Revision as of 22:15, January 16, 2010
, 22:15, January 16, 2010→Luke 11:43
:::The broader point is this: we're not trying to translate the Bible so it sounds familiar to people who have already memorized, or frequently recite, an old translation. We're trying to translate the Bible so it renders the original intent as precisely as possible to ''any'' modern listener, and particularly a new one.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 15:29, 16 January 2010 (EST)

::::How about a slight modification to Andy's version: replace "Reckoning to you, Pharisees!" with "Your reckoning is coming, Pharisees!". This would also work well in the preceding passage (42). --[[User:ChrisY|ChrisY]] 17:15, 16 January 2010 (EST)
