Word is out (see the Better Bibles Blog, for example) that an updated version of the NIV will be released in 2011. Mark Goodacre (and a happy 6th anniversary of blogging to Mark) and others have already noted their hopes that the NIV finally drop "sinful nature" as a translation of σάρξ (sarx), which means "flesh." As Goodacre notes, this translation of such a key term "makes [the NIV] unusable as a translation for teaching Paul," a sentiment with which I strongly agree.
