I think the ESV and RSV are good translations..... but, I must admit to preferring the GWT for enjoyable reading. AND... I really enjoyed reading "The Story", though it certainly is not for study.

Hello, I've been trying to look into the most appropriate Bible for both accuracy and meaning. But find the KJV is laid out the best but not as accurate. I like it's number layout etc. The NIV is too lengthy and cheap in layout for me. The ESV is a nice size and nice content explanation etc, but awful in number layout. It's paragraph layout so verse remembering is near impossible.

Without having to buy every Bible on the market, does anyone know the most accurate, best laid out, decent meaning Bible that is translated properly. As none of my Bibles have the word slave for Jesus, they have servant. That's not accurate apparently.
I just want a decent, truthful Bible. Is it too much to ask? Is there one?
