What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I have KJV Interliner Greek/Hebrew. I love the lexicon and it is keyed to Strong's. His footnotes offer a lot of historical data and interpetation.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I use KJV.... It is what I was raised on, and have no desire to change really.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

It depends. Isn't that always the lawyers answer?

My least favorite is my NIV, my favorite is a toss up between my Peoples Parallel which has the KJV and the NLT, the NLT is my favorite translation. My other favorite is I have a Greek/Hebrew Study Bible that has a small lexicon and Strong’s definitions for key words.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I like NIV, American Standard, and The Message.

I rarely pick up my NIV anymore unless I want to use the concordance. I mostly read the Message because you can actually sit down and read it. Most of the young folks my age seem to like the Message too.

If the KJV was good enough for Paul, . . .

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Couldn't agree more!!!!

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I have a problem with the more dynamic translations. I prefer the ESV. It has the essentially literal philosophy and accuracy of the NASB and retains the beauty of the KJV. I also use many other translations along with the Bibleworks software.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

All time favorite would be KJV because we go back so far together. It's what I read for many years after I got saved in 1955 at the age of 17.

I've read a few versions all the way through, and I have read from and still read from many versions.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I'm not familiar with ESV?

I use many translations along with Bibleworks software as well. :)

Misinterpreted Standard Rico Edition Bible

Bought it on sale for $4.99 :ursofunny

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

My favorite is the KJV and my next favoriate is the ESV. I like them both because the scholarship of each translation was very dedicated to being essentially literal as opposed to dynamic.

I use a wide variety of Bible translations but the KJV and the ESV are my favs. I also enjoy the NASB. I'll use the NLT or the Message for paraphrases and looser teaching environments.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

KJV......'cause I'm saved.


Seriously, I also recommend the Maxwell Leadership Bible to all church leaders. It is a phenomenal, practical Bible that has really enriched my ministry.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

ESV ...... and of course the KEV (King Epley Version)

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Kinda like the degree you got. You got it on sale. Way, way, way, on sale. Shall I continue?

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

KJV most of the time.
I cut my teeth on it, it speaks to me. :D

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Thanks. Was not familiar with the English Standard Verison.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

My favorite is the KJV. My Bible program has 13 different translations, including the NIV (Normally Incorrect Version) and The Message (It's ok, but I can't say I prefer it.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I use whichever version seems to line up best with what I believe! :)

You're on a roll today, PM.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

LOL, That is like the guy who said he would quote the Greek if it supported what he wanted it to say. If not he could always go to other versions, marginal renderings, websters or commentary. I actually heard a preacher say he went to websters but could not find what he wanted, then went to an unabridged dictionary down to the 6th definition. He was looking up the word "fear" and finally liked "run from in stark terror."

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

You and Bro. Larry!

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

:D Thought it. Figured I'd save it for someone else to use. :D I figure I'm fixin to have me a bunch of fun with 1Cor if he starts a pushin too much. :evilglee

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I mostly read The KJV,but I really like The NKJV because it is similar to the KJV,but easier to understand in places.
I also use the ESV,AMP.NASB,NIV but I really stick with the KJV,and NKJV.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

NASB, its very close to the Greek.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

NASB is very literal,but it uses a different text that The KJV,NKJV I understand it's based on The Alexandria text I use one too though.
I've about wore out mine put out by The Lockman Foundation.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Its also very similar to the Spanish bible I grew up using, Reina Valera.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

KJV. I love it, though I wish I had one with a concordance. Bibles are so expensive. I really can't figure that out.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

His footnotes?

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

For bible reading I use the NKJV, for study or apologetics I often use the ESV or the NET along with the KJV to show differences

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Sister get a Strong's concordance,you can obtain one fairly cheaply.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Prax, don't make me try to spell his name. It is greek both first and last name. I think the last edition was called the "key word study bible."

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Zodhaites?

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I read and study from the KJV. Old habits die hard.

But I often look up other translations if I want more of an undestanding of the text. I have an inductive study Bible in the NASV. I hated it at first but now I've gotten use to it and don't mind it so much.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Kay Arthur's notes?

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

Yes. I also have her book on inductive study, How to Study the Bible. It's a very good tool.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I have a KJV Zodidates bible myself,the lexical tools are very good.

Re: What version and Bible do you use, Why?
 

I like the bibles that broadman holman puts out.
