I like this post.My favorite has to be Romans 3:25, from “through faith” to “to be received by faith.”

Here is another one:
Philippians 2:6 NIV
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

Philippians 2:6 TNIV
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

This is not a favorite change but the TNIV does a lot of unique renderings. Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. (Acts 2:31) Hades, hell, and grave are sometimes now rendered realm of the dead. I once read an article why this was a better translation in relation to Gk., but for the life of me I can’t remember where I read it.

All of them, I never really cared for the NIV

I like John 1:18 where it changed God the One and Only in the NIV to the one and only Son, who is himself God in the TNIV.

Hmm, I guess I haven’t done any comparisons of the TNIV to the NIV. I completely switched and never looked back I guess. I think it may simply be that I am more interested in the various traditions than the changes within them.
