You know all these differant opinons are nice and all but i believe that all translation are relivent. They have all been translated in way to reach a different people group or time. the same way the four gosels were written to reach different people. please do not disregrad on translation because you do not understand the language it was written in. I believe translation of God's Word are relivent. The NLT, NIV, NAS, NRS, KJV and even the Good News Bible. If reading the word translated in that allows some to be drawn by the Holy Spirit. Then more power to ya.
