Actually I took it upon myself to find out what the word generation means in
this context. It is from the Latin word "genei" which means seed or stock:
Which the true interpretation means race, so therefore the NIV and KJV both
have a bad word for the translation, but this is best suited for the people
who translated it at the time.
