Bought a New Bible
Most of my Bibles are hardcover NIV translation, I wanted to get a new softcover study Bible that is a different translation. I ended buying The NASB (New American Standard Bible, updated 1995) MacArthur Study Bible. The publisher of this Bible is Thomas Nelson. ISBN 9780718020767
Here is a sample of of different translations of John 3:16 - 17.
NASB (New American Standard Bible, updated 1995)
16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
NIV (New International Version)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
KJV (King James Version)
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
I like this new translation and study by Dr. John MacArthur and starting on Sep 1, I will start the daily bible reading plan to read it in one year.
