The red highlights show substantial deviation from the original
Greek.
Comparisons. The NASB, KJV and NKJV are very close to the actual wording of
the original Greek version of the book of Acts. This is typical
for these Bible translations. The other Bibles differ substantially.
The last one, God's Word, is the worst because it says the disciples
of each church selected the elders and that is not true. The Greek
does not say that. The NIV, The Secret Kingdom New Testament Bible,
and Living Bible add to the Word of God when they add the words,
"Paul and Barnabas." These words are not in the Greek. This example
is typical of these Bibles.
Conclusion: I recommend either the New King James Version or the New American
Standard for Bible study and reading. |
