Bible Question: There are so many new "versions" of the bible today. I have always used the King James Version but found it hard to understand. I have crossed referenced NIV and Amplified...however, when you here people "quote" the bible they use the King James Versions...Do I use both to study???? |
Bible Answer: In this Note I am not attempting to tell you what is the best Bible version. I am limiting myself to your specific question: "Do I use both to study?" In my opinion, I recommend that whenever you do a Bible word study, you have on hand the following three translations: a) King James or New King James; b) the New American Standard Bible or the English Standard Version; and c) a good colloquial translation, such as the New Living Translation (NLT) or Today's English Version (also known as the Good News Bible).
