I for one use the KJV although it's hard for me to read it (I'm not good with ye, thou, and so forth.) i LOVE the recovery version NT because of the great footnotes and it's so easy to read. you can get one free here online like i did. no shipping cost either lol.

anyways and lastly i like the jerusalem Bible (I'm catholic.) i love 2 maccabees. it's a great and accurate Bible.

i refuse to use the NIV because it says in one verse that homosexuals won't seek the kingdom of heaven but that verse really doesn't say that in greek at all. so i refuse to read NIV. but hey, maybe that's just a small error and maybe it is good lol.

as a catholic i use my catholic bible a lot. but i do love my recovery version.. it's awesome.

so what about you?

I have three. A NIV, which is all my bookstore had, a ST. Joseph (a catholic bible) bought by my parents, and a very old Catholic bible from my gradmother. (it's huge and has an encyclopedia in the back)

The NIV Student Bible is great for me. It's easy to read, yet not "dumbed down." It has great footnotes and highlights.

But, to each his own way. Have a great day!

I use four translations concurrently.
King James
New American Standard
New Living Translation
The Message.

When I do a deep study, I have all four translations out before me, and I read all of them.

For relaxed reading, I usually turn to the New American Standard. It is a literal translation, word for word, whereas the NLT and the Message is paraphrased.

It's a personal choice. I suggest you get several translations and read all of them. Compare the Scriptures. I get "fed" from all of them.

I have many Bibles, my favorite is "The New American Bible". It's in plain English and isn't confusing. It's actually a Catholic Bible though.

The NBV (Nieuwe Bijbel Vertaling), sorry, I'm Dutch! My version is easy to read and has some 'translation' errors which are in most Catholic versions (and not in KJV), but I'm aware of them so I don't fall over them any more.

The New American Standard and the Amplified editions are clear and not hard to understand.I have been mostly using the Amplified version lately.
