Hi Kenrch,Thanks for the welcome.I would like to recommend a book which contains a couple of nice lists. One list contains renderings of John 1:1 (79) other than the traditional “and the word was God.” For this thread though, this book also cantains a list of English translations which contain God's name in the NT (Greek Scriptures) in some form.…[Read more]
