ON THIS PAGE Emphasis Mine In Bible Verses
NOTE: To paraphrase means to restate a text or passage in another form or other words - often to clarify meaning or make it easier to understand. It DOES NOT mean to alter the meaning of the original text which, in many cases, is exactly what the paraphrases (The Message, Living Bible etc.) have done. However, to be noted is that traditional translations have very often rendered Greek and Hebrew words according to preconceived ideas or biases. See Mishandling the Word of God.
