Whats Vulgate? Isint that in Latin?

Yup. St. Jerome's translation of the original text in the 4th century I believe. And the Douay-Rheims is a translation of the Vulgate, I think in the 16th century into English. It is believed by some to be the most accurate translation in English because they believe that the Vulgate is the most accurate translation of all; because St Jerome had the best versions of the original texts, and even in some cases THE original texts to translate with; so no/less copy-errors were involved.

I can't stand English. Read it from Latin and it flows much better.

Well...other than English being my native tongue; I agree that it is not good for Bible translation.

NKJV for me NIV for wife

 

[Zoomer]

I use the NIV, RSV, & the NRSV. I also own a KJV mainly for witnessing to Mormons since that is the only one they will use "in so far as it is translated correctly". I also use an online Bible to read verses in different translations.

This poll needs more options.

Why link KJV and NKJV? Granted they are related.

Also, why combine NASB and NAB? These two have nothing in common other than a similar name.

I have a NIV translation which for me has been the easiest to read. Just about everyone in my church (Vineyard) has NIV, there is even a joke about NIV being an acronym for Nessacary In Vineyard

New Living Translation.

Indeed. But people don't always want to interpret it with God's help. There are more than a few who have no problem twisting it to agree with whatever they want to believe (even Satan does this)

 

[Ave Maria]

I voted NIV because I use it more often than the KJV. I do have a NKJV but the lettering is so small that I rarely ever use it. I am planning on buying a bigger one before too long. Anyway, I recently bought a HCSB that I am beginning to use more and more. I really love this translation!

 

[Anti-Fear]

I possess: NIV, NLV, NRSV, KJV, NKJV in book format.
I also have many more by using ESword software.

I find KJV and NKJV best for reading. I like their language style. I usually read NKJV, then double check those passages I am not sure about in KJV.

I own KJV, NKJV, NIV, and NLT Bibles.. I primarily use my NIV ones.. I have Study Bibles. As far as the NLT, there was a scipture my dad asked me to look up once, and I grabbed my NLT to look it up and it had left out a significant part of the verse. I looked in my KJV and NIV and the whole scipture was in those.. so after that, I have my NLT and KJV Bibles open together while studying. As far as the brands...

Oops! Sorry guys! I posted a similar poll in this forum but didn't see this one. All well, my poll includes more versions of the Bible. Anyway, I apologize for that!

 

[GL2814]

NIV-Near Inerrant Version.

 

[ShaunJ]

I use the NKJV and the NIV.

I read the NIV study bible the most so I chose that on the poll.

The original Aramaic Peshitta New Testament. The proof of this Bible are given freely on my website, which Lamsa, Ericco etc have not done.
