Friendly question. :) Which version(s) of the Bible are you reading?

[Bishka]

KJV with LDS footnotes, I also use the New Living Translation at times just to clear up a little confusioin with the KJV, and partly because my grandmother bought it for me and everytime she asks if I use it and I can't lie, cause I feel guilty.

 

[Scuba Pete]

NIV

It uses modern English and reads better than the others.

Same here. I love the language of the KJV -- in terms of how it reads, but I do not find it easy to understand. I really wish the Church would come out with a modern English translation of the Bible and the Book of Mormon. I know it would increase my desire to study the scriptures ten-fold.

Agreed.

i've been using several study guides as of late just to understand things.

I use NIV mostly, but I read NKJV and KJV too. I'm in a ministry on campus so I get a lot of ESV and NASB too.

 

[Lindsey-Loo]

My Bible is a New King James version, but when looking up verses, I will often use the New American Standard, and occasionally the King James.

Those that dispense with the sequel.

Lol. Good way to put it.


I'm reading the NRSV.

i read many translations, but my favourite is the NEW WORLD TRANSLATION as it is a very good accurate translation and it is online as well Bible Online

I use the Good News Bible (with Deuterocanonicals/Apocrypha).
