Q: Preacher, what Bible Translation is better to study? A: Since very few of us Christians have the old Hebrew & Greek tongues to be able to read the original text, we are going to have to read & study the translations. Probably, the most popular in the World (and found by many GOD best inspired) is King James Version. I use it myself. Nonetheless, from time to time, when I encounter some passage hard to comprehend, my PDF library is always within the reach to read other Versions. I always start from the oldest: John Wycliffe (1382,) William Tyndale (1530,) Miles Coverdale (1535,) John [Thomas Matthew] Rogers (1537,) and so forth. Why? Just honoring the Martyrs of GOD. (They, by the Will of GOD, had never been familiar with such things as honorarium, royalties, copyright, &c., knowing well what’s the Holy Inquisition instead.) Hard to read? Come on, the Holy Ghost helps out a lot to pull you & me through. Every Bible Translation – old, new, printed, electronic, &c. – has its advantage. Whatever Version you might choose, have some other Versions also. Among those others get Robert Young's Literal Translation (1890) and Amplified Bible (1954). Try to find good Expanded Bible. You may visit www.biblegateway.com to “bookmark” some Editions. So, I made that site opened on Expanded Bible first. The best electronic Version I’ve found (for Windows OS) is e-Sword – the Sword of the LORD with an electronic edge, www.e-sword.net (as per January 2019). In (prior GPS) sea-navigation, to find our ship's position on the chart, we used to plot so-called position lines, say, several bearings and/or distances to some charted objects. Those position lines crossed on the chart around our ship's position at the moment of observation and the more position lines the more accurate fix we got. Studying different Bible Versions we also plot our position lines around the Right Word of True Knowledge. Reading Roland H. Bainton, "Here I Stand, A Life Of Martin Luther", one can find this interesting passage: He did not attempt any minor harmonization of discrepancies, because trivial errors gave him no concern. If on occasion he could speak of every iota of Holy Writ as Sacred, at other times he displayed blithe indifference to minor blemishes, such as an error in quotation from the Old Testament in the New Testament. The Bible for him was not strictly identical with the Word of GOD. GOD's Word is the Work of Redemption in Christ which became concrete in Scripture as GOD in Christ became incarnate in the flesh; and as Christ by the incarnation was not denuded of human characteristics, so the Scripture as the Medium of the Word was not divested of human limitations. (p.331) Even so, study your Chief Handbook – Holy Bible – hearing to the only Teacher thereof – Holy Spirit – to have your spirit saturated with the Word of GOD.
