What goes into a bible Translation?
The 5 bibles above are the best of the best translations. To get the word of God directly from His inspiration, an interpretation or translation has to be kept in context and put down in your language so you can understand what it all means and what God wants you to do with your life.
Some versions have been translated from the Hebrew, and Greek languages word for word and are the most accurate. Still, others are thoughts that are translated according to what the translator believes is the interpretation. These can be accurate but not thought of as exact as a word-for-word translation.
Scholars studied Hebrew (old testament) and Greek (new testament) for years to translate them into English and other languages. So the people who interpreted the Word Of God did it with hours of study and many long years to make it accurate.
Choosing A Bible Translation

One type is word-for-word, which is the most accurate. Another way is the paraphrasing of thoughts.

Why Should You Trust Me?
I am Laura, the founder of Inspiration For Life. Why should you trust me? After my experience with an abusive relationship, my insecurities were at an all-time high. I can relate to how you feel and what will help you learn to love yourself.
I have been where you are today. I spent many long anxious days thinking about what I had been through and if I would ever be OK. I used the word of God to keep me strong and help me heal. I saw miracles when he carried me through the dark days and the sleepless nights. I entrusted my children to his healing power. And I used his word to renew my mind with scripture that stood the test of time, The Bible.
Summary
The whole point of this bible and devotional review is not to convert you to Christianity. When the time is right, God will take care of that. But instead, to help you have new avenues to rewire your brain and wash your mind in the word of God.
Become positive and find purpose in your life. Overcoming abuse is a lifelong process that you will deal with daily. As time moves forward, the triggers of life will require you to handle new issues. With a continuous stream of God’s word and the word of his people, you have a way to heal.
Use The Word to move forward and wash your life in the love and grace of God.
