This is a smart approach. www.blueletterbible.org is a great tool for the original language things. I have a Greek course but I haven't started it yet..Bill Mounces.
Which bible version why ?

The best translation in my opinion is the new Apostolic Bible Polyglot translation into English. It translates the Greek Septuagint into English in a very beautiful translation. The Greek Septuagint was the Old and New Testament BOTH in Greek, so it is nice to see the same words being used throughout the Old and the New testament making it very clear, and it is also interlinear, so you see the Greek words above each English word, so it brings you closer to the very original meaning of the text. Look it up at The Apostolic Bible Polyglot - Interlinear Greek Septuagint (LXX) & Greek New testamentt . You can also find it for free online at ABP_Strongs - Apostolic Bible Polyglot English Text .
I like KJV while it may not be perfect it has by far the most resources to back it up.
Some argue that they are not the earliest manuscripts and that is true. But older does not automatically mean right. The KJV has way more backing and some of the verses that the older manuscripts don't have are still found in letters that predate. So in the end I go with the weight of evidence and KJV has it.
I will say you can find truth in many translations.

This guy is a KJV only person as well. He also believes if you don't hear the word of God from the KJV then you aren't truly a Christian. He is a stand up Pastor.

I know you're not asking me, sparkman, but it's pricey. At least, everything from Logos I've priced has been.
If I were you, I'd get the basics from the Mounce book and then use Biblearc, either at the website or with the app, though Blue Letter Bible is good, as you have said. I don't use the arcing function - or haven't yet - I like to use "Lookup" function, which has the latest Nestle-Aland Greek NT, the 28th Edition, which gives me the verb forms and what not. Of course, if you have the basics of NT Greek, you'll be able to identify them anyway. I need a refresher course (or get a good handle on it for the first time) - Mounce looks good.

I personally use a NKJV for study and a KJV + Strongs + Thayers (e-sword) for deeper study
Has the least amount of tainting from the corrupted alexandrian manuscripts
Logos is horribly expensive

You guys are doing it all wrong. The bible says if a man speak in an unknown tongue which ancient Greek and Hebrew are... I don't know it, yall don't know it and neither does any one else, but if any man speak in an unknown tongue then One should interpret. It's our job to determine which one is the real one.
