Updated NIV 2010 Completed


The highly anticipated update to the NIV is now completed. While the print edition is not expected to be released until 2011, the online version has now been made available for viewing at BibleGateway (please click here) and Biblica (please click here).

Prof Doug Moo, Chair of the Committee on Bible Translation, provides us with the introductory video of the updated NIV. A condensed version of the video can be found at YouTube.




Please also refer to the translators' notes for the corrections made to the updated version of the NIV by clicking here.

From the translators' notes, I am pleased to note that several significant corrections and changes have been made, taking into account recent scholarship. But I would still like to take a look at several more passages and study them before I make further comments.

Enjoy reading the updated NIV online.

Personally I think the choice of the word "flesh" instead of "sinful nature" (as in the old NIV) in Romans 8 and Galatians 5 is good. The Greek word "sarx" is notoriously difficult to translate and there seems to be no perfect English translation for it. But in the case of Rom 8 and Gal 5 I think it's better to use "flesh" (even though it is not the perfect either).

SF,
I would agree with you that "flesh" is a better translation.
