    New World Translation, it's printed in the language that we use today.

    The KJ uses words that do not have the same meaning today as they did 400 years ago when the KJ was written, take 1 Cor. 10:25 it says (everything you find in the shambles you may eat) what does the word shambles mean to you today?

    More than likely you would say ( a mess, this place is really a mess) the word shambles 400 years ago meant (a meat market) if a person was reading that scripture in the KJ they would not understand the meaning of the scripture.

    The New World Translation of the Bible & some other translations corrects this scripture with the words (meat market) now you can understand the meaning of the scripture. There are also other words that have been corrected also.

    Available in whole or in part in over 120 languages. For a complete list of languages, see www.jw.org.

    Total Printed of All Editions of the New World Translation:

    I mainly use the NLT, CEV, NIV and the Message. All are good for study.

    Christians don't read Bibles. They never have. They don't even know that there are two very different Bibles from two very different times.

    I matters not which one you read. But please read.

    We need more atheists.....

    I use the one at church, it's kind of a part of the Mass, and also, whatever version online, and of course, those random ones one gets at Bible Study prayer group classes. (They could be any of them) I have a Women's bible, and I suppose it's politically correct, but I prefer to hear "handmaiden" when it's a girl and "servant" when it's a boy.

    Call me romantic.
