JESUS QUOTED THE OLD TESTAMENT, BUT NOT VERBATIM, AND NOT WORD FOR WORD. HE SOMETIMES TRANSLATE THESE BIBLE VERSES LOOSELY. OTHER NEW TESTAMENT AUTHORS LIKE PAUL AND PETER TOO QUOTED THE OLD TESTEMENT NOT WORD FOR WORD.
WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM JESUS, PAUL AND PETER WHEN CHOOSING BIBLE VERSIONS?
Jesus did often paraphrase or interpret the Old Testament, emphasizing the spirit of the teachings rather than strict word-for-word accuracy. This shows us that the essence of the message matters more than rigid adherence to the exact text. When choosing Bible versions, it’s crucial to consider the version that resonates with your understanding and spiritual growth. The interpretation that speaks to your heart and enhances your relationship with the teachings can often be the most meaningful. It's about connecting with the deeper truths conveyed.
Versions like the New International Version (NIV), New Living Translation (NLT), and New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) aim for thought-for-thought equivalency rather than word-for-word precision. These translations focus on conveying the overall message in a way that's clear and relatable for contemporary readers, rather than sticking rigidly to the original language and structure. Each offers a unique lens through which to understand the deeper truths of the Bible. THAT IS WHY I PREFER BIBLE LIKE NIV, ESV...
Take Matthew 4:4 for example. In the King James Version (KJV), it’s written: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” In the New International Version (NIV), it reads: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
These translations convey the same core idea—spiritual sustenance is as important, if not more so, than physical sustenance. They capture the essence of the teaching, even if the wording differs slightly. It’s about the underlying truth, not the exact phrasing.
AND BECAUSE OF THE CONFLICTS OF VERBAL PLENARY PRESERVATION IN THE BIBLE-PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, I HAVE STOP READING THE KJV AND AM THINKING OF THROWING IT!
