Just curious as to what version everyone prefers.

I personally prefer the New King James for everyday reading, and I use the NKJV, NIV, KJV, and Amplified for my study.

Forewarning, I will shut this down if it turns into a KJV only thread. I want to know what people use and if they want to why, but no arguments!

My native language is French, but when I read the Bible in English, I like the NIV version best. The amplified version for study because it gives all the other words that could have been used to translate certain Greek words.

I find that the NIV flows more easily and I don't have to struggle to understand the meaning as much.

The King James really prevents me from getting into it because the words are such stumbling blocks...

I used for a time the American Standard Bible (ASV) and I marked it all up with cross references and note and then I switched back to the KJV and no notes. I am a King James Bible only guy (personal preference) and a "Majority Text" (Textus Receiptus) guy, but as yet I have never push my beliefs on anyone.

Seriously, I love to read multiple translations and compare them with Vines as I read through. I even enjoy "the Message"

I voted the KJV, because people own this version (has sold) more than any other.

Edited to say: I'll read all others for study, manuscripts mostly.

I love the KJV and found this wonderful bible that has the KJV and Amplified side by side. :wub: So if I'm reading and run into something I don't understand, all I have to do is glance over and receive clear understanding. :emot-highfive: Sadly to say...I left it at a conference and someone walked off with it. :b: Be getting a new one soon. :thumbsup:

Oh no! Who would take your Bible? Well, we can pray that the person really needed it and is brought to a better understanding of the Word because of it. Then I hope they pray for forgiveness for taking it. ;)

I voted for the NKJV because it's clearer to me and flows better. It just feels right to me. I don't believe it matters too much what version of the Bible you read; God's Word has a way to transcending anything man can do to it. The important thing is to read A Bible.

I have no idea, but after a little melt down :th_frusty: I was ok after a hour. My thoughts was the same..they must have really needed one. Thanks for your concern :wub:

Ican't vote. I don't use any of these for deep studies.

I read the NASB for it's the closest word for word I've used. But for serious things I have a linear translation from Hebrew and Greek to english with both the TR and Nestle manuscripts and strongs,DBD and Vines word definations
