Comparative Verse List (part 1 of 3)

< Page 1: Matthew-Acts | Page 2: Romans-Hebrews | Page 3: James-Revelation >

The reader will note that the following list of Scripture texts includes a number of categories. Some texts demonstrate the TNIV's departure from the original Greek text in the matter of gender markings (Matthew 5:23; Heb. 2:17; James 1:12); some the TNIV's departure from the original Greek text in the matter of explicit mention of the Jews (John 1:19, 5:10, 19:31); and some simply demonstrate an inconsistent application of the TNIV's stated translation principles (Eph. 1:5). Then finally, a few texts are included because they were thought to be worthy of note for unrelated reasons (Mark 2:15; 1 John 3:9, 4:17; Jude 7).

Where we debated including a text, most often we added it to the list so the reader could form his own judgment.
