~”Right, but it is seldom used.”~

Anecdotally, I was in a meeting with the leaders of my ward (PEC, for sevenbak’s sake), and we were doing some scripture study. We turned to John 1. We read through the first few verses, then I reminded them that the Joseph Smith Translation clarifies it a great deal.

Point being, yes, we have access to JST, but in practice we don’t use it much. In my opinion, the primary reason that Smith was commanded to retranslate the Bible was to give us many of the great sections of the Doctrine & Covenants. Some of the greatest doctrine in there was given to Joseph as he was pondering the Bible during the retranslation process.

‘Retranslated’? ... Amazing! And you claim to be bright!

Can you 'clarify' it for ME?

I must be confused.

Excellent insight!
