As of 1992 the Bible had been translated into 329 languages, the New Testament into an additional 758 tongues. In English alone, there are more than 60 Bible versions and New Testament translations in print — not counting thousands of different formats and bindings. Yet new versions continue to appear every year, the latest being Eugene Peterson's The Message (NavPress), which already has sold more than 110,000 copies. Its wide distribution and extravagant endorsements identify it as a version to reckon with, and to examine carefully.

s to style, some feel a Bible should be translated word for word, as is attempted in the New American Standard Bible (NASB). Others believe no accuracy is lost in a less rigid, more idiomatic translation such as the New International Version (NIV). (The King James Version [KJV] and New Revised Standard Version [NRSV] stand somewhere between the NASB and NIV.) Still others think translation remains faithful in a free and idiomatic rendering such as Today's English Version (TEV) or J. B. Phillips's New Testament in Modern English. The Message definitely falls in this latter category, but is freer and more expansive than either Phillips or the TEV.

There are 60 versions of the BIBLE in existence. Each having a different message, With the readers claiming their version to be the correct one. Now the question is witch version is correct. BTW any day now a new version of the BIBLE will be printed to suit the need of a particular version of Christianity.

Am I to suppose that your version of the BIBLE and Christianity is the correct one ?

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (KJV)

I will us the King James Version. This passage has been changed so many time to me whoever's need.
