LUKE 7:31 ESV DOESN'T HAVE "AND THE LORD SAID"

[DougE]

[Luke 7:31 KJV] "And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?"

[Luke 7:31 ESV] ""To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?"

The ESV and other Bibles don't have "and the Lord said"

 

[NBTT]

Are all of these threads arguing for KJV only? The KJV is my favorite translation but other translations are useful too. For example in this verse I strongly prefer the NKJV.

[IS 45:7 KJV] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

[IS 45:7 NKJV] I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.

I saw someone suggest that all of these arguments could go into one thread and I tend to agree. At the very least add a unique tag in the subject e.g. [KJV-ONLY-ARGS] that allows a search to find all these useful arguments in one place.
