[Faith-talk] comparison of versions of the Bible

[Paul]

Doing this is nothing new.  I've been reading the New King James Version and 
listening to the 1966 Roman Catholic Jerusalem Bible, and I find personally 
(note I said _personally) that the JB for me makes the text of Scripture 
more clearer.  Of course, no English language version is absolutely perfect 
in that it can't convey every Hebrew, Greek, Chaldea and Aramaic word with 
absolute accuracy and fidelity to the modern English reader, but the 
translators do the best with what they have.  Maybe your preferred version 
is the NIV or maybe even the NLT, CEV or the Message.  As I've stated to 
people personally off line, whatever version of the Bible brings you to a 
closer relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ is all right with me. 
Just my two cents worth.  Paul
