    It's a personal choice as to which translation you find readable. I suggest the NIV or the NJKV. These are versions that are pretty accurate translations form the original Hebrew and Greek texts.

    I advise the Layman's learn Bible, that's composed of four distinctive English translations, shown area-through-area on one internet site. Why 4? via fact no version of the Bible is carefully "extra useful" than any others. It only quite relies upon on what would desire to satisfy your needs the terrific on the 2nd. Do you prefer extra of a "observe for observe" translation? that would desire to be the hot American familiar Bible (NASB). do you prefer extra of a paraphrastic interpretation in straightforward and straightforward conversational American English reading of the Bible? that would desire to be the living Bible. do you prefer one for extra religiously aesthetic, formal and/or liturgical use? that would desire to be the King James Bible(KJV). Or, do you prefer one that is better contextually and maximum exceedingly study through individuals today? that would desire to be the hot international version (NIV). All 4 of those variations make up the Layman's learn Bible. it extremely is been definitely the terrific ingredient yet for me! To be forewarned is to be forearmed, so I additionally advise staying removed from biased and "too unfastened" variations like the hot international Translation of the Holy Scriptures (NWT), that's printed through the Jehovah Witness' cult; or the Message, which takes completely too many liberties and would do extra to misinform than make sparkling.
