What is the most accurate version of the bible?
Midnight B
I am looking at a NLT (Chicken Soup for the Soul bible. A gift from my mom) and a KJV that I bought today.
Is there a version of the bible that is very accurate? I know there will never be a 100% accurate bible, but is there one that is close?
Answer
It is important to know that the King James Version is an (Old) English Translation of the Latin Vulgate, which was a translation from the original Greek.
Any versions that use the original Greek as their source are going to be less prone to error than a translation of a translation. There are many examples of King James translations where the translators just got it wrong. Now, I happen to like the NIV - it was a collaborative effort of many scholars using the original (and/or oldest) Greek Manuscripts available and when these old manuscripts differ, the NIV tells you so. The only challenge with the NIV is that it adds a LOT of words. The intent is to make it easier to read, but the translators did take some license that, in some cases, it could be argued they shouldn't have.
If you want accurate, the Revised Standard Version (RSV) is good, it is just harder to read than the NIV and there aren't many differences otherwise.
I hope this helps!
