I'll never stray too far from my KJV but did order a pew edition of the CSB for 2022.
Pew edition is sturdy but cheap. I paid 17$ for it. It's a nice way to try it out without breaking the bank.What is the difference between a pew edition and the regular CSB?

Not that I can see from the details on Amazon.So there is no difference in the text?
Depends. I prefer the TR and MT (knowing they are different but from the same family of MSS).I often use the ISV (International Standard Version).
Edit: now I see the chart above. The Modern English Version looks good, too, but is sole reliance on the Textus Receptus and Jacob ben Hayyim texts ideal?
I'm glad you mentioned the ISV and MEV. I do like the MEV and recommend it to anyone who prefers the Texts Receptus and to anyone who wants an accurate formal translation. But it is not as readable as the CSB that I suggested earlier.I often use the ISV (International Standard Version). Edit: now I see the chart above.

Why Geneva? It's an unusual choice.I chose NKJV for the poll, but in reality I use NKJV, Geneva, and ESV together, with others thrown in depending on my goal for the reading.
How do you rate the ISV? What do you like about it compared to other translations?
It has great notes from the exiled English and Scottish Reformers in Geneva, predates the KJV (arguably the KJV was created as a reaction to the Geneva's sometimes anti-monarchial study notes) and it was the choice of the Puritans. It is actually a very good translation, I thoroughly enjoy reading it for a first hand look at what the Geneva Reformers were thinking.Why Geneva? It's an unusual choice.
Not digging the NKJV for memorization like I thought I would and might go back to the KJV.
In your opinion, what makes the KJV superior to the Geneva?It's official...back to the KJV!
I wouldn't say it's superior I just prefer it and have been using it for 20 plus years at this point. The Geneva is not a widely used translation or I may have picked it up years ago.In your opinion, what makes the KJV superior to the Geneva?
Makes sense. I swapped to the CSB recently, after picking up a Spurgeon Study Bible in that version. Geneva is my take-to-church Bible, however.I wouldn't say it's superior I just prefer it and have been using it for 20 plus years at this point.
