    The ESV because of the ESV superiority over other modern versions.

    I was thinking the same thing!!! :laugh: Mine has the 1873 KJV, NIV, NLT, and NASB!

    But if the OP meant one translation, I would go with the NET with the notes....

    This is a prime example of why we in America are soo blessed!

    You are correct: the ESV is essentially the RSV. I've read James 1 in both the RSV and the ESV and they are virtually identical.

    The NRSV has its weaknesses, but its strengths compensate. I do like you parallel, but you have to put the NRSV somewhere there.

    You're right about that.

    At any rate, I'm excited about my TNIV.

    Would you choose one with Study notes in it?

    If I could only pick one (disregarding the posts about parallels you wise guys,) I would go with the NET, because I don't know Greek/Hebrew, and I think the translators notes are priceless. Also, the Net is not a true word for word, but something of a word/thought for word/thought Bible. And since the Autographs are ALL lost, the only thing left today is translations of copies. Thus the need for translators notes.

    Morning chaps,

    I wondered how long both side were going to continue to "be good.' I woke up this morning to find out long :) .

    You will note that I have deleted an entire off topic conversation. While I find the "shouting" provocative, I reasoned that anyone who wants to "shout out" their favourite version is free to do so.

    It took me a while to delete each post. If that rears its head again I will just close and delete the thread.

    Well, at least I am an equal opportunity cutter outer :).

    BTW, I was sorely tempted myself to drag this one off topic :).
