Memorizing Sacred Scripture has always interested me. The problem, like you say, is that there are many translations, and I never know which would be best to memorize. Plus, there's the fact that Scripture is so huge, and choosing which part to memorize is just as big a task as actually memorizing, for me at least. Then there's the issue of practicality. Do the benefits of memorizing large portions of Scripture outweigh the downsides, such as limiting yourself to one translation, the chance that you will forget over time, the loss of all that time you spent memorizing that could have spent, say, on reading textbooks (
), etc. I will admit, however, that a few portions of Scripture, in particular, have stuck out in my mind as worthy of memorization. These include the book of Ecclesiastes, possibly some of the other books of wisdom, as well as certain Psalms, such as the 51st and 119th (although I've never been a huge fan of the 25th, for some reason).
) I see that it does not express things as good as the Romanian Bible does. So I start comparing the English translations to see which one does come close to the expression used in my mother tongue. And so far, I had to put few English translations together, to get the same expression used in the Romanian Bible. 
If you're not raised in the KJV, it's not recognizable. Fornication and adultery mean the same thing, but people actually know what adultery means. Where I come from, we call spades shovels so people know what we're talking about.
Except that's not really English anymore.
