May I suggest you look into: Literal Translation of the Holy Bible - LITV -This is another 'translation' that aims for accuracy, but it also leaves much interpretation up to the reader. This is why it is always best to pray before we read the Bible. The argument of which ancient manuscript is superior is in itself an ancient argument. Primarily, we have two sources of documents to choose from when we attempt to translate from the original manuscripts. There are Alexandrian texts and Byzantine texts. Each have their own set of followers, (called 'prioritists') with their own justifications for their loyalties. One side goes with the case of majority (sheer number of documents in existence), and the other side proclaims age is the factor, (since 'theirs' was on the scene first.) The argument that the original manuscripts are without error is a moot point, since there are simply no original manuscripts in existence today Both sets of documents have errors, however. Yet many of these can be corrected by lining up with the 'other' set of documents. The argument needs to be studied at great length and is referred to as, Westcott and Hort vs. Textus Receptus. Which is Superior? That is up to personal preference, but myself, I think that they support each other and neither one is perfect. May our Lord Bless you in your search for His truth. keliy |

I use 40 translations. The best of them are the NASB for the whole Bible, the Concordant Translation of the New Testament and the Aland 27 for the Greek and English New Testament. The Brenton Septuagint is good compare to the Hebrew texts of the Old Testament. |
