How many Bibles do you own?

[korn1]

I have a KJV(was my aunts before she died),ESV(Grade 11 camp and my CEV I use currently.

 

[JeffShott]

I just got an awesome new Bible. It's an HCSB Apologetics Study Bible. So, now I have two Bibles.

 

[REPHAIAHPEDAHEL]

I have one NKJV study bible hard copy and over 30+ other bible translation soft copies!

 

[SilentShadow100]

I own two ESV Bibles, a small pocket Bible, and an Afrikaans Bible (don't ask why).
I own an apocrypha (although I do not currently consider it scripture).
I also have e-Sword, iOS apps, and other virtual Bibles.

I am not 100% sure, but I believe I have an antique medieval Bible somewhere in my house.

*NASB Study Bilbe - Zondervan

New King James Version

 

[Sword of the Lord]

I have 3 1/4 Bibles

King James Version
Apocrypha - King James Version
English Standard Version with Apocrypha

[SummaScriptura]

I have one NKJV study bible hard copy and over 30+ other bible translation soft copies!

All the soft copies we seem to have is mind bongling. I keep hard copies of all the ones I cherish for a couple of reasons:

1. Protracted times of in-depth study I find more satisfying because other things are not a tempting click away.
2 When China takes out our communications satellites, I'll still be able to pursue my studies.

1 NIV
2 KING JAMES
1 NEW KING JAMES

I use some to highlight and some to carry around

There are four, the number I chose in the poll, that I know of owning but there are others around the house, too. I believe most of mine are KJV, and the one I read daily is NKJV, which is a study Bible and I love it. I'd like to do someday, as my mom has, get other versions.

 

[iniaes]

I have the ESV and NIV, and their corresponding Study bibles, KJV and Strongs concordance, NJKV, and AMP. I also have things like the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apocrypha and Nag Hamaddi Scriptures for a more academic appreciation of the Judeo-Christian faiths.

Most of my reading is done in the AMP and ESV versions.

 

[Joy4Him]

I currently don't own a hard copy bible. Been using my iPad since I got saved. I'm working on getting my first bible soon At least I narrowed down my choices, ESV or NKJV, but finding it difficult to choose between the two.

I use my ipad too. I highly reccomend the Olive Tree app as it allows you to look up concurrent passages in multiple bibles as you read, including study bibles and concordances, along with searching. Also their store has a lot of other religious material to enjoy.

 

[PrincetonGuy]

In my study, I have more that 60 different translations (including revisions) of the entire (66 books or more) Bible, and many more translations of the entire New Testament. I also have very numerous additional translations of the individual books of the Bible. In addition to these hardcopy editions, I have many more software editions.

2) LITV Interlinear. Moved on...literally...left it behind when I moved because it was too big and I didn't need it any more.
3) Hebraic Roots New Testament. I burned it.

What I now have:

4) BHS (Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia)
5) NET (Net Bible)
6) Dead Sea Scrolls Bible
