I do see some problems still exist in it's translation

Would you care to name them?

The NIV and NAS come from corrupt Greek texts.

I’m sure you could find websites that do a more thorough break-down, but here is one example that comes to mind.

When Jesus is asking Peter if he loves Him, in the KJV all you see the the word “love.” In the Greek, the words for love in the Greek are philos and Agape. I don’t remember the sermon off hand, but when you read the story in the Greek, there is so much more in that then meets the eye in the KJV.

I’m not saying that the KJV is corrupt, just that in the English, it doesn’t always care over the whole meaning. Now I use the KJV and love it, but my church has in it’s pews the NIV, which I don’t love. However, when you are being guided in Church by the pastor, it still works to convey God’s message.

Another version I don’t like is the Living Bible. However, my rebel sister was lead back to the Lord through the use of the Living Bible, because KJV didn’t make sense to her.

I definately believe that there are bad, good, and better versions to use for study, but like I said before, the Holy Spirit as your guide is most important.

Sincerely
