Which Bible Version Shall We Use?

All scripture now found in the Bible was first written between about 1500 B.C. and 100 A. D., between some 2000 and 3500 years ago. As it came from the pens of the original inspired authors it was perfect scripture and accurately conveyed to man the mind and will of the Lord. Since then, "Ignorant translators, careless transcribers, or designing and corrupt priests have committed many errors." (Teachings, p. 327; 1 Nephi 13:20-42; 1 Nephi 14:18-30.)

There are many versions of the Bible now available, all varying in literary excellence and in accuracy of translation. Though all versions are incomplete and contain many errors and false statements, there are two which excel all others and come the nearest to the whole truth. They are the King James Version and the Inspired Version. This Doctrinal New Testament Commentary is based upon them.
