Title: What Bible Translation Do You Use?
Post by: Lampy 2.0 on July 14, 2012, 02:29:28 PM: Title says all. (I'm not very good at topic openers.)

I personally use the King James Version, because I was trained to use it in Bible Drill (after a year with NIV) and to me, it's the translation I'm the most comfortable with using. What translation(s) do you use?

Hated NLV. NIV's acceptable, but NKJV is quite good.

Post by: Sean on July 14, 2012, 11:41:20 PM: My wife and I started reading through about a week ago and we chose to read from the NKJV. I usually read from NIV when I read on my own. For study I like grabbing a dynamic translation and a literal translation for comparison.
