What is the difference between a functional translation and a formal translation?

formal goes off what the words actually say and lets you infer the feeling, functional tries to convey the feeling

@d0c40r0 @animepfp

Is that different than "Word for Word" translations vs "Thought for Thought" translations?

formal is word for word, functional is thought for thought

I just want to say that I hate English Standard Version and that from my point of view the New American Standard Bible is superior to it

@d0c40r0 @animepfp

You can find corresponding strong's concordance numbers paired with the words in New American Standard Version, King James and the New International Version but you can not anywhere I know of for the English Standard Version

Not only is the English Standard Version not as good because it lacks pairing with Strong's concordance numbers but additionally it is more difficult to understand than the New American Standard version giving no benefit in exchange that I know of
