*The translation of Acts 9:31, which explains the growth of early Christianity after the acceptance of Saul (Paul), says that the church was built up "with the consolation of the holy Spirit," when most other translations use the clearer term "encouraged" by the Holy Spirit.

+

*In Acts 2:11, which describes the [[Pentecost]], in which the [[Apostles]] spoke in away that enabled listeners having different tongues or languages to understand. The commonly understood term is "language", and the word "tongue" is now arcane. Yet many translations, including the New American Bible and the [[NIV]], still use "tongue" even where "language" would be clearer:

+

:"... both Jews and converts to Judaism, Cretans and Arabs, yet we hear them speaking in our own tongues of the mighty acts of God."

+

The [[New Jerusalem Bible]], the [[New Revised Standard Version]] nd the [[Holman Christian Bible]] all use the more modern term of "languages" in that verse rather than "tongues".
