Which Translation should I use?
Which Translation should I use? I get asked this question regularly, "Which translation should I use?" Although I am not partial to any translation, I do have some words to say on this subject.

![As Christians we need to start realizing that we are more of the same than we are different. We are in the same family.
[share with others]
We could spend forever focusing on how different we are, and I don’t want to do that.
I think it is obvious how many of us think differently, see differently, and are DIFFERENT.
Let’s go back to the beginning. Let’s put us on the same page; we are more of the SAME than we think.
Same propensity to sin. Same Grace. Same Savior. Same family.
Think about how things would change if we saw it this way:
When we felt tempted to demonize other Christians for their differences, we would remember that we were first siblings. That person is God’s son or daughter, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God, are children of God” (Romans 8:14).
How do we typically treat our siblings? For me, my sister and brother can do no wrong. When someone messes with my brother or sister, my inner boxer comes out to defend and uphold their character. If they need space, I give it to them. If they are going through something, I understand.
They are my siblings; I will defend them and go to-bat-for-them, always. As Romans says, “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, to bring praise to God” (Romans 15:7 NLT).
