How many of you always get the newest revision/update of your translation then?

honestly, I haven't been paying attention. I read mostly NKJV. My Orthodox Study Bible I guess gets updated whenever a new Bible is released... But I wonder if the update is for the commentary or the translation or both🤔

When the new version comes out, say Nas from 195 to 2020, do you get that new update, or keep on using your older one?

Hello YeshuaFan;

You do write interesting topics to discuss. I'll share my thoughts in response to How many of you always get the newest revision/update of your translation then?

I can respect and commend anyone who keeps up with the latest revisions of a translation for various reasons. You folks are a good example in our forums to discuss the benefits of staying up with the latest, and which ones to avoid.

For 3 1/2 wonderful decades I've witnessed and shared the Gospel fluency to non-believers and nominal Christians without the latest updates of the translations. Does this mean I'm not effective in my witness? No. The translations I constantly use have been a familiarity, reliable source and comfort and have never thought about switching to updated translations.

Here's a confession. Most of the time the good people I share the gospel with have never read a Bible, have no idea that the Psalms is in the middle of the Book, that Genesis is not a former rock band and Revelation was not sung by the Beatles. Therefore, to them I'm the Christian disciple who studies the Bible and it's my responsibility to be truthful and not misleading of sharing God's Word.

God bless you, YeshuaFan, and thank you for this topic.

Bob

Commend you for your outreach, and I just find that many who were never raised in a church, nor read the bible just find to be able to understand with meaning the more modern versions
