Title: Which one?
Post by: His_child on May 11, 2004, 10:00:30 AM
Sorry, I know I didn't get all of them listed.
Which translation do you prefer and why?

I like all of the above!  But them my approach is ecclectic.  Hence, I prefer the ESV.  It has the poetic beauty of the KJV, but the modern vernacular my simple mind can understand.   :)

The KJV. It is the one that brought me to the wonderful power of Jesus' love for us.

I do use others also.

I used the KJV Bible.I also read the NLT, if I don't understand
a verse, it helps.Some pastors quote,out of the NLT.

King James Version
with
NLT (New Living Testament) as a reference

AND:

Modern King James Version
American Standard Version

mostly

but I have quite a few others.

I guess I use the King James because it has been widely accepted for quite a while, but I like the New Living Testament for ease of reading when I can't get something in KJV. American Standard Version is nice and Modern King James is also.

I mainly use the NIV because I find the translation easy to understand. I really like the KJV because I love the language used in it but i don't have one of my own.

Old Testament:

The Torah (The Law), The Nevi'im (The Prophets), and The Kethuvim (The Writings) as published by the Judaic Society of America.

New Testament:

Usually KJV, occasionally NKJV or GNB.

I don't particularly care for the NIV or NLT.
