry rendition won't you? Thanks!

And any others you might like to share, OK?
