I prefer the King James Version.

I use several just because I like to see the different wordings of the same verse or passage. the ones I use most commonly are the Contemporary English Version (CEV), English Standard Version(ESV) New Living Translation (NLT), the Message (MSG) New International Version (NIV), God's Word(GW), Good News Bible(GNB), the Amplified Bible(AMP) and the King James Version (KJV).

Depends on what I'm using it for.
I have the NLT on my Palm PDA and also one in my backpack/purse. Good for working with those who don't have a High School reading level (like Children and Youth particularly).
My church typically reads from the NIV which is the version supplied in the pew racks.
For deeper study, I use either the NASB or the NASBUpdated.
As a child, I memorized Scripture in the the KJV. I appreciate its vocabulary and meter, but its 17th century English is dated.
I just bought a slimline ESV to read.
The key thing is to read and follow it.

I prefer the New King James Version but also use NLT, NIV, NAS, ISV, and others.
wefmeister is correct... the best version is the one read & obeyed!

Whichever one I have in front of me at the moment.
I like the NASB, but the best version of the Bible is the one you read and obey.

Still looking for one written in the original, dead language.
