What bible translation do you use?

[Reformedjason]

I was wondering what translation you use. I love the NIV84' , but to be more literal in my studies I have been using the ESV. I have the NASB, the niv2011, NKJV, the NLT, and the KJV. I love the written word and have many bibles.

 

[john832]

KJV, NKJV, Diaglott, HSB, and most others. I prefer the KJV and NKJV.

 

[ShyForHim]

NLT and NKJV for English and RVR1960 for Spanish.

i like the side by side multi-translation bibles the best. i was raised on old king james though and it has a special place in my heart parallel bibles are great for understanding where everyone else is coming from

I wanted to know about the people on now , not some old thread. Sorry.

 

[Tintin]

Well, the most recent thread was only from a few weeks ago, so it wasn't old. What I said still applies here.

 

[Bookends]

NkJV, NASB, AMP, Expanded Bible, KJV w.Strongs, HCSB, NIV Study Bible (in order of most used to least).

I use the KJV and the NKJV... I am however looking into other translations.

 

[crossnote]

The Wuest (NT) is pretty good for picking out some of the nuances of the Greek.

 

[Reformedjason]

Cool , there are some different ones I need to check out

This goes for a number of other topics as well and it only takes a minute or so to do a search...

 

[didymos]

NBG'51, it's dutch...
I also use other translations and the original greek (Nestle-Aland) and hebrew (BHS) texts when I study scripture though.

 

[Blase-and-Blithe]

Ignatius Revised Standard Version Second Edition

The New American Bible

 

[Saki]

I use a NLT bible called The Way, which is like a devotional in that it provides reminders and tips on how to apply scripture into your everyday life and how to live in the way, Jesus' way.

kjv and nkjv

 

[Mooky]

I used to use the New Living Translation - which is like a paraphrase, but now I go for the NKJV (audio) or the ESV - a word for word translation which is true to the text but understandable

So then they can be warned about resurrecting old threads?

If we eliminated new threads based on the subject being covered by old threads, this place would be pretty empty of new threads.

To answer the question, I reference and compare as many different translations as I can, and don't rely exclusively on any one of them.
