This is from Proverbs 18:24. In the NET Notes a source cited says "there are friends who are unreliable." But then disagrees with that rendering.

Really now, surely we can all agree that a 'modern' version should eliminate old-fashioned expressions such as "full of fatness.' The NET reads identically as the NIV. The NET reads the same as the NIV here. The NET reads : "Yes, God is great --beyond our knowledge!" The phrase "we know him...

The NET text reads : Your wickedness affects only a person like yourself, and your righteousness only other people. This is another case in which the term 'son of man' is an antiquated term for people in contexts such as these.

The NET Note supports 'refute.'

Please don't give me any more ideas! Just kidding, I have lots of time on my hands. I could do just that, in the future. I'm hesitant to say near future. Off-hand, I'd say E.J.G. would be a lot closer to the mediating translations of today than Phillip's translation. The language would be a bit...

I listened to my former pastor's talk all the way through. It's fascinating that the Lockman Foundation gave permission for MacArthur's six scholars to undertake this revision of the NASB while proceeding with the 2021 edition. I wonder which one will be more popular.

I said New Testament Bible scholars, both Liberal as well as Conservative use the terms functional equivalence and dynamic equivalence. For the moment I am not speaking of anyone else. If you are well-read on the subject, why are you surprised that these scholars use those terms? Is it because...

So what category would you place translations such as the NLT, CEV, GNT, NCV, GW ? What term would you use that describes their translational philosophy?

Agreed.

2 Peter 1:20,21 You must understand this in the first place, that no prophecy ever originated in the human will, but under the influence of the holy Spirit men spoke for God.

Acts concluded 21:11 ESV : Thus says the Holy Spirit ATT : This is what the holy Spirit says 21:16 ESV : with who we should lodge ATT : to spend the night 22:22 ESV : Up to this word they listened to him. Then they raised their voices ATT : They had listened to him until he said that, but...

Acts 19:13 ESV : I adjure you ATT : I command you 19: 23 ESV : there arose no little disturbance ATT : a great commotion arose 19:24 ESV : brought no little business ATT : making large profits 20:12 ESV : not a little comforted ATT : greatly comforted 20:16 ESV : he was hastening to be at...

Acts 14:28 ESV : they remained no little time with the disciples AAT : there they stayed for a long time with the disciples 16: 15 ESV : she prevailed upon us AAT : she appealed to us 17: 4 ESV : not a few AAT : a number 17:24 ESV : does not live in temples made by man AAT : does not live in...

No one has mentioned your favorite boogieman. My OP has nothing to do with it, and your MM quote had nothing to do with it. Stay in the right lane.

A lot of New Testament scholars have had no such hesitation about using Nida's terms; both Liberal and Conservative ones.

That wasn't a question. Why did you end your statement with a question mark?

It's better than the ESV, NKJV and NASB in that regard.

I am asking if translations that don't have a reader's response in mind can properly be called dynamic. For instance, that sort of terminology is not in the six page Introduction To The NLT. But the NLT is regarded by many as the premiere dynamic --- equivalence translation.

Continuing in the book of Acts : 9: 41 ESV : he presented her alive AAT : he gave her back to them alive 10:6 ESV : with one Simon, a tanner AAT : a tanner named Simon 10:17 ESV : having made inquiry AAT : asked the way 10:26 ESV : I too am a man AAT : I am only human myself 10:27 ESV ...

I will begin to give snippets of verse comparisons in the book of Acts between Goodspeed's An American Translation and the ESV. I'll use AAT for Goodspeed. Remember, I'll be using his 1948 edition in which "the general cast of the translation remains unchanged" from the 1923 version. 2:22 ESV ...
