I will receive any comments on errors or points of difficulty gratefully. Many people have questions about which Bible they should use. Translations are made for different audiences and with different goals. Some are designed for easy reading, using limited vocabulary and shorter sentences. Others aim for literary beauty.
Paraphrases are the freest form of translation.
They change the wording considerably from that of the original languages in order to make the material easier for the modern reader to understand. They will usually convert weights and measures and explain difficult terms. The KJV was translated using the best manuscripts and scholarship available in its time. Beware of words which have changed meaning and constructions which are difficult to understand. Each translation serves a purpose.
