Which
Translation?

Christians are confused over the enormous

number of Bible translations. Bible
translations can be broadly classified as
word-for-word translation and thought-for-
thought translation. These two approaches
are otherwise called “formal equivalence” and
“dynamic equivalence.” Strictly speaking,
Bible translations cannot be neatly sorted into
these two categories. There’s always a
combination to varying degrees. The King
James Version (KJV) , New King James
Version (NKJV), English Standard Version
(ESV), New American Standard Bible (NASB)
and the like fall under the word-for-word
category. The Living Bible (LB), New Living
Translation (NLT), Contemporary English
Version (CEV) and the like belong to the
thought-for-thought category. The New
International Version (NIV) is somewhere in
between. See the Chart on page 11 for a comp-
arative understanding of various translations.
9 10
 The first type, namely the conservative

translation, is ideal for meditation and
memorization. Do include the other category
for in-depth study. Because I was an addict
to King James Version (KJV) for several years,
the maximum I could move out was to the
New King James Version (NKJV), which I use
both for private study and pulpit ministry.
To facilitate comparative study, there are
several Parallel Bibles which have two or three
translations of the text printed side by side.
These Bibles normally have one conservative
translation and the other from free
translations. Years ago I purchased the Bible
from 26 Translations, published by Baker
Book House (1967), and I’m greatly benefitted.
I wonder whether it’s in print now. Let me
illustrate the benefit of such a Bible with the
text from 2 Timothy 2:15 for the phrase,
“rightly dividing the Word of Truth”—

“ever cutting a straight path

for the message of the Truth”
“driving a straight furrow,
in your proclamation of the Truth”
“straightforward dealing with the Word”
“declaring the Word without distortion”
Isn’t it helpful?

Commentaries but I would like to present
here two time-tested Commentaries —
a) Matthew Henry’s Commentary
on the Whole Bible
Matthew Henry (1662-1714) was a
Presbyterian with Puritan emphasis. He
worked for 10 years, each day from 4 am.
He had finished upto the Acts of the Apostles
when God called him Home. His ministerial
friends completed the New Testament from
his notes and writings. His highly spirit-
ualised exposition was greatly acknowledged
by C.H. Spurgeon called the Prince of
Preachers. Matthew Henry’s Commentary is
available both as a 7-volume set and a single
volume of abridged or unabridged version.
25 26
b) Jamieson, Fausset & Brown’s
Commentary on the Whole Bible

in style, the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown’s is 7
