I prefer to use KJV version for studies and pondering scripture a little more deeply. I think the paraphrases are good for new believers but they can sometimes lose the original meaning of the scripture. I also like the Amplified, I have found this version good for preparing group studies and sermons.

JOKE POLICE

LOL, of course! The standard by which all other translations are judged. I figured that was common knowledge.

NearertoGod

I think whatever fits your personal tastes, likes, and dislikes.

I do read the King James Version from time to time. I mostly do New Living Translation just for the simplicity, I haven't tried New King James Version yet...I want to.

The next Bible I may purchase is the Greek or Hebrew Bible with the English text also, just to see how much different it its.

My grandmother likes the Application Study Bibles, she just got a New International Version Study Bible because another she had gotten wasn't the version she preferred.
