There are well over 50 translations of the Bible into English made during the last century.
\nI recently read the following in a review of a particular translation (adapted in an attempt to avoid embarrassing the author):<\/p>\n

\n

When I want to decide if I like a translation of the Bible, I look at [mentions three specific passages] I do not read Greek or Hebrew, so I cannot ensure \u201caccuracy\u201d of the translations, but I just go on \u201cgut\u201d feeling and what SOUNDS to me like clarity, truth and beauty.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This expresses it well. So many translations appear to me not to be an honest translation of the original, but an expression into English of what the \u201ctranslators\u201d wished that the original had said! Hence, I am seeking to provide here a list of online tools to help people check what the original actually says. And remember: don\u2019t believe anyone who says that translation is not interpretation. Translation is always<\/em><\/strong> interpretation.<\/p>\n

More significantly, more than helping you win one of those tiresome theological debates generally at the level of angels on pinheads \u2013 delving into the original biblical languages enriches our lives. It is not the few parts of the Bible that we disagree about that should be our focus \u2013 but the central core of it that we DO agree on. There is much more that unites us than divides us! There is One who unites us, and can unite us\u2026<\/p>\n

Thanks to all those who have helped me so far in this collating \u2013 especially mytwitter<\/a> followers.
\nUsual disclaimers<\/strong>: Links here do not necessarily mean I agree with the translation, interpretation, theology, blah, blah, blah\u2026<\/p>\n
