Something is not feeling right about the Bibles these days, On top of having limited space to store a big book in or around my room. Young's Literal Translation of the Bible ? ? ? It is expensive, Which is why I don't have it, And I don't want to just keep dropping money on modern day Bibles. I don't want to just keep dropping money on Bibles these days. So, Young's Literal Translation ? ? ? Does "Literal" Mean, Literal ? ? ?

The KJV is available for free from e-Sword, The Word and other Bible sites for free on the Internet. The KJV Bible is the first bible I read assisted by a Commentary when I became a Christian. I soon switched to the NASB (1977) and NIV (1984) with Commentaries based on these translations. Now I have a wealth of bibles and commentaries.

I saw a chart by Robert Martin comparing how closely the KJV followed the sentence structure in Ephesians 1 compared with the NIV and GNB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither KJV nor any of its revisions and corrections follow the structure of the Greek. Which version of the KJV are you talking about? You are discounting the OT which was written in a different language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what you're driving at. I don't know who Robert Martin is and don't particularly care. He supports your position. Why should I care when you disregard sources I provide?
