1 Introduction: CHOOSING A STUDY BIBLE 2 Timothy 3:16,17 1.! The Scriptures were originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.! a.! Since few are proficient in these languages, we must rely on!! translations into English.! b.! If all translations were the same, why would new ones be produced? 2.! There are hundreds of English translations from which to choose.! a.! One estimate says there may be 1,000 English translations.! b.! New translations continue to come out regularly. 3.! There are two extremes which must be avoided:! a.! Some will not accept anything but the KJV of 1611 and are not aware!! that it has had five major revisions.! b.! Some will accept any book that has Bible on the cover. Discussion: I.! A GOOD STUDY BIBLE SHOULD HAVE FOUR CHARACTERISTICS.! A.! It must be accurate!!! 1.! We are dealing with the inspired Word of Almighty God.!! 2.! We must have a safe guide to Heaven.! B.! It must be readable!!! 1.! It needs to be in language the average person understands.!! 2.! We must be able to easily teach others the Gospel from it.! C.! It must be acceptable!!! 1.! One man translations such as Philips do not qualify.!! 2.! Paraphrases such as the Living Bible do not qualify.!! 3.! One church translations such as the Watchtower Bible do not!!! qualify.! D.! It must be available!!! 1.! Some translations have a very limited circulation.!! 2.! The American Standard Version of 1901 is nearly dead.!
2 II.! A GOOD STUDY BIBLE SHOULD MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA.! A.! It must be translated by a committee of scholars representing a wide!! variety of religious backgrounds.!! 1.! This provides checks and balances.!! 2.! One man translations are often weak or one-sided.! B.! One needs to know who the translators are.!! 1.! Are they qualified by education to be competent translators?!! 2.! The Watchtower Society refuses to release the names of those!!! who made the New World Translation.!! 3.! The Lockman Foundation originally refused to tell the names!!! of the translators of the New American Standard Bible.! C.! One needs to know the views of the translators toward inspiration.!! 1.! The Bible claims verbal (word) inspiration (2 Sam. 23:2; Jer.!!! 1:9; Matt. 10:19; 1 Cor. 2:11-13; 1 Thess. 2:13).!! 2.! Many translations today seek for thought rather than word!!! translation.!! 3.! The translators of the KJV, ASV, NKJV and NASB affirmed their!!! belief in verbal inspiration.!! 4.! The translators of the Revised Standard Version and the New!!! English Bible were not believers in verbal inspiration.! D.! One needs to know the translation philosophy behind the translation.!! 1.! Formal Equivalence strives as much as possible to have an!!! exact, literal translation.!! 2.! Dynamic Equivalence strives to give the meaning in todayʼs!!! language even if the translation is not literally exact (The NIV!!! translators have admitted they strove for more than a word!!! for word translation ).! E.! One needs to know the Greek text used in the translation.!! 1.! There are 5,000 Greek manuscripts, scores of early versions,!!! and numerous quotations in early Christian writings.!! 2.! The Westcott-Hort text relies heavily on three ancient!!! manuscripts: The Alexandrian, the Vaticanus, and the!!! Siniaticus.!! 3.! The United Bible Society and Nestle texts follow the!!! Westcott-Hort tradition.!
3 !!! a.! Most recent versions are from these texts.!!! b.! Several verses are left out or put in footnotes.!!!! 4.! The New International Version claims to follow an!!! eclectic (pick and choose) text.!! 5.! The Majority Text follow the majority of the manuscripts,!!! ancient versions and quotations from early Christian writings.!!! a.! I believe this is the safest, most sensible approach.!!! b.! The NKJV is based on the Majority Text. III.! LETʼS APPLY THESE PRINCIPLES TO SOME POPULAR TRANSLATIONS.! A.! The King James Version for 350 years was the Bible in English.!! 1.! it is the best known and best loved book in English history.!! 2.! it has shaped our language, literature, and thought patterns.!! 3.! It has gone through five major revisions.!! 4.! It is falling out of use today for the younger generation neither!!! appreciates or understands its archaic phrases and grammar.! B.! The New King James Version is rapidly growing in popularity among!! conservative Bible believers.!! 1.! It is essentially a revision of the old King James Version.!! 2.! A committee of 119 scholars, including members of the Lordʼs!!! church, produced the NT in 1979 and the OT in 1980.!! 3.! In the New King James Version, you have a Bible that is!!! totally accurate and faithful to the original, beloved King!!! James Version. Not one verse is left out. Nothing is omitted.!!! The only difference is that the language has been revised and!!! updated to reflect changes in English usage over the past 200!!! years (About Your New King James, p. 1).! C.! The Revised Standard Bible is the Bible of the liberal Protestant!! community.!! 1.! H. Leo Boles was invited to be part of an advisory committee;!!! but resigned when he saw their liberal bias.!! 2.! The NT came out in 1946; the OT in 1952.!! 3.! It has been revised in recent years to accommodate feminists.!! 4.! The RSV is known for its effort to deny the divinity of Christ.!!! a.! The virgin birth of Christ is weakened by translating!!!! virgin as young woman in Isa. 7:14 (cf Matt. 1:23).
4 !!! b.! Jesus is said to be the only Son of God rather than the!!!! only begotten Son (Jn. 1:14, 18; 3:16; 1 Jn. 4:9).!! 5.! The English Standard Version is a conservative effort to save!!! the dying RSV.! D.! The New International Version is the best selling translation today.!! 1.! The NT came out in 1973 and the entire Bible in 1978.!! 2.! It has recently been revised to accommodate feminists.!! 3.! It blatantly inserts Calvinism into the text (Ps. 51:5; Rom. 7:26;!!! 8:3,4,5,8,9,12,13).!! 4.! Monogenes is translated as one and only rather than only!!! begotten.!! 5.! In my opinion, it is the most dangerous version on the market!!! because of its denominational bias and huge popularity!! E.! The New American Standard NT came out in 1963 and the OT in 1967.!! 1.! It was published by the Lockman Foundation which has not!!! revealed the identity of the translators.!! 2.! It does an excellent job of translating the Greek tenses in the!!! NT and is the only major translation that shows the force of!!! the Greek in Matt. 16:19.!! 3.! Like the RSV and NIV, it creates a contradiction between Jesus!!! and Paul:!!! Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets;!!! I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill (Matt. 5:17).!!! By abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of!!! commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He!!! might make the two into one new man, thus establishing!!! peace (Eph. 2:15). Conclusion: 1.! Avoid the RSV and NIV, all paraphrases and one man translations as your! main study Bible. 2.! Older folks are safe with their KJVʼs; the NASB is!good with some! reservations, but the NKJV is best all around. 3.! It is good to have several versions for comparing passages. 4.! The best translation is one that is translated into life (Luke 6:46; Matt.! 7:24-27; James 1:22-25). 5.! One must obey the plan of salvation in the Bible to be saved (Mark 16:16).
