Kevin Durant's New Back Tattoo May Have A Misspelling In It (PHOTOS)

LOOK: Is There A Typo In Kevin Durant's New Biblical Tattoo?

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Kevin Durant got a new tattoo on his back of a verse from the Bible -- but there may be a misspelling in the religious passage.

After posting a photo of his new body ink to Instagram on Wednesday, some hawk-eyed Internet detectives, like Washington Post sports writer Sarah Kogod, pointed out that the phrase "become mature and well developed" actually said "become mautre and well developed."

It is just me, or does it look like "mature" is spelled wrong on Kevin Durant's back tattoo? yhoo.it/16PgiSi

It certainly appears as if Durant's tattoo artist made a typo. But later on Wednesday Durant assured his followers that "mature" was spelled the right way. He posted a photo that makes us think maybe there was never a typo at all:

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post misattributed the Bible verse used in Durant's tattoo.
