As someone who favors the majority text, I spend most of my Bible reading time TR based bibles. KJV, NKJV, MEV, 1560 Geneva, 1537 Matthews, and Tyndale’s 1526 New Testament. The KJV translators said in their “translators to the readers section (missing from most KJV bibles today) to read a variety of translations to get a sense of what the scriptures are saying. That phrase stuck with me after I read it several years ago. I have just about all the major English translations and try to consult all of them as time allows.
Very helpful info! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Well done Wendy! ❤
Thank you!
I use ESV and have used NIV in the past. NASB is currently considered the most accurate. Thank you, Wendy. God bless 🙏😊
You’re welcome! I have the NASB as well though I prefer the ESV for seminary.
This is a great video. I never knew the difference.
Glad it was helpful!
Yes I have the NIV but ordering me the ESV instead
@@normalopez2856 Enjoy both!
I have been reading the NIV since 1984. The change to the 2011 version has not hindered my love for the NIV. I read the 2011 NIV along with the NRSV. PERFECTION!
Awesome!
praise the lord sister quick question what about the the missing verses in the esv the Bible says that we live on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God so shouldn’t we as Christian’s have bibles that have all of the King of glory words? Isn’t the Bible above our heads and it takes the spirit of God to reveal it ? Thank you sister
@@terrellking4174 The reason some verses are "missing" is because the scholars didn't see enough evidence in the original text that they should be included. The "missing" verses are supposed to more accurately reflect the original text.
Helpful video. I tend to have the ESV as my primary, but the NIV as my other translation, and then couple them with different translations when trying to figure out meaning, verse mapping, etc.. it’s helpful to have different translations for sure, so we’re pretty lucky as long as they all at least stay biblical. It’s funny when trying to memorize scripture though because there are times when I’ll prefer the way is worded in the NIV or ESV but then it’s like OK which translation did I use for this one again? Versus probably come out, sounding like a mixture between both at times.😂
I hear you! The same thing happens to me when I'm memorizing scripture.
This video was very helpful Wendy. I use the NIV on a regular basis. I find it much easier to read and understand. I do have a King James Bible and a ESV Psalter. I was told it’s good to have different versions of the Bible, but it can be overwhelming and confusing at times for me.
I'm so glad this video was helpful! Yes, you should have different versions to compare if possible. I'm sorry it can be overwhelming for you at times. Which things get confusing and overwhelming?
I’m new to Bible reading, studying and journaling. The overwhelming and confusion kicks in when others read from a different version of the Bible. It’s hard to follow them in a group or here on RUclips. I do try my best.
Glad to see you feeling better❤️
@@carolegswizzle5377 Thank you so much!
@@carolegswizzle5377 I hear what you're saying. It will get better and easier!
I love the ESV. My husband loves the NIV and uses it as his main Bible
Very cool!
I bought myself a ESV study bible as I heard it was the best. I love it and it does have alot of features but I find some of the notes fall flat for me. One pastor mentioned it has a Calvinistic viewpoint. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I don't think I'm Calvinistic
I'm not a Calvinist either but I had not hear that it leaned in that direction. I love ESV study bibles and I think that a healthy balance of commentaries and bible dictionaries will help you. If you pick up the two-volume Bible Knowledge Commentary and/or a dictionary like the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary, you'll have a solid start on understanding what's going on.
Also, I usually recommend having more than one translation available to compare. So, if you can, pick up an NLT or NIV to help deepen your studies. I hope that helps!
Would you say NLT and NIV are more similar??
Great question! Based on research I would say that the NLT is more thought for thought than then NIV. I think it's still a solid translation but it's still good to compare translations. Again, this is really good if you have trouble with the more formal translations or looking for something for personal study.
Good morning
Good morning!
I love the niv been using since 1995
That’s awesome! What’s your favorite part about that translation?
I'm new to Christianity although I'm older so maybe i need NIV. I need to understand like I am a child
Hello and welcome! Yes, if you were going to start with only one of these, it would be the NIV. The NLT is also a solid translation for beginners. Let me know if you need more help!
@@wendycoop Thank you
Yo, I need help. I'm confused about why the NIV says that Jehoiachin was eight years old, and the ESV says that Jehoiachin was eighteen years old.
So which Bible is True?
Can you give me the book, chapter, and verse so I can look it up for you?
Neither. Use the accurate King James Version. No missing verses or passages of Scripture in it. What would anyone not want a COMPLETE version of the Bible.
Interesting, thank you for responding! Are you aware of why there are "missing" verses?
