For a full translation it looks like the NIrV will be the lowest reading level.Nathan Stitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506272374727904953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-75180489341482538922008-05-13T06:32:00.000-07:002008-05-13T06:32:00.000-07:00That is too funny.That is too funny.David Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140007604009678479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-48692568431364460722008-05-13T03:37:00.000-07:002008-05-13T03:37:00.000-07:003.

Easy to misread, more like. I have visions of waiters appearing with fire-coloured tongues, or slices of tongue, and distributing them to apostles. And since things don't usually sit on people, the last part seems to suggest that someone unspecified sat on the tongues.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-16511952037083633462008-05-12T21:28:00.000-07:002008-05-12T21:28:00.000-07:00I'll have to use her as a guinea pig.

It has gained wide acceptance and is generally highly intelligible. CEV is kind of a "huh?" translation in the US. I catch quite a bit of heat for promoting it BTW.<BR/><BR/>I'm with you on electronic versions partly because I find it hard to focus on the Scriptures when there are blogs, Bible software and more all available on my computer.David Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140007604009678479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-87452225287293472942008-05-11T06:42:00.000-07:002008-05-11T06:42:00.000-07:00I have a GNB which I plan on using with my daughte...I have a GNB which I plan on using with my daughter when she is old enough to read it. However I've been considering the CEV (and I think the NCV?) as alternatives. I guess I should check them out a bit more. I'll give these other two translations some time, but I don't generally read digital Bibles for very long.Nathan Stitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506272374727904953noreply@blogger.com
