The following will reveal the difference as to which Bible is nearest the "original" that would lead us to the clear identity of the maker or TESTAOR of the "Testament of Salvation." This is the requirement for the fulfillment of the "Testament of Salvation" as revealed to Paul, for the shedding of blood of the Testator:
Hebrews 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
NIV (New International Version)
1 Timoth 3:16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit....
ESV (English Standard Version)
1 Timothy 3:16 Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh,
vindicated by the Spirit...
KJV (King James Version or Authorized Version of 1611)
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit...
(In the NIV and ESV, the "testator" or the "entity" that needed to die (fulfillment of the testament) is vaguely written. In the KJV of 1611, it is definitely written to be God.)
Apostle John confirmed what Paul wrote as regards the "death of the TESTATOR."
ESV (English Standard Version)
1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us...
ESV (English Standard Version)
1 John 3:16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us...
KJV (King James Version or Authorized Version of 1611)
John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us...
It appears as far as the "entity" making the "Testament of Salvation" is concerned, the KJV of 1611 specifies clearer that it was GOD, or the "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob," to whom this testament or covenant of salvation orginated. It is written in Old Testament books that it was the FATHER who made the "Testament of Salvation."
As to HOW the maker or Testator of the "Testament of Salvtion" fulfilled it, that is clearly pointed out that "God manifested Himself in the flesh" in the person of JESUS CHRIST. From this, we are guided to make the right conclusion on the matter
