This is a work in progress. I used this when teaching a lesson on the differences of the English translations and versions of the Bible. It is simply one verse, Romans 8:1, from the various English Bible versions that exist. As I find some of the older translations I will add them. If you have a translation or Bible version that I do not have listed please email me the verse and I will add it to the list. Be sure to tell me what version that it is from and make sure that the spelling and punctuation match exactly. I think this list is very effective in showing the different approaches and nuances of the various translations.
