I thikn that the other versions of the Bible are good for explaining a little, more like a commentary then a reading Bible. This is because While I was reading one night I came across this verse from 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.- King James Version look at the difference between this and the one from the NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION. You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. This one isn\'t much differnet but it does change al ittle more.The passage is switched a little and instead of little children it says dear children, how do the people who translated this know that John meant that in this passage? Look at the NEW LIVING TRANSLATION VERSION. But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. I like reading this version as a commentary instead of as a Bible because it adds a bit of information to the verse that wasn\'t there before I just don\'t get it. How do I know if other versions in the Bible don\'t do it the same way, and what if they are saying different then what they mean? Please undersatnd that I am not turning down any other version I read them a lot, they have helped me understand more about the Bible if you read them in the right way.If I am wrong can you please tell me.[/quote] On this topic I have one strong warning. That is not making the KJV the only Bible given from God in your mind. There is a cult out there that believes this stuff and people who work in this realm of thinking and are known by their fruits. The fruit of division is very apparent in their teachings and methods. Remember we are not worshipers of the bible but of God, who through His Spirit reveals the true meaning of the words. Otherwise the bible is a story book that the world likes to quote and memorize to show off. The word of God has power to it. And you must test the spirit of the person who speaks it.
