in tniv:
13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven--the Son of Man.
1 Timothy 3:16
King James Version (KJV)
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1 Timothy 3:16 in tniv
16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:
He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
except for these brief negatives, i really like the tniv, i read in gordon fee's book that the tniv is better than the nkjv and the nrsv. i just bought two study bibles for my sisters a kjv and a tniv for each sister.
