    Why would it say in the Bible, "Thou shalt print this in different versions," ?

    There is no scripture in the Bible about your question. There are not many VERSIONS of the Bible either. However, there are different translations which is quite another thing. The Bible is translated into different lanquages, and even different, clearer translations within the same language. The english language has many different translations in order to make it easier to understand for people. They are however translated from the original text simply making it easier reading but with the same meaning. The paraphrased translations are not as accurate as regular translations and should never be used for studying.

    Lanugage changes. The bible, from time to time, is re-translated into more modern English. Example. King James, 1611. NIV....modern English. The latter is much more understandable to me, so I use it as my study bible.

    There are not different versions, just different interpretations. Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic doesn't translate into English perfectly.

    Because the ENGLISH LANGUAGE keeps changing.

    I have no verse to support my claim.
