I just have a quick question. What is the difference between a Bible "translation" and a Bible "version". I have read material before that said a "version" is different from a "translation" due to the fact that much of a "version's" text comes from an older Bible "translation". For example, how the King James Version has much of its text based on the Latin Vulgate, not always on the oldest or most reliable Heb, Aram and Gre texts of the Bible.
At any rate, I would appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Dwayne

Actually, Dwayne, the two words are synonymous. A version is the act of translating from one language into another. A translation is that it is rendered from another language specifically a translation or rendering of the Bible or part of it. The words are basically synonymous and interchangeable.
