What is your favorite bible version? Why did you choose that particular version?

Lately I have started liking the ESV more. I preferred the NASB in the past, but have my complaints with it. Actually the new KJV is also to my liking. The NIV is easiest to read.

My preference though is to go back to the original Greek in the NT, but I am not as proficient at it as I would like to be.

The Living Bible (from the 1970's). Even though I own most all versions, I have taught children at VBS, Children's Church, and Sunday School for years and this version makes sense to young ones and to myself. I firmly believe the best Bible is the one read and understood and applied.

I don't have a "favourite Bible version". I use the one true Bible of the Word of God.

non of the version is my favorite,nor i like this book at this shape it has now.

I mean to say it has been changed by various people according to their own views and many "great" people have added their views in this book to mold other people according to their views.So this is no more that book which was sent by God.isn't it

NWT- new world translation- easier to understand then the king james version.

King James is the Best

I chose this version because i enjoy it when reading and it has undiluted words

The new Modern version ( i forgot the correct name for it)

it's the only version i can understand,lol

GENESIS 1 - 29 see i have given you every herb that yeilds seed which is on the face of all the earth .

so smoke ,eeerrrr eat up ppl

i use the New World Translation because it is written in modern language and restore God's name in the bible.

I like the Jeffersonian , no miracles , and just a little closer to reality
