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?

[Austin]

KJV- as that is what l grew up with
NIV- was the Bible l studied with next
NKJV- l have discovered from ODB/ devotional
ESV – for You Version activity /devotional
NLT- Life Application / commentary
The Message- occasionally to help others searching

NKJV/NIV/NLT/ & ESV – for online listening

[Austin]

I generally use the NIV although I also am inspired by NKJV. I use them interchangeably.

[Austin]

I use the John Macarthur NKJV Study Bible, and I do not use any other translation. This will be the one I will use for this course.

[Austin]

The NIV is my go-to translation. However, for bible study, I use the NKJV. For this course, I would use the NIV.

[Austin]

The Bible translations I am using are The Holman Christian Standard Bible and Thomas Nelson New King James Version. I found them easier to comprehend.
I am using the same Bible translations for my devotional reading and my Bible study.
For this course I will be using the same Bible translation and the
book recommend “How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth.
