Always enjoy your videos. As I have stated before, I dont lean to one family of manuscripts or text types over the other. I do have a little more issue with the TR as it has more from the Latin inserted into it. But when I look to translations, I love the NLT and the NKJV. When I read the NLT verses 44 and 46 are footnoted so you can still read them and of course the NKJV has the verses in the text. I also do look at what the World English Bible (WEB) reads because it is a Robinson Pierpont Byzantine Priority Text. I also read the 1599 Geneva Bible, daily verses from the ESV, CSB and NASB 95.

I like to use the NKJV with the NASB95. I favor the TR slightly because I can’t imagine the church for many years preaching added text. I think God does preserve his word. I do still think the modern translation scholarship is pretty good. I buy Concordia commentary on books of the Bible. They translate original to English and it does seem to match closest with modern translations like LSB or NASB 95 or LEB.

Augustine quoted these three in City of God Book 21 Chapter 9. Since he lived in ancient times he had to have had an ancient text.

New to this discussion so forgive me if you’ve already covered this…what translations are based on the Byzantine text?
