btw, I am making a project of reading through the entire King James Version and New International Version of the Bible. I have read through Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Job, and am party through Deuteronomy in both Bibles.
I’ve read the KJV at least five times total, with many other books a lot more than that. The poetic language really makes each book sound much more incredible.
I agree. The KJV is the Bible I grew up with. It just sound right to me. However there are areas where it is rather difficult to understand and it uses many words that have are no longer used and some that have changed meaning since the KJV was translated.
I’ve read NKJV, NIV, and NASB once each. NKJV is the best of those three in both accuracy and translation.
I have heard that the NASB is the most accurate. But I have no idea if that is true.
