The following are a few of the flood of new version verses which choke the voice of faith. Of course, the two key verses opening the door to an understanding of faith are mistranslated. Verse 1 Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Galatians 3:2 KJV To cloud the readers comprehension of Galatians 3:2 and 5, two of the most critical verses distinguishing faith from works, the NIV editors feign a lack of understanding of Greek and English grammar. They translate the simple Greek noun "works" into a complex verbal noun "observing"; then they reverse both the position and grammatical function of both "hearing" and "faith." Verse 2 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 KJV In the above verse, the NIV and TEV change two Greek nouns to adjectives! The NASB mistranslates the noun "substance." Verse 3 Isaiah said this because he saw These things said Esaias when Jesus' glory. NIV he saw his glory. . . KJV John 12:41

The majority of Greek MS read 'when', which points to faith.
