Ahh that’s fantastic! I’m so happy for you 🥰🥰 The Bible is amazing! Something we can always learn from.

I love that about the first Bible too! Ooh I haven’t heard of the New Jerusalem Bible.

Haha yeah that’s the only problem with these kinds of videos, always make me want new Bibles

Thank you 😊 they have all been very good in different ways x

Yes I have and they’re so gorgeous! I saw a beautiful pink one that is just for psalms and proverbs that I have my eye on haha. Do they do fill Bibles too?

I was just about to comment the same thing! I have the rose gold SRT Bible, it’s beautiful 💕

Hi, could you explain the differences between NLT, NIV, and ESV?

@@eileen2099 Sure! So for starters the NIV and the NLT are from the same translational philosophy so they’re going to be more similar to one another than they are to the ESV in terms of how they read. There are two translation philosophies in Bible translation: formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence. Formal equivalence simply means that the translators try to word-for-word translate the Greek and Hebrew of the original scriptures into the exact English equivalences and retain as much as possible the sentence structure of the original. Good examples of these are the KJV, NKJV, ESV, and NASB. Dynamic equivalence is a thought-for-thought translation where they extrapolate the meaning of what was being said but put it in a more contemporary sentence structure and verbiage more resembling how English speakers talk today. Good examples are the NIV, NLT, and CSB. There are also paraphrases which are not actual translations such as The Message. Both translation philosophies are excellent and produce accurate, readable, and trustworthy translations of the Bible. I think that it is always a good idea to own multiple translations of the Bible because they can give you different perspectives and help you to further understand the text. The ESV still retains the beautiful prose of the KJV but is translated from better manuscripts and is written in our contemporary English. While it is written in contemporary English, it does retain exact Hebrew and Greek words that are traditional “Bible-ese” at this point that are not used in our everyday language. A good example of this is the word “behold”, whereas the NIV and the NLT would say, “Look”. On the spectrum of literal to dynamic out of the three, the ESV is the most literal, followed by the NIV, followed by the NLT. But all of three of them are excellent. Does that help?

@@maggieprice357 Oh I see. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks so much for explaining!

It’s English 😊 I live close to Scotland so my accent is quite strong.

Thank you! 💕💕

It’s a great Bible isn’t it!

>h

Haha it was great wasn’t it!

It really was!

Thank you so much! Yes she did 🥺 it’s a Bible I will treasure forever.

Haha no you won’t be finding them in my collection 😊

@@thefaithlady thank God!

Ahh Cool, thanks for sharing! I do like archeology so will look into these Bibles!

@@thefaithlady Your welcome. Please let me know what you think

Thanks Sue 😊

@@thefaithlady you’re welcome 😉

It’s the NIV Larger Print Soft-tone Bible: Sunflowers

It depends on how big of a Bible you can fit in it. If you can get a nice chunky Bible in it I would recommend that NLT illustrated study Bible but if not I would probably go for a more thinline one like the sunflower Bible.

@@thefaithlady Thank you for the response! I have the big NLT Illustrated and it won't fit. I'm in the US and have been having trouble locating the sunflower Bible. Do you know if it's available in the US?
