King James Version by far.

I've read the RSV all the way through, not so the NRSV. I prefer the RSV I think to the NRSV, but that's like saying I'd rather have Leprosy than Cancer!!!
Like: "GAG ME WITH A BIBLE VERSION!!!"

For that distinction I default to the Biblical scholars I respect most - Marcus Borg, Bart Ehrman, JD Crossan, etc. Those guys all choose the NRSV.

I am not real familiar with the NRSV. Once I realized how innappropriate the Heathen names were Ex.23:13, I went mostly to Jacob Meyers scriptures, which is ASV with the Sacred names inserted, or "The Scriptures" which has the names in Hebrew in the text.

If you have a KING JAMES BIBLE
you have the Word of God.
2 Timothy 2:9, reads, "...the word of God is NOT BOUND."
Anybody can freely print, distribute, and reproduce the King James Bible, without asking anybody for permission! It is not bound by a copyright law.

I'm waiting for the next edition in which 'Trinity' is added and where Jesus clearly says 'he is God'.

Aren't both accused of denominational bias? I don't have either.
