I read the Septuagint. Get on my level

I unironically read the king James Bible last April.

it's got some pretty cool imagery, dragons and shit. real epic of classic literature. the stories are very arbitrary. Jesus is more of a recurrent anti-hero desu

So what come fucking AT me bro. I'll wait

>hebrew

These are the only acceptable languages for reading the Bible, everything else is protestant heresy

What if I'm an Australian Catholic who only speaks English because we're super lazy?
Am I screwed?

behold the kjv and it was good.

based Estonian crusader

Estonia is like the most atheist country in Europe

It's not relevant if it wan't written in the last 10 years

if it isn't fun to read why bother. I read for entertainment, not to flex my intellectual superiority on an image board full of strangers

Because NKJV is better.

>Anglo bible

Oxford annotated NRSV seems to be the ideal way to dig into the Bible. All the parts with multiple translations, play on words from other languages, and verses that appear in some manuscripts and not others are all there in the footnotes. The KJV prose is superior tho.

>learning French
>oh cool, I wonder what my fellow French Catholiques read
>Iines are all strange and somewhat incomprehensible

Maybe I’m still trash but this is weird.

>The NRSV by contrast adopted a policy of inclusiveness in gender language. According to Metzger, “The mandates from the Division specified that, in references to men and women, masculine-oriented language should be eliminated as far as this can be done without altering passages that reflect the historical situation of ancient patriarchal culture.

I'm French, I'm reading the Crampon Bible.

It's a more accurate translation you dip. Essentially when words were used that were genderless, older translations translated them to be masculine. This made it impossible to discern where the ancient texts made a point of using masculine words. Maybe take a week off of social media eh?

There’s only so many seconds left in my life. I’d rather not waste them

There is no such thing as a "genderless word" in Latin, Greek or Hebrew.

It's the same greek as NT.

Why are you blaming Catholics for Jewish discord tranny shills? Will you blame them for the BBC cuckposting next? Genuinely curious how you came to this conclusion. Also curious why you've received several posts applauding you.

ESV is miles ahead more accurate than NRSV and that if we judge NT alone - using critical texts.
ESV comes from conservative Evangelist circles - NRSV is a council, eclectic product of atheists, various denominations and so on.

Wtf are we talking about user?

NRSV is still more accurate than most bibles in the market - it's also using a richer vocabulary both OT and NT.

But claiming that's the most accurate considering there are so many options in the market miles better in terms of accuracy - wtf we're talking about?

Most of your mainstream translations have a >insert random prestigious college< study edition, it's a matter of fucking taking a translation and pasting some commentary - usually stuff from your theology department.
