    Comparre Sinaiticus of 4th century (Alexandrian type) with 10th century Alexandrian and Byzantine MSS & you'll soon see words have been added by scribes. Do this for a single NT passage. I agree somee early MSS are difficult to read. That's why we have photographers who specialise in reading...

    It has nothing to do with character of Tyndale. The worrying point for me is that 8080%of KJV The Message is not a dynamic equivalence translation but a paraphrase by 1 man. Check out differences. Oz

    You say NIV deleted words.. it's the othe way round. The KJV and Geneva Bibles ADDED words. I urge you not to use one person paraphrases. They are not translations, e.g living Bible, the Message, Passion, Phillips. Oz
