All about BIBLE TRANSLATIONS || Which version is BEST for YOU? 

Thanks for tuning in guys? So what are your thoughts on Bible translations? Have you read any versions? Or which one you thinking of trying? Blessings!

Love this video! I never understood the bible until I got an NLT study bible. It really helped put the bible into context. Without those notes, I would be lost.

I prefer the NIV. It still keeps to a standard wording but is easy to understand. But lots of times the Lord brings to mind a phrasing of scripture that is not necessarily found in one translation. Like withholding his face, like in the Psalms, like his people asking him not to hide his face from them. But "withholding" had more of a turning of the back of dilberate ignoring of someone. I couldn't find "withhold" on any of my online Bible translation searches, and I realized it was "hide" or "hid"

I ordered the study bible you guys recommended! Can’t wait to get in the word! My wife showed me your channel and I’m glad she did! I’ve watched almost all of the videos keep up the great work!

Hey, I'm Indian🇮🇳 And Ordered NLT🤗

I just discovered the AMP, and it’s amazing !

Thank you so much I heard many like the NLT study bible I too like it I’m saving to get me one can’t thanks again. May God continue to bless you and your ministry 💕🙏🏽💜🙏🏽

Seek Jesus FIRST! Ask Jesus which Bible He wants you to read. I asked Jesus and He brought me the very bible He wanted me to Read..then He Helped me Read it..so I would know what was Truth. He brought me a bible called.."The Living Bible". Which is a paraphrase by Jewish scholars who know the language and are familiar with the culture. I read KJV for the NT because of the poetic..ness. But the Living bible gives better understanding.

I'm reading 3 translation amplified bible, king james version and NLT. Amplified Version is easy to understand.

I've been a Christian for decades and I did not understand all of this, so thank you so much for clearing it up! I have an NLT which I really love but it's falling apart (even after being duct taped together for a few years) so I need to get a new Bible LOL

I have been commanding my day with the Word to release a new bible for me to have as my very own, and God has blessed me through someone else as a gift! And an extra cherry on top, told me to watch this video AGAIN (I watched awhile ago) to know which version to request & it’s the one I’ve been soaking in lately, NLT!! Thank you for being thorough and sensitive to the Holy Spirit. God’s got much more revival for you both! 😄

The NASB 1995 Life Application Bible is my favorite by far. The profiles, notes, charts, book summaries with themes, etc. is invaluable. I highly recommend it.

I'm a KJV man myself heard some things in other versions are changed in some ways I'll have to get exact verses to clarify but yeah that's just me

The Complete Jewish Bible (physical copy and online version) and the Tree of Life Version (online version) bibles are the two I use.

Wow I am not English native speaker but I have several versions of English Bibles (NIV, NLT, TNIV, NKJV...) and love reading Bible in English on Bible app (with hundreds of languages and versions). Thanks for such an informative video!!

This video came up in my video suggestions but I have a collection of study bibles from different translations. All of them will give you different insight (understanding) in the text. No matter which translation you use, it won’t be taken away the meaning and context. I love all bibles and translations. If you’re able too, get all of them. You will want to clear the table and lay them all out and read and compare and see the meaning of Gods word. Go to a book store and read a few pages and see which version gives you the most understanding. Take care and God bless brothers and sisters.

when i read the bible I use my own personal bible which is a New King James translation, but i'll also read the NLT version, via a bible app. Sometimes the NKJ wording can be confusing, so i find reading another translation helpful.

For what it's worth, my favourites are - "Young's Literal Translation" and the "World English Bible" Hope this helps. All the best!✨

I personally have many Bible translations and plan on getting some more. Yet the accurate translations I have found to be the best for English would be: 1. An interlinear Bible which has Hebrew, Greek and English all in one. Can't get much better than that. (Also can learn the gematria of Hebrew and Greek). 2. The Alpha and Omega Bible which put in the Aleph-Tav symmetry and the proper names for YHVH Elohim (Downside is the book is pricey averaging $100 dollars). 3. The King James Version (Absolute classic and reveals much of the mathematical English gematria you would find reading an interlinear Bible but in the English language). 4. The New King James Version (Near the same eloquence of the sounding of the King James Version but with a more modern/natural read for today). 5. The New American Standard Bible ( Very accurate English translation and as well much more accurate in terminology and wording to the original Hebrew and Greek). 6. HalleluYah Scriptures Bible (Fairly new and accurate and uses the proper names of YHVH Elohim and ditches the "Lord" and "God" words like #2 on the list, downside is that they hard to find).

I have found the most consistent and accurate to actual translation is the KJV

1:02 This!! Some people go hectic if someone isn't reading the bible their preferred version! I really enjoy NLT because it's easy for me to understand. Keeps everything so simple and clear!

Your video makes more easier for beginners like me that's trying to study God's word and trying to learn who God is and our Savior Jesus Christ. even though I've been reading God's word for about five years now sometimes I forget some things here and there. I'm not a smart person but when you put your mind to do things you can do anything you want but it takes practice. I have my grandma's Bible the Kings James versionI always had a hard time reading because when I was younger I was always in the special classes plus I was a premature baby. But the Bible that I have my grandma's is from 1954 the Kings James version and this version The Old English sometimes it's hard to understand. So I downloaded the Bible app on my phone because it makes him more easier for someone to read it for me and I understand it better. So I started to read The New American standard Bible version. and I wasn't paying attention to other Bible translations and when I found out it got so confusing for me and overwhelming. But when I started reading the NIV Bibleit's a little bit different than the New American standard Bible but not too much. But when you explaining in your video about The New American standard Bible is word for word. And the NIV Bible is thought for thought so it made more understanding for me. I have a confession to make whoever reads my message. Ever since when I was a kid I knew I was different when I started growing up I started to understand that I found out that I was attracted to men I never had any sexual intercourse with men just touching with our hands. But even though it is wrong in and our Lord . Even though I struggle with my sexuality everyday to try to figure out why I'm attracted to men before when I got abused and before I got sexual assault for those few seconds I knew I was different but I pray every night for God and Jesus to come into my dreams to give you a vision to help me out to make me understand why I'm this way. Because in my mind I still think it's sickfor a man and man to be in a relationship or a woman to woman to be in a relationship. The Bible said man and woman has one joined together. Even thoughif somehow I don't get no answers in my dream for God and Jesus to help me I still need to keep my faith no matter what and one day when I go to heaven Jesus and God can answer my questions. Maybe it was how I was raised living in apartments and to get outside I had to walk down the stairs go past my neighbor's hallway just to get outside. But my neighbor's I remember they were a gay couple and maybe in my mind I thought that was okay. and my aunt is gay she is lesbian she's not my aunt by blood but my brother and sister that is their aunt. We can't give up on prayers no matter whatno matter how long we've been praying for we can't give up on praying we can't give up on seizing our prayers. Because it's on holy for a manto get in a relationship with a man and it's unholy for a woman to get in a relationship with a woman. My old self is passed away and God and Jesus gave me a New path. My sins are cleanse by Jesus blood and I am forgiven by God through Jesus Christ our Savior. I will pray every day for God and Jesus the guy me to be holy as possible to keep on changing me to give me strength in different ways. and another thing I'm struggling with is chronic lyme disease and its missed understood by the medical community. And I have to struggle with my mental and physical but when I pray I asked God and Jesus to let my mental and physical let it be in balance with your holy Spirit in your holy word. We need to put God in Jesus first. Every time I get back home from the clinic I go to before I eat or before I watch TV or wash my favorite movie or if I play a game on my phone. I will go into my and I will talk to God and Jesus a what ever is on my mind and then I will go into my phone on the Bible app and choose a Pacific chapter and verse in the Bible. Whoever reads this this message can you please pray for me. Because it says in the Bible no murderers no homosexuals no fiefs no swindlers no liars no adulterers and others won't enter the kingdom of heaven. People need to repent of all the sins if they're doing them. To mean it from their heart and their souls the turn away from them and trust in God and our Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for reading my message I really appreciate. Nicholas Otis

I love these videos! Incredibly helpful! I watch almost daily! 💓

The ABC, that one got me! hahaha :-D thanks for uploading

Robert M your right. Not only are there words left out there are chapters and verse. I stick to the KJV.

Awesome! Guys,keep up the solid ministry! Love it.

I wish there was an equivalent video for Korean Bible versions.... though we don't have that many but about 5~6 versions in total :) I am watching this video several times so I memorize the categories... sorry for many comments 😉😝

I personally use NIV and NCSB. I also have New Living Translation at my family home but it is far too bulky and heavy for regular use. I also have an 1853 King James Bible. It is a replica of the Bible used to inaugural Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. This bible in particular is very important to me as Lincoln has always been a personal hero of mine, Obama was the first President I watched get inaugurated and Donald Trump was the first President I ever voted for.

I read daily New king James. But when I want to just feel really in the moment with the Lord I read KJV nothing quite captures the Bible like that

Love the insight!!!

Word for word, thought for thought or paraphrase! That makes so much sense after doing lots of translation from Korean to English. I thought paraphrase was best translation work (considering even culture and language expression) but to study deeply, word for word and what's even better if you know and read it in old Hebrew or Greek I guess! Hehe

God bless you and your family !!!

Most of the translations they recommended are good ones. I personally use the ESV and the NASB. As someone who has dived into textual criticism quite a bit I would not recommend The Passion Translation (a translation by one man claiming to receive personal revelation from God when translating) or an upcoming new version called the Mirror Bible (which is a man-centered version that elevates man to the level of Christ and teaches that we are all messiahs among many other things). If you want a detailed explanation of these two, Pastor Mike Winger on RU-vid spends over an hour on both breaking each one down and why they are not good for the believer truly seeking after God.

Thank youuuu ❤🙏

am I the only one who can't hear the girl talking?

Thx so much for this video it really helped 😇

Great teaching, thanks for sharing...

I love the NRSV and CSB bible. NKJV is really good too!

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that RU-vid has a rule that you're not allowed to put tags in the video description. If they happen to catch you making that mistake they will likely give your channel a guidelines strike (a rather unpleasant thing in my experience). I'm sure you only put tags in there thinking you were helping the search engines and I wouldn't want you to get dinged for it. Have a great day!

Justin Martyr (AD 100-165) (Dialogue with Trypho, 71-73) and St. Irenaeus of Lyons (AD 130-210) (Against Heresies, 3.21.1) wrote that the scribes deliberately removed, altered or distorted the Messianic verses in their Scripture; (but that’s only part of what all they did to the Hebrew Scripture.)

jesus said in john " the father is the only true god "

Great video thanks for sharing! Much love~

I use the king james version the most now.

I'm a CSB guy 😊

To get to know the original words of the scripture and their meaning i use the MyBible app and also dukhrana.com/peshitta/index.php (here u can not only find peshitta but also the greek texts). Be blessed!

Doctrines are effected by modern translations. Also you ought to mention the fact that the KJB and the new versions are translated form separate text families.

Call me old fashioned but KJV for me

Currently I have been using the kjv everyday. One that stays in my bag that can get beat up and I keep a nice leather one at home also. I use the MacArthur nasb study Bible at home to get more in depth of what word and god is saying. If I get confused with the kjv I make a note on paper and then go home and study that verse or that chapter.

New scriber here guys loving the video.

Which Bible you recommend for the people are learning English to secund language?

This was so helpful!Thanks so much and God bless y'all!!!😁

I’m Jewish so my primary is the JPS-Hebrew-English Tanakh. That way I have access to the original language of the Jewish Bible to consult and check for myself. Every translation is going to be wrong somewhere because it’s not possible to fully convey the entire meaning from one language into another one. What I really love about my JPS Tanakh is the translation committee always told you in a footnote when they were not entirely sure what the original Hebrew meant.

Love this

I love KJV and I also second the NIV

What about the NIV?

The best translation is the one I read every day. :-)

I love KJV and NLT and NKJV! I believe that all the translations say the same thing in different ways.

I’m reading the catholic bible and I’m enjoying it very much it’s pretty difficult though

which bible does roman catholic use please need ANSWER

great job❤🙏🏼

I guess I'm radical (at least compared to the other commenters here) with my personal fave being the RSV. 😱

I like King James for for reference and mainly NIV and ESV

Thank you both again for another great video and ministry.. Sorry missed y'all live last night.. Got issues trying to work through right now.. I do enjoy your channel.. Gotta get myself back closer to God about now and aways. Thanks again and y'all have a Blessed Awesome Day .. Greg....I meant ALWAYS close to God.. Phone screen destroyed...does what it wants..

Ninety percent the New Testament’s approximately 250 direct quotations of Old Testament verses agree with the Septuagint but the majority disagree with the Masoretic Text.

I have both the KJV, NKJV, and RVR-1960.

Hi Mel and Mr. Ronnie, I am new to the Christian world but I really want to know and understand the history of the Holy Bible and I also want to understand more about God/Jesus and Yes for this to happen I have to study. I almost forgot, English is not my first language so I need an easy Bible to read and understand. "please, Please don't recommend me a Bible for accommodate my language . I insist on sacrifice to discover the truth can you please help me? at this moment I have the bible ( new international version ) not quite sure but I just found out that this type one is catholic and not Christian and that matters to me. Could you please help me ???? Thank you in advance and please continue with the gift of helping others.

I want a version of the Bible for people who doesn't speak English as first language, like me.

The Good News Bible

I go to a KJV Only church but I use the ESV mostly. I’ll use KJV if everyone else in a group uses it. No big deal to me.

Why is the NIV not on your top list?

The fact that there are some bibles that aren't recommended is wrong to me.

Esv study bible is good choice

WHY THE KING JAMES BIBLE IS SO BELOVED BY FUNDAMENTALISTS THOUGH IT'S SO INACCURATE Neo Evangelicals (what we used to call Fundamentalists) keep insisting there is such a thing as "The Bible," which they call "The Word of God." They would have everyone believe it was dictated by God to men who simply wrote down God's words, flawlessly. They also say every single word in what they present to their converts as a single volume book, written 411 years ago in what-is-now-antiquated-and-very-difficult-for-most-people-to-understand English, was divinely inspired. If they could, they'd leave it right there, and because most people in their churches never bother once to question any further, they assume what they were told to believe is true. So, when these people hear or read a different bible that has "changes" in it or which "leaves things out," it's understandably confusing. It's often only at this time they are finally told the Bible was not actually written in Old English, but was translated from the ancient languages of Greece and the Hebrew spoken by the ancient, Jewish people. Should they begin asking questions, the leaders of these relatively new believers resort to several fall back positions to keep their flocks believing there is still only one, perfect English bible--the King James Version. One of their tricks is to say, "Oh, but the Greek and Hebrew texts used by the King James translators are the only true bible, the Textus Receptus." Sounds pretty inspired, right? After all, if it's in Latin, that's gotta be divinely inspired, yeah? Sorry, but the term "textus receptus" is just a line found in the introduction to a printed edition of the Greek New Testament in the late 1500s by a printer who wanted to sell his books so, naturally, he made it sound like his edition was error free by simply saying it was! But it wasn't! There were several printed editions of the New Testament, for example, that came out since the first one by a guy named Erasmus about the same time Luther began the Protestant Reformation in 1517. His first edition was rather sloppily done, since he was in a hurry to get it done before another printed edition (known as the Polyglot) came out first. But none of the printed Greek New Testaments of the 16th and early 17th Centuries were all that great, since they relied on hand-written Greek texts which had to be borrowed from universities who were rather stingy with what they had, and what they had, for the most part, dated after the end of the first millennium! Here's the thing to understand--all the books we think of as "The" Bible, are a collection of books that varied from one religious body to another--Catholic, Orthodox, Old Protestant, Later Protestant and so on--but NONE of those books are still around! Every single bible "book", all written in ancient languages that are now all dead, were lost to the ravages of history! All we have today are copies of them, that is, copies of copies of copies! It's true that there are 1000s of these copies, but MANY of them are just little scraps of "paper," written on papyrus or, sometimes, vellum and occasionally on some pottery. Sadly, we don't even have any complete versions of the oldest copies of the Bible until we get to 2 and 3 centuries after the originals were all lost! And these 1000s of texts are DIFFERENT! Over all those centuries, the copyists made a lot of mistakes or decided to add things or take some things out. Some had really bad handwriting. Some were copied from an earlier copy that had all sorts of notes scribbled on the side (like some people do with their bibles today) but the copyists didn't think it mattered which parts they was copying, so they just included them in the main body of the text of new copy (the fancy name for this is an "interpolation")! And then there was the problem of not hearing properly what was said as one guy was reading aloud from an earlier copy, and the listening copyist got the word wrong, or lost his place (This was the ancient version of a copy machine, in what was called a "scriptorium," that made it slightly less expensive to make copies of any particular document, since they ALL had to be done BY HAND!) So, what to do, if you REALLY want to know what the Bible originally said? Well, you can just believe whatever it is your preacher or teacher tells you which printed book IS THE Bible, and just ignore the fact that he was specifically trained to uphold the MAN-MADE DOCTRINES his church denomination or sect or mega-church, wants you to believe...or you can rely on REAL SCHOLARS who from REAL UNIVERSITIES who don't really care about doctrinal implications and, consequently, are going to give you the best translations from the best (oldest and most reliable) copies archeologists have discovered. They way they do this is the same way real scholars, like detectives, take all copies of ancient documents--from the Iliad and Odyssey to Beowulf--applying the disciplines of the Textual and Contextual Criticism, to sort out as many of the errors as possible in order to arrive at what was most likely in the original writings (autographs). After this, it falls to unprejudiced, biblical and historical scholars to make sense of what the original bible texts said. Trouble is, almost all Neo Evangelical preachers and teachers are not interested in finding out what the bible originally said, much less, what the writers of those original documents intended their words to mean, and even far less, what all of their original words and intentions, put together, mean for us today! Instead, they're goal is to ensure they get more converts to believe what they're told to believe, and to do what they're told to do, very often, just to serve the interests of their very wealthy and powerful political allies. This is why anyone who really wants to know what the original Bible had to say should avoid translations (like the NASB) or faux translations (like the Living Bible), issued by "Christian" publishing houses. These heavily skewed versions of the bible are specifically designed to promote certain man-made doctrines...and to make no small amount of money in the process!

I assume that kjv is also word for word?

There is a BIG difference of modern age new bibles compared to king james!! YOU NEED TO PULL UP GAIL RIPLINGER AND LISTEN TO HER BREAKING IT ALL DOWN. The modern new age bibles attack the deity of Jesus and its very sneaky! You can also pull up Robert Breaker on here and he does some sermons on this.God bless y'all!! :)

Justin Martyr (First Apology Ch. 15) quoted Matthew 5:44 like it is in the King James Bible whereas new versions lack 13 important words of the Lord’s instruction. The NKJV has corrected many of the KJV’s mistakes and is nearly as good literal-wise.) The EOB: The Eastern Greek Orthodox New Testament (6”x9”) not quite as literal as (N)KJV but easy to read and a truer text-type; hardcover is available from LuLu but paper may not be as good as the paperback available elsewhere; the (4x6) leather bound Book has too small of print and lacks the Chapter prefaces.

Here is a short video on Bible version comparisons; this will help you decide which versions is best suited for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4dA98WKw5DE.html

What is wrong with the NIV Bible lots of people are talking trash about it

Yet some bibles completely excluded whole versus such as the NIV. They aren't translations for some bibles, they are different versions.

The Dead Sea scrolls and the Samaritan Pentateuch agree more with the Septuagint than they do with the Masoretic Text.

Hahaha “the NLVay”

You don’t recommend the KJV for beginners? I am in between the NLT - Inspire Bible or the KJV - My Promise. I prefer the My promise design but worried the translation would be to hard since I am trying to read the whole bible. And this is sort of my first bible I purchase.

Okay question original king James says thou shalt not kill knew king James says you shall not commit murder and other versions I believe say that as well. Original king James in Matthew 19:18 Jesus is talking to a young man who wants to know how to inherit eternal life and Jesus tells him keep the commandments. The young man ask which ones. Jesus says thou shalt do no murder OK I will stop there so which one is it is it doubt she’ll do you know murder or thou shall not kill?

Love you sir n maidam

Read King James version. Expositors edition is easy and acurate.

The Message for me

Mines is the niv ryrie study bible niv and Jeremiah study bible niv main bibles and translation also nlt and nkjv

Enjoying this video but why does he sound like he is miles away and crackling? It's not just me right?

I read the MEV it's exactly like KJV but modernized in our today language. But still have the original KJV.

Translations I’m currently using: 1. RSV - Second Catholic edition 2. Douay Rheims 3. NKJV My first translation/bible was the NIV, but I rarely use the NIV anymore. I mainly use the RSV and I also have a interlinear bible of the RSV with the Greek. I have the Douay Rheims translation with the Latin vulgate.

Most Christians are definitely going to be best served by the CSB or NIV.

But what about catholic bible?? Are they the same?? The apocrypha thing?

The Gospel of the Bible is tha Jesus is the Christ

how is it a “translation” when there is a different number of books in each version?!

ESV

KJV for me.

"ABC" lol!

Thanks for the info, but the audio is a bit off.

Why couldn't i hear her speak?

I dont want any scriptures missing
