The version is really irrelevant because we have the actual Greek and Hebrew for reference.


Exactly!

And which of the Hebrew and Greek textforms are you referring to? That's exactly why I pointed out that the underlying texts for the two translations are different. Furthermore, the NIV is not really a translation of the literal equivalency sort. NIV is done like a paraphrase, relying on dynamic equivalency, and that in the NT from a synthesized text. Readable? Maybe. Accurate? No. Precise? No. Misleading? Yes. Acceptable before Billy Graham's printing it up and distributing it? No. Does it have enough material in it to get saved? I think, yes. Good reliable study Bible? Not at all.

Got to go now.
