If You Could.

Just suppose someone gave you the financial backing and the resources to make a Bible Translation what changes would you make if any ?
If you could do things your way so to speak what words would you use differently and such ?

Re: If You Could.

First, I'd launch an archeological expedition to find the originals.

I would not make changes.
I use the money to print more KJV Bibles.
Good enough for me.

Re: If You Could.

Well I think I would finance a printed version of the World English Bible. I think it at one time had a New Testament printed version but never the whole thing.

It is the only Majority Text Bible Im aware of.

Re: If You Could.

I'd promote the NASB, or maybe the NKJV bible. It's my opinion that they're superior translations, but not without their own problems, as compared to the KJV bible.

I still think in KJV bible terms though. That was the go-to bible in my life for so long.

Re: If You Could.

The KJV and the NKJ both are within the Majority Text "family". To me they are good Bibles.

Now if one had NO Bible even the Living Bible would be a step in the right direction.
