6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, 2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. 3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with[a] humans forever, for they are mortal[b]; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
i really only ever read the KJV so i hadn't ever thought of noting what the NIV said there. They actually made them into "heroes". Wow..that says a lot about where the editors of the translation are coming from.

KJV = "old, men of renown" = TRUTH
NIV = FAKE AND GAY - Compare the two versions here: NIV added the concept of these NEPHILIM as being "HEROES'. Get REAL. More like TYRANTS. Tanksx
