David "Lingamish" Ker has posted round three of our little comparison between the New Living Translation and the Contemporary English Version. In this new installment, David looks at 2 Corinthians 3 giving particular attention to how the text sounds when read aloud. David also provides his own "Lingamish" translation for part of the text as well.

If you are just now tuning into the series, be sure to read Round 1 (also written by David) and Round 2 (written by yours truly).

READ THIS NEXT SENTENCE VERY FAST TO GET THE SENSE OF HOW I INTEND IT TO BE HEARD: And of course, there's still the post out there that was almost Round 3, in which David called his method and motives a scam, but I thought he was referring to the whole series as a scam, and I took great offense because the work on my part was certainly 100% scam-free, but David recanted clarified, and retitled his post removing any indication that the post itself was Round 3 (which it originally was meant to be), and thus proved my point that too much time spent on the Wikipedia can indeed affect one's reason and sound judgment.

Stay tuned because at some point in the near future, Round 4 will be posted here. I haven't selected a passage yet, but if you have suggestions, feel free to post them as long as your motives aren't "scam-motivated."
