All scriptural memorization that I have is KJV, so I sometimes feel somewhat "annoyed" when I'm reading other versions and I get to a verse I have memorized, as stupid as that may be.
Be that as it may, I sometimes feel like I'm missing the intent of some scriptures because of differences in modern English and KJV English. What translation would you suggest as an easier to read, but still very accurate translation of the scriptures?
All answers welcome, even "the Message Bible"
, which is as accurate as a slingshot at 300 yards.
