Do you use the King James Version? This is the only Bible that is truly inspired of God, so it is a very deep concern of mine considering the scriptures quoted in your magazine. Please let me know.

Which translation do you use?


Answer:

We recognize and appreciate that some of our readers may prefer the classic English of the King James Bible of 1611. But we also believe that the New King James translation, an updated version of the King James Version with more modern language, is usually equally accurate and has the advantage of clear, reader-friendly wording. That is why we selected it as the standard translation for United Church of God publications.

Of course, we occasionally refer to other versions when they make the meaning of particular passages clearer. The fact that no Bible translation is as accurate as the original documents is explained in our free booklet How to Understand the Bible and our free reprint article Which Bible Translation Should I Use? Both are free for the asking from any of our offices.
