Quick And Alive

I always believe that the Bible should be translated into a language we use daily. But there are always those who believe in King James Version.

Let us look at this verse in KJV:
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 KJV)

For those who do not know, the word "quick" in the passage in the times of King James means "alive".

Let say a user of KJV Bible whose knowledge of Jacobean English is not good enough, when doing Bible study would have use the modern meaning of "quick", which is "fast". Then he would think that the speed of the Bible is very fast. Then he may link up with another word regarding speed, such as Isaiah 64:24, and come up with some wrong interpretation.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24 KJV)

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 NASB)
