What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Ellen White’s attitude toward Bible translations, the King James and Revised Versions, textual variants, and omitted verses in modern Bibles"
Answer
According to Arthur L. White, Ellen White used various English Bible translations but did not comment directly on their respective merits. Robert W. Olson reports that she used both the King James Version and the Revised Version, depending on the thought she wished to convey. The quotations provided contain no clear statement about her attitude toward textual variants and omitted verses in modern Bibles.
Use of Different Translations
»In her writings, Ellen White used the various English translations of the Holy Scriptures that were available in her time. However, she does not comment directly on the respective merits of these translations; her practice makes it clear, though, that she considered it desirable to make use of the best in other Bible translations.«
King James Version and Revised Version
»The first quotation is from the Revised Version, the latter from the King James Version. She felt free to use one translation or the other, depending on the thought she wished to convey.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
