Translations may be classified as either conservative or liberal depending on how they present these passages. The [[King James Version]] (1611), the [[New International Version]] (1978), and the [[English Standard Version]] (2001) use ''sensus plenior''. The [[Revised Standard Version]] (1952) and the [[New Revised Standard Version]] (1989) ignore New Testament interpretations and translate Hebrew text from a Jewish perspective.
