Those verses you posted do sound good. I don't know Greek so I would have to trust the translators. A brother at church had that Bible and called it the Baptist Bible, I wonder what he meant, exactly. I am always more wary of extra translations and paraphrases, knowing that there are some that take advantage of the language details and change the meaning. Kalled2Preach, could you post John 3:16 also, for my own curiosity, Exodus 21:22? Do you know any other verses that have noteworthy clarifications?
