What is your favorite Bible version? Why is it your favorite? This question has not been asked in the past 12 months. Many of us have previously addressed this question on the forum, but many have not. Whether you have or not, I invite you to tell us: what is your favorite Bible version and why? A Happy New Year to all! Grace to you, Kalos |

2 | What's your favorite Bible version? Why? | Deut 4:2 | Mommapbs | 140966 | ||
Happy New Year Kalos - I enjoy the NASB for personal study, "The Message" for pleasure reading, and "God's Word" for another perspective . . . I am not keen on the KJV or the NIV. I believe that we need to do more than "read"- we need to "chew" or meditate upon what God has revealed in His Word. When I read from different versions I often gain a different perspective which prompts me to seek God's counsel for ME in what I am reading. At times I suspect we tend to see what "others need" rather than what God wants to give US! And your preferred version is? Blessings, mommapbs PS: At times I wish I could read Greek - I'm thankful for members like Tim Moran here! |

Mommapbs: My two favorite Bible versions are: [] New American Standard Bible [] New King James Version These two are the ones that I trust the most. I love the NASB for its accuracy and the NKJV because it retains -- as much as possible in a modern translation -- the beauty of language of the KJV. The NKJV is also a very literal, accurate translation. Like you, I enjoy using different versions for different purposes. My preferences are: [] for study: NASB [] for general reading: ESV [] for devotional reading: HCSB [] for reading aloud (e.g., at church): NKJV Another translation I enjoy is the New International Reader's Version. It is easily understood, readable and trustworthy. I agree that reading from different versions is a profitable practice. If one (such as myself) cannot read Greek, the next best thing may be to read the same passage in various translations. I share your appreciation for Tim Moran and other members who, like him, give us scripturally supported facts rather than mere speculation. Grace to you, Kalos |
