Hi Paul,

To expand a little on what Joyce posted earlier we will often find some discrepencies between all the translations out there. Primarily I use the King James, Rotherham's, NIV, and New American Standard. Most often I use the King James to post here as that seems to be the common language most frequently used here at the Forum, besides as Ray says it is not a bad translation once you get past the "hell" and "eternal" stuff.

I can't tell you how many times I use multiple translations (in addition to Strong's) to sort out a troublesome or confusing verse, often the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Unfortunately I have yet to find a perfect translation and would probably not recognize it even if I did find it!  ;)
