what’s the best version of the Bible in english?
I want to know what’s the best version of the Bible? if you could send me that version to my country in mexico? email me if you can, please. I hope your answers.. thanks
The Jeruselum Bible. It reads like a book and has a very faithful translation.
Edit: I can’t believe how many KJ answers you are getting. It is the least correct version still in use; its language is archaic and the only benefit I can imagine for it is it sounds very formal if you wanted to read something traditional at a funeral. The New Revised Standard version (NSRV) is way better than KJ or the New KJ; NIV i snot bad but those that say stick with King James – that’s scray. The know errors in that version stand at over 8,000.
Here is a quote from one of the links below:
Second, the Greek text which stands behind the King James Bible is demonstrably inferior in certain places. The man who edited the text was a Roman Catholic priest and humanist named Erasmus.1 He was under pressure to get it to the press as soon as possible since (…) Consequently, his edition has been called the most poorly edited volume in all of literature!
