Hi Ireland welcome to the forum,

I use the NKJV,NASB and recently like yourself have been using ESV. I also have the CEV which I use with my daughter.

Hi Ireland
Recently converted to ESV from NIV. I cross reference with RSV and KJV.

 

[Irishcat922]

I personally like the NIV for general reading, and the NKJV for study. Our Pastor and Elders use the ESV. I know there is a lot of debate about the interpretation method in regards to the NIV but I still like the way it reads. I have a copy of the Reformation study Bible that I simply love. It is jam-packed with great reformed notes and it uses all the great confessions in its study system.

I only use the KJV because newer versions after KJV some of the scripture isn't the same meaning.

 

[eutychus]

NASB - personal study
ESV - witnessing
NLT/The Message/above translations - leading Bible study

Amen!!

NASB right now. Our church uses the NIV alot, but I much prefer the NASB for personal reading. I'm wanting next to get the ESV; was reading that at the bookstore, and I liked it too. I have a NKJV bible but I don't use it much anymore. It's a Nelson's Study Bible, and I don't agree with some of the study notes anymore....

I use the KJV and the NKJV, I dislike the way in which the NIV and other like translations read. I also find it irresponible for the Christian world to promote more then one manuscript and claim they're 'all' the word of God.

I primarily use the NKJV in the New Geneva Study Bible. As Irishcat said, it is full of interesting information that clarifies so many aspects of Scripture. I absolutely love the theological notes.

God bless

I agree, the New Geneva (I don't know why they changed the name) is very helpful.

I use the NAS, ESV, and MKJV, and cross-reference with all of the ones I have on my computer (which is bunches!).

I prefer the NASB study bible or the ESV.

When I want to study the Apocrypha, the NRSV. Or if I'm in a really historical mood I'll look up the KJV Apocrypha.

Although I was raised on the NIV and my current church uses it as the pew bible, I really dislike the language of the NIV.

 

[j-boot]

I use the NASB for study and the ESV for a reading bible. I don't personally care for the NIV or the NRSV, but that is just me, and I still use them sometimes. When I'm feeling especially scholarly (or just anachronistic and cranky), I read the KJV1611 or the Geneva.

The only bible I would actually avoid is The Message. Yuk!

I love the English Majority Text Version for the New Testament and anything thats based on the Masoretic for the Old

I checked out the new jerusalem bible from the library a few months ago-- I really liked it alot also!! I would also like to get that one for my library some day....

I'm glad to see there are others out there that don't like how the NIV reads! Our church uses that one quite alot but I just don't care for it. It seems kinda, well, dry I guess. Maybe it's just me....


As for a lousy version, have you all heard about the bible "The Word On The Street"? OH MY ___! It's awful.....!!! I'd take "The Message" bible any day over that one!!!
There's another one out there that someone in UT mentioned also----they actually changed the apostles names(peter is now "rocky"),and there is cuss words in it. It also did away with the pesky references to monogamy and marriage....... It's a sad state of the world when you get bible versions like this in the world...

I've heard that a Reformed Study Bible in the ESV was in the works, anyone know anything about it?
