When there are already so many English-language versions of the New Testament, is there really a need for still another one? I would strongly say, Yes, because I just don’t feel there is a truly first-rate translation of the Scriptures available in English today. That is why I produced the Standard Version. And so, in this episode, in order to illustrate the need for the SV, I give examples of two verses in the New Testament where I feel the Standard Version improves over other translations. This is the first in a series of episodes I plan to produce in the coming days along these lines, entitled “Why the Standard Version?” These will cover a good deal of additional verses where I feel other translations miss what is actually being said.May the Lord bless the Standard Version for His sake!
