Also, the English Standard Version (ESV), and the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) would be good choices. The HCSB is the only modern translation that translates doulos (slave in the Greek) consistently correctly as slave instead of bond-servant. Both the NASB and the ESV translate it as bond-servant.Morris Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083884122271855154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36553560.post-28105879487351825572011-07-02T15:00:13.464-07:002011-07-02T15:00:13.464-07:00So which version DO you recommend?So which version DO you recommend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
