NKJV mostly but others as well when studying. I believe the KJV the better one. Having read the arguments somewhat on translations and manuscripts and checking with Strong's sometimes its why.

New American Standard Bible for study and The message for reading enjoyment are my preferance.
All the recent translations that you'll find in a Christian Bookstore are good. Some are meant as thought-for-thought or paraphrased translations to make for easier reading. Word for word translations more accurately represent the original text.
The most accurate word for word translation would be the NAS and NASU. Most people consider the KJV to be very good, but it can be hard to understand in places. The NIV translates with a dynamic equivalent approach, more of a thought for thought interpretation.
It is best not to argue over translations, but to read the Bible and live its teachings. There are no major differences between the recent translations that would affect any orthodox Christian doctrine. Even the most accurate translation is not helpful if you cannot understand what it's saying.

i exploit the existence utility learn Bible in New residing Translation. it is trouble-free to ascertain. I even have an NIV Bible as an trouble-free examine too, The Message Bible for exciting, and the King James version as a connection with maintain the unique translation intact as mandatory. Have a NKJV yet that's no longer trouble-free to ascertain. I spent very nearly all my existence no longer interpreting the Bible because of the fact my mom had a KJV in the living house -- could no longer examine that. choose trouble-free-to-examine, even no count if it is not an actual translation.

KJV it is closest to the original and some of the newer translations leave the blood out. the bible says with out the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

I read the KJV. It is true from the beginning, to the end. There are no lost books in this Bible. Jesus is the Living word, and the Bible is the written word, and I believe them both.
