which is the best translation between the KJV and the Niv 2011?

Have I forbidden the reading of translations other than the NIV! LOL!



I expressed the opinion that the NIV in its updated form is superior to that of the 84 edition. The Y-man spouts but rarely answers questions. He doesn't actually read what he complains about.



What's the matter? Is it too Calvinistic for you Robert?:smilewinkgrin:

No, he probably just prefers the 1984 Niv edition, a superior version to 2011 one!

You have the same old refrain. Would you mind listing some specific passages from the 84 model that you think are superior renderings compared with the 2011 edition?

And the Y-man has no answer.

Would you prefer the 84 version with its translation of sarx usually being "sinful nature" instead of normally "flesh" as in the 2011 model?

Actually, being a calvinist, dp think the idea of sinful nature better contrasts what we are as sinners, before having new natures in Christ!
