I have many differant english, greek, and hebrew bibles and many differant translations. I think a good english bible is the NASV. I also like the NKJV because it avoids all the old english jargon such as thou, ye, and thus. If you do a little internet research you will find that NASV is one on the most accurate english translations of the bible. I like to read and study differant translation and I also like to refer back to the orginal greek or hebrew for word studies by doing this it will shed more light on a scripture because translations can be a little off some times.

It reads at about a 9th grade level The new King James Version is a bit more descriptive; and may help a new believer. just my 1/2 cent worth of info Kay Edited July 11, 2004 by Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Bless Jacqueline It is okay; but I guess the ole baptist in me likes the old stuff. :x: Besides my son went to christian homeschool and they recommend the King James because it is at a lower grade level really it is to each his own; just follow the WORD that is written in any of them Love ya :hug: KAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, KJV is hard to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also it is a thoroughly, documented FACT, the King James Bible agrees with 99% of the Greek NT manuscripts. While the new versions (including some of the NEW King James) uses two primary manuscripts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO.........Good ol' KJV is the most accurate. When we consider that John Wesley's mother taught each of her children how to read ON THEIR FIFTH BIRTHDAY, and out of the KJV, I think anyone is quite capable of reading and understanding it. If, however you're having great difficulties, about 90% of all translations agree on about 99% of the text. With a blessing, Leonard, a sinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
