Acts is not ours
Anyone who is saved today by believing the gospel, is saved and sealed, they have the gift of grace, Christ lives in them, this is a mystery, and in order for them to understand what the Lord Jesus Christ has given them they need to read Paul's letters daily. If a believer is reading a corrupt translation they will end up tossed to and fro. God has made his scriptures available for anyone who is saved today. Remember God is not the author of confusion but of peace.

Dynamic and Formal equivalence
Below are the 2 main types of methods used to translate the scriptures from the greek into the english, understanding what they are is important, if a text written is translated incorrectly it becomes corrupted, believers today need to have the right material if they want to walk and please God. Paul warned that this would happen way back 2000 years ago.
Dynamic equivalence
This method was used to translate many versions of the bible , unfortunately it is inaccurate as refeenced in the example above, they changed words into what they thought it would say rather than what it actually said for many different reasons, readers being able to understand and also for copyright issues.
Formal equivalence
Formal equivalence was a method of translation that translated the scriptures, word for word and was the method used in translating the King James Bible. This method means that they did not change the words into what they thought it said, but rather, into what it actually said.
