The King James Version is Undoubtedly the Most Inaccurate English

New Testament in Common Use Today...Below there are 64 scriptures

that Colwell uses to determine accuracy in a (NT) New Testament. The message being:

The King James stands at the bottom of the list also in regard to three spurious passages selected as tests

                               The Best Dual Literal/Free Translation is

The 21st Century NT Bible has 64 points due to its being a Dual Literal/Free Translation.

Not Online open-goldenagebooks.co.uk/productID=28.

Dual--Where one side (usually the Free side) had the weaker reading, it was usually corrected by the truer reading on the literal side. At the same time, each side held alone would have done remarkably well, especially the literal side. I think it is incumbent on any Free/Dynamic Equivalent/Paraphrased Bible to include a literal text, if nothing else, than for ease of mind and conscience. (See BibleTranslationsTypes.htm for How Translators Work)

Colwell chose Goodspeed version as his top New Testament, but I disagree. While taking him at his word for the most part, I cannot agree when it comes to the reading at John 1:18. Colwell's true reading of this verse has "the only begotten God," a faithful rendering of MONOGENHS QEOS-See. FirstBorn.htm Goodspeed actually has "divine Only Son," a weaker reading as it seeks to combine the reading of both the Textus Receptus (TR) and the Westcott and Hort (WH) text. I left it at the top out of respect for Colwell, but it really deserves a reading of 63, placing the New World Translation as the best stand alone version of the New Testament in English.
*Is your Bible faithful to the best manuscripts available? If not, then why not? What is the motivation behind choosing a weaker reading?*
Why is the TR (Textus Receptus/Received Text) weaker. According to Colwell, "
No scholar today employs this text for any scholarly purpose except as he may use it in writing the history of the Greek New Testament.

Colwell's apparatus was taken from the Book, "What is the Best New Testament" by E.C. Colwell, University of Chicage Press

1 Cor 14-25- “The secrets of his heart are revealed, and then, throwing himself on his face, he will worship God, and declare ‘God is indeed among you!’” (1Co 14:25 twenty)

 

Col 2-18- “Do not let any one defraud you of the reality by affecting delight in so-called ‘humility’ and angel-worship. Such a man busies himself with his visions, and without reason is rendered conceited by his merely human intellect.” (Col 2:18 twenty)
