Which bible version do you use?

[Neostarwcc]

I personally use the NIV, KJV, and the ESV. Which bible version do you use and why

 

[Call me Nic]

KJV.

 

[HereIStand]

Mostly the ESV and NRSV. They are both used at church.

I like the ESV as well. Its a good translation.

 

[ripple the car]

Douay-Rhimes, KJV, NKJV, Catholic NAB.

I still really like the KJV. I would recommend that for Protestants before anything else. It's conservative, literal, beautiful, and easy to memorize.

I find the NIV easier to read than the KJV.

 

[Not David]

NIV. However, I read the Reina-Valera edition when I read in Spanish.

 

[Doug Melven]

I use KJV for study and NKJV for reading.
But I also use Biblehub and Biblegateway both of which have many translations.

RSVce, the Catholic edition of the RSV. It is a reasonably precise translation. It is reasonably modern. It is a translation that is old enough that it has not gone all gender goofy. The Catholic edition fixed some mistakes in the base RSV. I can trust it to be above average in quality. There are study guides being written for it and a whole Ignatius Study Bible using that text is almost complete. And for years the Vatican has been using it as their main English language Bible.

I don't use the KJV because it is too archaic. I don't use the NIV because the translators did have their biases. And the ESV is one that I might consider.

You didn't tell us why.

I speak English from Florida.
The KJV is a foreign language to me.

 

[faroukfarouk]

KJV. I like the format of the KJ21 also.

Isn't there a tattoo Bible?

Would you mind adjusting the post to allow multiple choices? I think it would reflect your opinion, and many others, better

How do I do that?

 

[seeking.IAM]

NIV for its readability.

I personally use the NIV, KJV, and the ESV. Which bible version do you use and why

I use the NIV for quoting in easy-to-understand English and listening, the KJV for memorizing any passages (especially the Psalms and Wisdom books, no other version is as amazing there to me), the LEB for a literal translation, and the DRA for my new main study translation and quoting since I found this site. Also since I have it (I also have an NIV and KJV), my Orthodox Study Bible, and I'll be getting an NRSV + Apocrypha soon.

How do I do that?

If you go to edit the post it should give an option to select multiple choices.

ah! I found it! Done. Thanks!

 

[tampasteve]

I usually use KJV and ESV, and sometimes a NIV/NKJV side by side. I also have started using a RSV Lutheran study Bible that I have taken a liking to.

*edit
I also use Artscroll tanach frequently for the Jewish Scriptures.
