By the way, if anyone is looking for a great English translation in more modern English - you might try the ESV (English Standard Version). It seems to retain the granduer of the KJV, is highly readable, and seems to be faithfully translated from texts the KJV only crowd would still favour. I still preach primarily from the KJV but refer to the ESV often.

I just bought a couple of ESV versions after reading a great article by Mark Driscol, the famous Seattle Pastor who gets himself in hot water for his outspokeness in a city that embraces a PC view only.
Here is the article:
