Well as having around 30 something translation and paraphased additions, and comparing to many different sources:
i think that the American Standard 1901 Version is very very good.
King James 1611 is very good
NASB would be a good one also
i have a 1534 Tyndale New testement that is really good also...
But all in all : read the word be faithful and trust God; for HE will lead you to the right translation, and well as and more importantly;;;
what it means..amen ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Hubby swears by the KJV, I prefer the NKJV. I thought I would like the New Life Applicaton, until I read the reviews here on this board...
Thanks everyone!

If one really wants to go deeper into the study of God's Word, I would suggest the NETB with its 53,000 footnotes on translation. It is step up from reading the Greek itself.
The churches seems to use the NIV or NKJV and these are the ones I generally bring with me to church.
I used to read a different version every year for the past 30 years. It seems that each one of them has something to offer.

For study I use NASB and The Amplified Bible.
I use NKJV for sermons.
I like the NLT for reading.
I just love God's Word in all different translations.

I must admit I like either the New International Version or the Authorised version. ![[Bible]](graemlins/bible.gif)

I'm on the NASB bandwagon as well. My pastor is a Greek professor at a local seminary (He prefers the NASB as well). He delves deeply into the original context and language as he teaches us verse by verse through a Book from the pulpit - sometimes he only makes it through three or four verses on a Sunday morning :-). He does the same in the pre-service Bible study and the Wednesday night study. I love it because it opens up the full meaning and significance of the Word in a way that really brings it alive for me. Sitting under this type of teaching, the NASB has consistently proven itself to me that it is faithful to the meaning intended by the language of the original manuscripts.
As a woman, my favorite Study Bible is Kay Arthur's Precept Study Bible. It is very helpful for really drilling down into the Word. It encourages a patient and focused consideration of the context, historical setting, tie-ins to the OT scripture and has a lot of word studies that add clarity. It's amazing how much we can skip over when we read without diligent care!

I also like the NASB for study, and the NJKV for reading fromthe pulpit. I tend to use several translations during studies. AMG publishes a "Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible" in several translations (NIV, NASB, KJV, etc) and includes dictionaries, lexicons, concordnance, cross references, study notes, etc. etc.
It's been a very helpful addition to my library.

I also prefer the NASB because to me it catches more of the nuances of the Greek and Hebrew original languages and also shows you exactly what words were inserted to make it more readable in the English language. I prefer the Zondervan study Bible as it seems to have good notes that are not too oriented to one particular view of interpretation.

I personally prefer NASB, but NKJ is pretty good, too. I'd recommend the Ryrie Study Bible. It's the one I use, as do several people I know, and they all like it.
