The Best Bible Translation
by Jonathan Cahn
Which Bible translation is the best? There's the King James
- a great old version that's very poetic, but it's not the best
translation. There's the New King James which keeps much
of the beauty, but in more modern English - but that's not
the best. There is the New American Standard that presents
a very literal, word for word translation - but that's not the
best either.
The best translation of the Bible is ... you. It's written in the
Epistles that you are our epistle - written on human hearts.
The best Bible translation is not written on paper, but on
hearts and lives. You are to be a walking, talking, living,
loving translation of the Bible. Everyone who meets you is
"reading the Bible" in your life. As much as you believe,
follow and walk in His Spirit, people will read the Gospel in
you, the Book of Acts in you, the Epistles in you.
So you don't need to know Hebrew or Greek to translate the
Bible. You just need to put the Word in your daily life and
it will be the best Bible translation possible. And wherever
you go, people will read it in your life.
Scripture
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known
and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from
Christ . . . written not with ink but with the Spirit of the
living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human
hearts. [2 Corinthians 3:2-3 NIV]
Prayer
Pray and ask God that the Holy Spirit would help you
become the best Bible translation available.
