The most accurate of course would be the original Bible, which was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and the Greek languages and all formal translations of the original books. A formal translation tries to match the original words in English. There are two, these are the Revised Standard Version and American Standard Version but they are a little bit awkward to read. There are other versions, which are less formal and good to read. They are the New International Version with apocrypha and the New American Bible.
There is another type of translation. It is called dynamic equivalence, which matches the thought rather than the words of the original. They are the Good News Bible and the Today's English Version. I use the Good News Bible for my meditation and pastoral work because it is written in modern English.
Peace and every blessing!

King James Version

The original King James version 1611 edition but it is very hard to read since it was written in old english. It has 15 additional books called Aprocrypha besides the old and new testaments. The regular King James version was reprinted in 1912 using a more modern english and about 1967 the new king james version was printed which uses the modern day english.

The King James Version, or New King James if you do not want the archaic wording. You can cross reference each word in the original language using a Strong's Concordance or Young's Interlinear. All words NOT in the original text will be italicized.

The king James version is the most popular, but like it or not, it has books removed and maniupulated, therefore, it is not entirely accurate. The Catholic bible which contains both New and Old testaments in their entirety is the most accurate.

You are asking for subjective opinions. I prefer modern language Bibles. Jesus didn't speak the King's English and there is not reason we should think Elizabethan English conveys the true meaning any more than modern English.

none, that is really more of an opinion, there is no accurate bible. How would we knoe. My advise to you is read it if you are religious and learn from the stroies but don't listen to everything it says in it and don't become 1 of those crazy people who are obsessed with it and become hatefull people from it.

The Catholic Bible.....Protestant's removed some "unessential" books. So, the Catholic Bible is probably the closest to the original version..

The New Testament at the time of Jesus Christ is advisable for us know,however all verses in the bible are very important for us Christians.
