Explanation:
As was already stated, the translation depends on the translation of the Bible used. This is from the New International Version, one of the most commonly used modern translations. Another reply was from the King James Version, certainly the best known translation into English. However, the KJV dates from the year 1611 and thus the English is antiquated.
