Pastor Steve Weaver wrote an excellent short series of three articles on the subject of Bible translations. I thought he covered a great deal of ground in a concise manner. I recommend this series to anyone who wants a quick but informed overview of this very important subject.
Pastor Steve’s interactions with the King James Only naysayers in the comments section (after each article) are also very worthwhile. Well done Steve.

Article 3: Why are there so many Bible Translations?
Justification is a legal court room term defined as the act of God when He declares a person just or righteous in His sight. This takes place the moment a sinner places their trust in the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. For the sinner who has faith in Jesus, God pronounces the sentence “I find you not guilty! I reckon (I count, I declare) you righteous in My sight, and you and I are forever at peace with each other. All of your sins were transferred to your sin bearing Substitute, the Lord Jesus Christ, who took the full brunt of My holy wrath for you, and what has been transferred to your account is the righteousness of My Son, who lived not only a sinless life, but a life fully pleasing to Me. This very real righteousness is yours now and forever.”
