You might reply: Which translation of the Bible do you have? Is it . . .

(list several in your language)? There are many translations, you know.
Then perhaps add: Im glad to use whatever translation you prefer. But
you may be interested in knowing why I especially like the New World
Translation. It is because of its modern, understandable language, also
because the translators held so closely to what is in the original Bible
languages.
Or you could say: What you say makes me feel that you must have a
Bible in your home. What translation of the Bible do you use? . . . Would
you be willing to get it? Then perhaps add: For all of us, regardless of
which translation we use, at John 17:3 Jesus stressed the important thing
to keep in mind, as you can see here in your own Bible. . . .
Another possibility: There are many translations of the Bible. Our
Society encourages the use of a variety of them in order to make
comparisons and to help students to grasp the real sense of the Scriptures.
As you may know, the Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and
Greek. So we appreciate what translators have done to put it into our
language. Which Bible translation do you use?
An additional suggestion: Evidently you are a person who loves Gods
Word. So I am sure you would be interested in knowing what one of the
big differences is between the New World Translation and other versions. It
involves the name of the most important person spoken of in the
Scriptures. Do you know who that is? Then perhaps add: (1) Did you
know that his personal name appears in the Bible in the original Hebrew
some 7,000 timesmore than any other name? (2) What difference
does it make whether we use the personal name of God or not? Well, do
you have any really close friends whose name you do not know? . . . If we
want a personal relationship with God, knowing his name is an important
start. Notice what Jesus said at John 17:3, 6. (Ps. 83:18)

Scriptures

the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.

I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me
out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they

You alone are the Most High over all the earth.
