Here are a wide variety of Bible translations, 27 of the Bible translations in English, and 35 of the Bible in other modern languages. The English ones run the range from very literal versions, through versions claiming dynamic equivalence, to paraphrases. Most of those from other languages are of the dynamic equivalence type.
