the NIV mistranslates "sarx" which just means flesh as "sin nature". Thats a mistranslation. I know they probably meant well in that, but its NOT what the word means.
Its also got some weird readings like "The only begotten God" in John 1.
I also dislike how they put in the footnotes "verses X Y and Z not in the most ancient manuscripts". Casting doubt on what its really saying. When I read that im thinking "Well, what else is not in the original manuscripts?". We all know what verses those would be, the ones that hit home.
I guess you can look at it another way and say they are being honest and transparent in the footnotes and not hiding information from the public.
KJV is superior to NIV imo. I like the fact it says the word HELL instead of Hades. You say hades to people and they think of hercules and greek mythology
