The new NIV retains 95% of the words of the 1984 edition, but where there are changes, it communicates the original meaning better to modern readers and more accurately than before. The Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution in June 2011 saying they "cannot commend" the 2011 NIV.

What is wrong with the new NIV?
The problem with the NIV is that is not a great translation. It uses paraphrase a lot. Yes, I'm aware that paraphrase is often necessary in order to communicate phrases in other languages. Sometimes a literal translation is lost on the readers.

The 1984 NIV has "sinful nature" in these verses, but the 2011 NIV uses the literal word "flesh." The word used in Galatians 5:22 means patience with people, so the 2011 NIV translates it "forbearance." The 2011 NIV has improved the accuracy of many passages in the Old Testament, as well.

As of 2012 we are no longer allowed to distribute the 1984 NIV to new customers. If you previously purchased a copy of the 1984 NIV, you can continue using it. If you need to use it on additional computers, you will need to purchase new NIV licenses, but you can use the 1984 Bible file that you already have.9 Nov 2018
