I makes a huge difference when STUDYING the Scripture. One may read a commentary or a paraphrase and get some insight, but it IS NOT the same as (1) reading the Scriptures themselves (2) studying the Scriptures in-depth (which you cannot do from a paraphrase, because you do not have an "original" translation). NEVER allow a paraphrase to come between you and the Word of God (many are inaccurate). Never substitute a commentary for the Word of God. [Linked Image]
