Here’s another link to a site that will give you scads of parallel versions with access to the Greek or Hebrew.

Scholarly work.

But for the dedication of those men to faithfully translate the words from Greek and Hebrew to English, you would not even have an English Bible to quote from or study.

Every single word in the Bible that you use is the product of definitions derived from Biblical and ancient language scholars.

Each word must be interpreted in its context before it can be given an English equivalent, but no matter how you slice it, metmom, every single verse you read in English and quote in English is the work product of some unnamed Bible Scholar for which you apparently have nothing but contempt.

The bottom line is that unless you are intimately acquainted with Ancient Greek and Hebrew and Aramaic, then you are not actually reading unadulterated Scripture. You are reading the personal and collective interpretations of thousands of Biblical Scholars.

Now there is a phrase we have become rather familiar with!!! You forgot “thank the Catholic Church”. The lack of faith that God preserved His word to us but rather giving credit to some man is astounding.
