I use the NIV and have notes to help ensure translations are good when I am made aware that the difference makes a difference. My wife likes the Living Bible because it is easy to read and understand.

Most of the real differences in translations can be taken into account while reading words that I grew up learning in school.

This is very surprising to me - I figured the NIV had taken the lead by a lot. I use English Standard Version, NIV, Holman and a couple of others. KJV is certainly poetic.

For anyone who would like to compare most of the Bibles available today, the free software and free downloadable Bibles, and free reference books at http://www.e-sword.net/ provide a way to cross compare Bible verses between Bibles in a quick and easy manner.

It can save a lot of time and money for those who wish to peruse different Bibles before buying a hardcopy one.

I use e-sword regularly when reading the FR religious forum because I can do quick looks at scripture being quoted (in more than one Bible version).

I highly recommend it.

Excellent find. Seems older is better for most or more reliable. I personally keep the KJV, NASB and NKJV close by for daily reading and study. With websites like Biblegateway.com and APPs like YouVersion, it is easy to switch between multiple versions during study.
