Correct, the MEV is a TR-based translation (not MT-based). At first I didn't see a problem with BibleGateway's online texts. I did find the word "reward" in both the MEV and KJV at Isaiah 58:8 (MEV above the KJV)-- Then your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing...

I did a computer-aided search of the MLV mentioned in Post#5 (thread link because it is based on the Byz Text) for "reward". The results -- MODERN LITERAL VERSION Matthew Chapter 5 12 Rejoice and be glad, because your* reward is much in the heavens; for* thus, they persecuted...

I am not impressed with this as an example of a "good" note, if this is indeed the entire note. It may deliver an accurate fact ("present in over 900 mss") but it does so without any context. First, what kind of manuscripts are these 900? Are they Greek, Latin, Coptic, something else, or some...

Welcome to the BB, banana! If you have a question you might try a search of the BB to see if the subject has been discussed before. For example, look here -- https://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=57539&highlight=majority+text+versions The thread is slightly out-of-date since there...

Maybe this will work; see post #29 by Antenna Farmer. The whole thread is worth reviewing. https://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=35381&highlight=gnat&page=3

Another redundancy in Matthew (KJV) -- 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

More duplication from Matthew (KJV) -- 20:16b ... for many be called, but few chosen. 22:14 For many are called, but few [are] chosen.From what I can tell, the Greek TR is identical in both verses. However, the Greek CT does not have this latter 'b' portion of 20:16 at all.

Matthew is fond of certain phrases which he repeats (KJV) -- 8:12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into...

It does not seem to me that John the Baptist was trying convey that Jesus would take sin away in little pieces. John 1:29 KJV -- The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Jesus said: It is finished (John 19:30)...

God does not "decide" whether a person has met the requirement. He might rule upon their action in order to recognize it. He may register His approval (or disapproval, as the case may be) but there is no decision to be made. The action either mets His standard or it does not. The objective scale...

This kind of thinking could easily lead to universalism.

Notice your own words: "gain salvation by believing". Without the belief (aka faith) there is no salvation. While God certainly executes whatever is the 'actual transfer' (the cosmic mechanics or divine accounting of imputation in His mind) God is bound by His word (ie. His oath, His promise...

This is the simple logical construct found in John 3:16 -- If a person ("whosoever") does A ("believes") then they will receive B ("eternal life"), rather than C ("perish"). The phrase immediately before this construct identifies Who is the object of life-giving belief ("His only begotten...

Correct. Another way of literally translating it would be "consequently each believing-one" (which is clearly not smooth English).

It may not be such a good idea to spread Helen Keller's views since she held to that unique-type of Universalism.

It seems that Palmer's edited Greek text came out after the RV, so that in fact, his Greek justifies the English RV text.

The God's Word translation has been a topic of discussion here before. Here is just one link -- http://www.baptistboard.com/showthread.php?t=58411&highlight=God%27s+Word

On the cancer-free year-- Praise the Lord! On the gift-- nice gesture by your wife! I also prefer books that I can actually hold, feel the cover, and flip the paper. Sounds very nice. Bet its got a good size typeface, too. No, you're not wrong. The ASV is an Americanized version of the ERV...

Please post some examples where the '95 is shown to be less literal than the '77 version. Thanks

Ecclesiastes 1:8 (NRSV) -- All things are wearisome; more than one can express; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, or the ear filled with hearing. Very similar to the ESV -- All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear...
