One of 'em.

C'mon Kolo. Parse out the Angelic Salutation for us, please.

It was the first English translation of the Catholic Bible in the 1600s, I think. It was translated from the Latin Vulgate.

Different translations can cause different interpretations of verses in the Bible. Language usage changes over time and as each translation changes to keep up with the language and taking into account the translators beliefs and prejudices they can actually change the original meaning if one is a not a Biblical scholar. (And I certainly am not one)

I started out from 6-12 with KJV Bible and at 12 I got an RSV. Now I have a NAB and a Douay Rheims but still prefer the RSV for my regular reading and for the great concordance.
