Luke 20:46-47 CEV Guard against the teachers of the Law of Moses! They love to walk around in long robes, and they like to be greeted in the market.

These teachers will be punished most of all.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
