    This thread is nearly three years old. However,the subject needs to be brought out to the light again. I do know for sure now that the ISV had to be based upon GW translation. There is just no way around it.

    There is a current thread dealing with GWT. I thought I would revive this old one.

    In my OP I had said:"I don't know for sure." Well, read on. The subsequent posts revealed that the ISV based their translation on GWT. There is just no way around it.

    Here we go again. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    I have The Four Translation New Testament (KJV, NASB, Williams, Beck). A quick glance through it shows that this low standard for plagiarism could be applied to many different versions. Why? They just happen to be translated from the same text!

    Furthermore, many of the examples given on this thread are quite different, proving that there is no plagiarism.

    I've had my say. I'll not comment any more on this thread. It might encourage Rippon too much. :smilewinkgrin:

    On the contrary, the many examples that Franklin and I have given make it rather incontestable that the ISV based a large percentage of their "translation" on GWT.

    You must have read in haste.
