What is your favourite Bible translation?

[Anonymous]

&The King James Version is my favorite.

I do use many other translations (NLB, NLT, NASB, NIV & Amplified Bible) when studying the Bible. I usually use them all together to get the general context of a particular scripture to get it's meaning or the big picture. :a2:

Pam, there you go, webdinging again! :tongue:

I read the KJV, and add the NLT and NIV when looking up certain scriptures.

Now, Dr Steve, which one is it that you like? :bg:

[Crusader4Christ]

Aahhhhhh, but are they the same? As I said earlier, just regarding the one Prayer of Jabez. It is not the same. "It" is not the same as "I". "It may not grieve me". "I may not cause harm"......what is the similarity there? Not stirring. Just viewing

Yes, pretty much. It's just the wording that is different. Of course you aren't going to get a perfect translation. Some of the sentences have to be inverted,

tossed around, and stuff like that.

God bless you prodigaldaughter.

Yes Crusader, I agree that they get the "jest" of it out there in different versions. That one happened to strike me wrong. The verse made it sound like "I" was the bad one, where KJV says "It" was the bad one. I like that much better

My first "Bible" I read was "The Bible", talk about plain english, it certainly was, but started wondering if I was getting the true idea tha God intended to be heard.

I say, anything that will get people to reading the Word of God is good. Let God lead them to what understanding is needed for each. The seed, the soil, the water, the new growth, the fruit. It is all a process. Just as it is when we are physically born. The Potter will mold each of us to what he chooses for us and by what means is necessary.

I kinda like the Thees and Thous myself tho:

God Bless The Brothers and Sisters, and Texans too

[Crusader4Christ]

Yes, I like the thees and thous as well.

Ah, so many Bibles...I wish I had a copy of all the different version, for comparison purposes, and for transaltion structure.

However, I only have my KJV, my NASB, and my old CLB (Catholic Living Bible).

That one I used when I was catholic ( while back.)

God bless you prodigaldaughter.

Lots of good commentaries, too!

Let's see...I memorize out of the KJV, I study out of my NKJV, but looking around I also have a NIV, NAS, NRSV,REB,NAB and a NJB.

[Crusader4Christ]

I'm taking guesses here.

NIV = New International Version

NAS = New American Standard

NRSV = New Revised Standard Version

REB = Revised English Version

NAB = New American Bible

NJB = New Jerusalem Bible

Are they correct?

How about this one? The CLB.

God bless you brother JohnS.
