As far as the reading level...I wouldn't agree with the 5th grade level thing, not in practical purposes, anyway. In fact, the language style used in the translation of the bible has never been spoken in the history of this planet. It's a completely "made-up" style in an attempt to sound spiritual. Speaking of, I always crack up when someone prays in "King James English."
I didn't really read the examples you posted. I'm not in a good place right now to research it if I need to. However, as anyone else who is defending a position no matter what, if I try hard enough I can explain it away!

I prefer the formal equivalence over the dynamic equivalence. I think the dynamic sacrifices accuracy for the sake of readability. I don't want someone telling me what they think. I want to find out what I think, KWIM?
