 1 Corinthians 8:2

And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.


a. ASV: If any man thinketh that he knoweth anything, he knoweth not yet as he ought to know;  [Thomas Nelson & Sons first published the American Standard Version in 1901. This translation of the Bible is in the public domain.]


b. YLT: And if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet known anything according as it behoveth him to know; [The Young's Literal Translation was translated by Robert Young, who believed in a strictly literal translation of God's word.

c.
