Why read these verses in this translation?

Translations differ in what they optimise for. Some follow the original wording closely at the cost of a natural English sentence; others read smoothly and make interpretive choices to get there. Neither is wrong, but they produce noticeably different verses.

Each of the 15 verses below is shown in the translation you asked for, and every verse links to a page comparing all six side by side — which is usually the fastest way to see where the translators disagreed.

How should I compare translations?

  1. Read the same verse twice: Take one verse in two translations before reading a chapter in either. The differences show up immediately at verse scale.
  2. Watch the connecting words: "Therefore", "but" and "for" are where translators most often diverge, and they change how an argument reads.
  3. Prefer clarity when sharing: For a card or a message to someone outside the church, a modern translation usually communicates better than a traditional one.
  4. Keep one for memory: Memorising in a single translation is worth more than sampling across several. Pick the one you find easiest to recall.
