14:40Now PlayingAuthorized Ch 5 • I love the King James Version—but it clearly doesn't use the same English we do. Does that matter?
Yes, it does: Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14, over and over in various ways: *edification requires intelligibility.* And Jesus said to teach people to observe everything he commanded, something that is rather tough to do if they can't read those things for themselves.
What does the Bible teach about Bible translation? It teaches that Bible translations should be made into the vernacular; their language should be as accessible as possible to the plow boy, the man on the street. This doesn't mean all difficulties should be removed, only all *unnecessary* difficulties—like those created by language change.
