I don't know if any version has been translated from NIV.  It would be better to start with the original manuscripts.\n\nBiblegateway.com has two French versions.  Louis Segond, and La Bible du Semuer.

The KJV was meticulously translated.  By man.  And, no surprise, it isn't perfect.\nThere IS no perfect translation because, even if you have a Hebrew, Greek or Chaldean lexicon, you don't have the meaning of the words from 2,000 years ago.  Meanings change.  Take the word "gay" for example - means something VERY different today than it did 20 years ago.\nWithout taking the time to learn the original languages, then do have the lexicons as well as a Strongs (or other) Concordance.  Read the same passages in different versions for richer comprehension.  A passage read from the KJV, the NIV and The Message takes on new dimension.\nRead it - and read it sloooowly and patiently!  Read it reguarly.  And read it again and again.  What had no relevance (seemingly) last month can suddenly leap out at you today.

I don't like the French translation as they do not sing the song in France, but do in German.  Here is a middle German version of the traditional choral from Germany:\n\nWir wünschen Ihnen frohe Weihnachten! \nWir wünschen Ihnen frohe Weihnachten! \nWir wünschen Ihnen frohe Weihnachten! \nUnd ein glückliches neues Jahr! \n\nGute tidings, die wir Ihnen und Ihren Stämmen holen! \nWir wünschen Ihnen frohe Weihnachten! \nUnd ein glückliches neues Jahr!

I agree with you on this one. The Bible is God's perfect Word and it is 100% true. I use a version based on KJV called NIV and it lines up perfectly with the original scriptures.\n\nBTW Jesus fullfilled all of the prophecies in the Old Testiment. He is the Christ. Remember, the Old Testiment points toward a Christ and that is Jesus.

The Autographa, or the words God breathed into the men who were to write them down, is the best.\n\nUnfortunately, it does not exist, and we only have copies of copies which now comprise our bibles.  That's why pastors are trained in Greek/Hebrew, and why many churches say they accept God's Word, as inspired in the original languages, as their sole source of authority.  Even so, there is no other earthly book that has been so scrutinized.\n\nIn English, The King James Version (KJV), though it has some mistakes, has stood the test of time, and the New KJV may be easier to read.  As the saying goes: if it was good enough for the apostle Paul, it's good enough for me!  \n\nSome versions seem to sacrifice meaning for simplicity.  However, JB Philips compiled a helpful paraphrase of the New Testament, and there is a paraphrase of the ASV called The Living Bible.\n\nIf memory serves, the (N)RSV/ASV were made to incorporate Common Greek instead of Classical Greek.  The New American Standard Bible (NASB) gives perhaps the best word-for-word translation, while the New International Version (NIV) is easier to read and uses an idea-for-idea translation.  \n\nOne of the latest translations is the English Standard Version (ESV), which is a blend of the RSV and the NASB having better accuracy & improved idioms.  It seems popular in conservative circles.

the NIV was translated by many (including a homosexual woman) who chose to leave out things that would be offensive to their causes.  That's why many of us stick with the KJV, as it has been tried and true for centuries.

I like the NKJV.  It's easy to read, but close to the KJV, which by some standards is most accurate.

Bible translations vary according to readability and tightness of translation.  The more tight the translation the harder it is to read.  This is because there is not a perfect correspondence between languages.  If you are looking for a very readable Bible I'd recommend the GOOD NEWS.  This is available in both Catholic and non-Catholic editions.  The GOOD NEWS was intended to be read easily by those with a 6th grade vocabulary.  The translators did a very good job with it.  I use it often.  On the other end of the spectrum is the NEW OXFORD.  This is not available in a Catholic edition.  For Catholics the tightest translation is probably the NEW JERUSALEM.  The KING JAMES holds an interesting place in history and among Bible translations.  It was not translated with either readability or tightness in mind.  Rather it was translated as an orator's Bible.  It is meant to have a poetic quality, easy to hear and remember.  This is because at the time of it's translation many people were illiterate and few people could afford to own their own Bible.  Another interesting note on the KING JAMES.  It was commissioned by King James of England in part because other then available English translations were biased toward Catholics.  Ironically it is now the Bible of choice for evangelical Christians.

Peace be with you\n\nThe Holy Bible Douay-Rheims Version \n\nWith Challoner Revisions 1749-52\n1899 Edition of the John Murphy Company\n\nIMPRIMATUR: \nJames Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, September 1, 1899.\n\nPope Damasus assembled the first list of books of the Bible at the Roman Council in 382 A.D. He commissioned St. Jerome to translate the original Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin, which became known as the Latin Vulgate Bible and was declared by the Church to be the only authentic and official version, in 1546. \n\nThe DR New Testament was first published by the English College at Rheims in 1582 A.D. The DR Old Testament was first published by the English College at Douay in 1609 A.D. The first King James Version was not published until 1611. This online DRV contains all 73 books, including the seven Deutero-Canonical books (erroneously called Apocrypha by Protestants). These seven books were included in the 1611 KJV, but not in later KJV Bibles. \n\nThe whole Douay-Rheims Bible was revised and diligently compared with the Latin Vulgate by Bishop Richard Challoner in 1749-1752 A.D. The notes included in the text were written by Dr. Challoner. \n\nThe DR Bible was photographically reproduced from the 1899 edition of the John Murphy Company, Baltimore, Maryland, by Tan Books in 1971. Eventually, this edition was optically scanned to produce a large text file which this publisher used for creating this website, with the aid of text-processing software. \n\nOne important goal of this project was to preserve the original text "as is", without making any changes in the wording, because the original text had the Imprimatur of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, dated Sept 1st 1899. \n\nThe text file was checked quite thoroughly by software written by the publisher for punctuation errors and verses out of order. The index was humanly checked for misspelled words and the corrections were made to the text. However, some spelling errors may still be present in the text. Many verses were out of order in the original file. These have been corrected. \n\nEvery effort was made to ensure that this online version is an exact match to the original printed version. No words were added or ommitted from the text, except for correcting errors caused by the scanning process. No words were rearranged. No verse numbers were changed, except in the case of Psalm 9. \n\nPsalm 9 originally contained 21 verses and there were 2 versions of Psalm 10, numbering 1-18 and 1-8. This obviously caused a conflict, so it was decided to make the first Psalm 10 as the last part of Psalm 9 and renumber the verses 22-39. This retains the same numbering as all the Douay Rheims. Note, in the Protestant Bibles the numbering of Psalms 10 through 146 differs by one.

Yes, I have compaired the NIV to the JKV the New KJV and the modern english Translation the American Standard version and the New American Standard version. I find all these are very similar, some are easier to read of course, but I always stuck with the King James for memorizing and teaching. I also used the NIV or some other modern version for my straight through reading, but have read the KJV through many times, but not as much as I used the other versions. \n\nI did notice some words were changed to make it appear to say something else, but when you read everything in context it is hard to take it out of context.  Especially when you looked at other passeges. \n\nI never liked or trusted the Schofield notes.\n\nI did buy one NIV study bible with notes and found it very desturbing because the scripture would be very plain, but the Scholars added their own intrepretation and even claimed that the Apostle or writer was wrong and did not understand their own scripture. \n\nPersonally, I feel it is better to use a bible without notes. That is just my opinion.

If you want a Coptic language edition you'd do best contacting the Coptic Church on line. If you just want the books that are in the Coptic Bible you can go to Barnes & Nobles and buy the following ... The Book of Enoch, the Book of Jubelees, and either a Catholic Bible or a copy of the original King James Version which also contained the Protestant Apocrapha. The reason that I say this is because the only real difference between the Coptic Bible and, say, the Roman Catholic version is the inclusion by the Coptic Church of the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubelees. And these aren't hard to find. The Book of Enoch is easy to find. The Book of Jubelees is a little harder because its usually published along with other texts as well. I've never seen a bound copy of it by itself before. One book that includes it is The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden. That's pretty easy to find. Good luck. ~ Peace & Blessings ~ P.S. I'm familiar with the organization in Arkansas refered to by the other person who answered your question. I'm sure they have a good library and all, but knowing them as I do (because I live not far from them) I wouldn't bother. They don't deal in what they would consider extra-biblical material.
