The NIV completely omits the word '''ὑμῶν''' ''hymon'' "your, yours, your own" from its reading of Matthew 23:9, reading instead, "And do not call anyone on earth 'father'." The omission is not an accidental oversight, but was made for the purpose of providing [[polemic]] against Catholic doctrine. Just as the [[Saint Paul|Apostle Paul]] was father of the Corinthians through his preaching of the Gospel ([http://biblehub.com/multi/1_corinthians/4-15.htm 1 Corinthians 4:15]), so Catholics and Orthodox also for the same reason address their priests as "Father", but in fact never address them as "my Father". This verse in the Greek New Testament was altered by the translators of the NIV to be used as a "[[Cafeteria Christianity#Proof texts|proof text]]" against the Catholic Church. No other reason can explain the clear omission of a word that exists in every extant manuscript of Matthew 23:9. Some other versions have also done the same (NIV, NLV Living Bible, ISV, Aramaic English). Compare the [http://biblehub.com/multi/matthew/23-9.htm multiple versions of Matthew 23:9]. The versions that read "'''your''' father" are ESV, NASB, KJB/KJV, HCSB, NET, GOD'S WORD, Jubilee 2000, King James 2000, AKJV, ASV, Douay-Rheims, Darby, ERV, WBT, WNT, WEB, YLT.

An example of an effective use of dynamic equivalence, which is too much for most modern translations of the Bible, is the [[Living Bible]]'s translation of Proverbs 16:27:
