WalkNTalk View Profile History	Does anyone want to weigh in on the Bible translation debate? Posted : 9 Aug, 2024 08:26 PM I used to like the NIV, but then they revised it, and I don't like their new rendition. I like KJV, but it is not the way that people talk now days. As such, it is not as good for reaching people. Case in point, borrowing from the KJV, Paul says, 1 Corinthians 14:19, "Yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue." At the time, I like the NAB which is more the way I talk and is similar to the old NIV and includes the Apocrypha as well. Post Reply

If you want a more literal translation, then go with the New American Standard Bible the King James Version and the English Standard Version A more “flowing” translation is the New International Version (NIV), and even more loose is the Phillips Translation and the Living Bible I would say the best of the worst is the message Bible Post Reply
