Personally I use the NIV mostly, occasionally I use the NLT.

I am currently reading through the entire Bible using the NLT. I just started doing it a few days ago. I'm not getting very far yet but I'm working on it a few chapters at a time.

NIV and ESV

NIV in the main, because thats also what we use at church, but I've got a New English in my locker at work, a Good News by my bed, and I use the KJV at leats once a week

I also make use of the NLT and The Message quite often

But Primarily the NIV

I love my Life Application Study Bible (NIV).

jsimms615 · Dec 5, 2007

NASB and NIV. I think it is interesting that we have so many NIV votes.

KJV and the Holman Christian Standard Apologetics Study Bible.

kjv~not really on purpose, it's just the version my first bible is. It turns 20 years old this Christmas, has all my best notes, don't see giving it up anytime soon, though I'd better get some duct tape on it sometime

Wifey uses amplified~I do like the nkjv, got a thompson chain-reference but it was so big I got tired of hauling it to church so it sits on the shelf as reference though I don't pick it up much~maybe I should pass it along...

I started out with a NIV and about two years in my walk I recieved a NKJV and I love this version best. We do read out of alot of others also.

I mainly use the NIV. I've also used the NLT and recently gotten hold of an HCSB Aplologetics Study Bible.

I prefer, and use the most often, the NKJV. However, I also have the NET Bible on my computer, as well as the e-sword program which has the NIV, the KJV, the ESV, the NASB, and the HCSB translations in that program. ALL of those versions are excellent, but the version I prefer the most is the New King James Version.

The NKJV is based on the textus receptus with variants in the margin from earlier manuscripts. The NKJV follows the KJV most of the time. The NASV is based on the critical text and the ASV (1901) edition. The NASV is more accurate than the NKJV. But both are good translations.

Merry Christmas

I only use KJV.

abelieverinChrist05 · Dec 24, 2007

I always use the KJV and the RV60

BAFRIEND · Dec 24, 2007

Duay-Rheims.

Antigone · Dec 25, 2007

A Dutch one.

But when I use an English one I use the KJV, not because I think it's superior in any way - I just like the language better.

I voted NIV, which made the two NIV and KJV tied up at 16

Have you formed an opinion on the HCSB-ASB yet? I picked one up in November, and so far am satisfied with it. Definitely beats the NIV, IMHO.

I have three bibles that I read from, and all of them are Holman Christian Standard. I like how it doesn't use all the old time-y words I have to look up the definitions to.
