Which Version?

[Amour]

Whats your favourite version of the Bible?

I think I have the New International Version (NIV) and it doesnt mentioned anything about fornifications but only sexual immorality. I wanted to know whats the most 'accurate' version and your favourite?

I like the new living but I only read the KJ or the NKJ because they are more accurate then the rest from my study on different bible. I even have the jewish bible which reads like a story.

I also like the New Living Translation but I prefer the New International Version. I also hear really really good things about the English Standard Version so I'm purchasing one of those soon. I have yet to buy a NKJV though I need to add it to my collection as well - maybe the parallel one.

New King James

[FoxyScholar]

Amplified although when I'm quoting in prayer/warfare, it's KJV!

"Accuracy", for what it's worth, is when I go to my Strong's concordance to find the Hebrew/Greek reference.

I prefer the KJV and like to use the Hebrew and Greek references.

New King James is my favorite but I have a NIV, NL, amplified, message and king james version :giggle:. I use them all for different things.

yes get the NKJ because if you compare it to NIV and NLT and other bibles you will see there are many things missing. I don't like that so I stick with KJ or NKJ and look throught both. I won't read NIV and I have many of them. To many things missing from there.

Wow, I had no idea. :perplexed I just understand it so much better. Almost every church I've been to in the past few years uses NIV. I attend Bible Study Fellowship and the bible used is NIV.

I think I will get a parellel NIV/NKJ so I can have something for church and something for study.

Thanks for the info.

King James for me.

I had a King James/New Living translation bible. I really liked that one. I'm still hurt that I left it at church one day and haven't seen it since.

I like to get as close to the original as possible...so KJV supplemented by Hebrew and Greek texts along with my Strong's.

[mellowmel]

I have a NKJV and NIV. I read the NKJV more, it's what I grew up on. I will be buying the KJV though, my Mom told me it's more accurate than the others. I usually read my bible how I study for a test. I have 2 textbooks plus internet sources for classes and I learn so much more. So that is how I approach my Bible. I use 2 Bible and whatever supplements will allow me understanding and get me all the details.
