What is the best Bible translation and why?
Whatever one you have with you when you need to read it. I like the Amplified and the New American Standard. I also use Bible Hub a lot. You get most versions (not Amplified for some reason). Sometimes one version just nails it while another leaves you wondering what it means. If I was only able to have one version, it would be the Amplified. It is accurate and gives a good sense of what the verse means, not just what it says. That is quite as feat. I used to use the NIV but it's like a blunt knife a lot of the time. It's too much interpretation and not enough translation, if you get what I mean.What is the best Bible translation and why?

Most translations come in both versions. For example, the RSV comes in RSV and RSV-CE. The truth is that Bibles are also a business, and Catholics are a big part of that, so publishers don't want to miss out. Also, there is much that is profitable in the books, even if Protestants don't consider them Canon. Most NIV, RSV, NKJV, KJV, ESV, etc. won't have them, or if they are more comprehensive, they might have them in a separate "Apocrypha" section, or they will have the "CE" in the name or say "Catholic Edition" on them.Are any of these complete without the books protestants deemed deuterocanonical?

The best Bible translation is the one you are most comfortable reading. If you regularly read the Gospels and try to live your life as best you can according to what Jesus has said then you are not far from the Kingdom of Heaven.What is the best Bible translation and why?
