Hope this helps? ( I love my Ryrie study Bible,did read the book of Ecclesiastics this morning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esword has a good app that downloads several different translations to your phone that will give you a good idea also..... both are free. I normally use the 1972 version of the NASB for it seems to be the closest to a word for word translation, but have access to the others when something doesn't seem really clear.... referencing different versions can give a slightly different perspective depending on one's grasp on the english language. Just a thought though, I use these to study.... when I want to just read for overall knowledge I don't read at all. I am a auditory learner so I have both the KJV and the NASB in mp3 format and I listen to the word much more than I read it. That is just my own personal quirk though.

But I am getting a little bit confused now. The NJK is (I think) too difficult for me, because English isn't my native language. So I think, the best option is an ESV bible. Now comes the problem if I want to buy ESV bible, where can I buy it (at a shop that delivers it to Holland)? Well that's it for now, I'll hope you all have a blessed day. --Rik Edited May 10, 2016 by rikdegraaff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We love you in Christ! posted by Angels4u That's for sure Rik,,,,,,& since Angels is much more familiar with your language I think she knows better than I ,,,,,,,,,,I must applaud your efforts to read the Bible in English,,,,,,,probably a parallel(side by side) study with the ESV & your Het Boek might work out very well?,,,,,,,,,,,English is a very complicated language to begin with,the KJV is "Old English" & can be very hard to comprehend even if English(American)is primary ,,,,,,,,,,,God be with you ALWAYS!

I am going to save some money and buy it then. Now I have a question about the New World Translation from the Jehovah Witnesses. I have this translation in Dutch. But I heard from some members in this topic, that the New World Translation isn't right. Why are some of you "against" this translation?? I've compared it with my "normal" bible, and I don't see any faults... I have to admit that I did not read the whole bible, but I don't see anything that I think that is not right. Let's take John chapters 1 to 3, I have read the chapters in both bibles, but there is nothing wrong. Okay it is written with other words, but what is wrong with the New World Translation?? If someone thinks that I need a new topic to discuss the above, that is all right. I would love to get this explained to me. Have a blessed day, Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
