::Yes, '''Differences Between Bible Versions''' looks good to me (as long as ''you'' do it and mention the main points above, especially the last one!), and the NIV would provide some much-needed comparisons (or rather, contrasts)! You can take your examples directly from the admitted rant at [http://www.av1611.org/niv.html]. You'd need to be careful about coypright, though. I imagine the NIV is still in copyright, in which case you'd need permission for any extensive quoting. --[[User:Petrus|Petrus]] 06:03, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

:::Note, I TIMOTHY 3:16 in the original Greek does not say God.  There is a use of Kai (and) that ''might'' carry the God reference from I TIMOTHY 3:15, but that's debateable.  The key word is "estin" -- he is, he becomes.  (BTW, the Vulgate follows the same format as the Greek).  [[User:NousEpirrhytos|NousEpirrhytos]] 08:39, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

:::Note: in PHILIPPIANS 2:6 "consider" is in the Vulgate (arbitratus): the Greek has egesato, from agazomai, from agamai which can mean either admire or envy. [[User:NousEpirrhytos|NousEpirrhytos]] 08:53, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
    
:I would suggest also looking into ''The Five Books of Moses'', by Robert Alter, [http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780393019551&itm=1], as it shows the flaws in all well-known translations, not just the KJV, but the LXX and Vulgate as well.
