Pilgrim said: BTW, the "Good News Bible" translation, is an oxymoron! It isn't a translation but a paraphrase. And, IMHO, it is one of the most flagrant in its total disregard for the original language. How anyone can hold to verbal plenary inspiration and come up with that piece of fiction is beyond me.
I stand corrected. Other than The Living Bible, the Good News Bible is the only one I know of that combines verses. Is there an actual literal translation that does that?
