| - | I have many translations, some worn beoynd convenience for continued regular use. The NIV (especially the updated), seems readable and true the original texts. I like cross-references to Strongs & available tables with Hebrew & Greek origins. Maps are helpful, especially for the OT. I am currently using the NSB Study Bible, which has many fine tools, including an online tool. For kids and new believers, I still like Eugene Peterson's The Message. It is a great understandable paraphrase without all the jargon we tend to mix into our conversations for conversions. Lastly, I highly recommend using the internet, with many searchable Bibles, side-by-side version comparisons, and reliable interpretations of various expositors from our Christian heritage to current Biblical teachers. Playing out the Greek or Hebrew root words for my ear is helpful & seeing extensive definitions of these gives me a depth of understanding that no one translation can bring.Above all, I challenge us to study our Bibles. How can we take in all of the sin before us on TV for an hour or two or more every day, and not take even a few minutes EVERY DAY to study the Word of God?May the Lord bless you each and every minute you take to seek the Truth of His Word and apply it to your days.Lord, Jesus Christ, come soon~!
