			:: Some Protestants will tell you that the only acceptable version of the Bible is the King James. This position is known as King James-onlyism. Its advocates often make jokes such as, "If the King James Version was good enough for the apostle Paul, it is good enough for me," or, "My King James Version corrects your Greek text."

Traduttore, Traditore

Line 4:		Line 4:

	The Italian proverb that the translator (''traduttore'') is a traitor (''traditore'') is itself an example of the difficulties of translating from one language to another. In Italian, changing one vowel changes the meaning of the word; there is no similar pair in English that matches the Italian pair of words. Puns, jokes, literary or cultural allusions, idioms, paraphrases of well-known sayings, and shades of meaning can easily get lost in translation.

			In [http://study.interlinearbible.org/john/3.htm John 3:3,] "Î³ÎµÎ½Î½Î·Î¸á¿‡ á¼„Î½Ï‰Î¸ÎµÎ½" may be translated as "born from above" or "born again." It is a perfect pun, because being "born from above" necessarily implies being "born again." We must use two different phrases in English to capture the tangled meanings of the Greek pun.
