What Bible translation do you use and why? Do you use a different translation or paraphrase for devotional reading than you do for Bible study?

I will use the CWSB that is the complete word study bible and back it up with many other translations, KJV, NLT, AMPC, also the Message bible. I really enjoy reading the message bible because it is broken down into everyday common language that anyone from the states can understand.

I will utilize all of the suggested tools to study the bible, bible concordance, bible translator, in addition to all of the suggested tools, it also depends on what is being studied and how deep I would be going in my studies as well.

So I use three translations fairly regularly. My primary is the CSB. but I also uses the NIV and the NET. It depends on what I am looking for I think, but different verses just feel different in each translation. As for this course, I am leaning toward the CSB, but am not locked in 100% just yet.

I use the New International Version of the Bible because I can both understand and apply this version to my daily living.

I use the New King James translation because it is easier to read than the original King James version. Yes, I use the Daily Bread daily devotion which, I believe, uses the NIV translation. Now that I’ve learned the importance of the tools that are needed for more effective Bible Study, I will use the NIV Study Bible for this course and from now on, along with the NKJV.
