"Discredit myself? Why? How? It does a better job at rendering this verse than many other translations."

=================================================

That is debatable but I am speaking of the translation itself, not the verse.

If you didn't already know it is the Jehovas Witness own version of "the bible".

If you are not a JW than perhaps you have just not done your homework and some research is in order.

Start with John 1:1

Forgot the h in Jehovahs.

First of all the thread is not about John 1:1, that should have a thread to itself.

Then Catholics have “their own version”, the NAB, and the United Bible Society has “their own version” and someone has the Peshitta and so forth.
