I use the New King James Version and the New American Standard. Why? Because they translate God's preserved Word in a literal form. They avoid the use of archaic and obsolete words that are no longer used in the English language.

If I could only have one version and never another, I would pick the NKJV. The reason is because it includes in its footnotes the variations between the texts.
The version I prefer to use is the ESV. I do like the NASB also. -
If KJv was good enough for Paul its good enough for me
-
If the LXX was good enough for Paul, it's good enough for me. ;)

Askjo said:
If the Antiochan text was good enough for Paul . . .
. . . then they've been keeping time travel a secret for nearly 2000 years. -
What about the Peshitta? Some people argue it predates the Greek NT.

Askjo: "(In Isaiah 14:12) ...
"morning star" in the Old Testament in
modern versions is incorrect because this
words are not found in Hebrew text."
But the English term "Lucifer"
(from Latin - light bringer)
carries the Roman Catholic heresy
that Satan's name is "Luciferf".
The two word term "Day Star" does
not carry this unnecessary baggage.
In fact, Jesus is the True
Day Star (Rev 22:16). Meanwhile,
the chief devil,
the accuser (Satan) has names enough.
Satan" is the name of the chief devil,
not his title. -
KJV all the way for me!!!

Which KJV?
KJV1611?
KJV1769?
KJV1873?
Thank you.
Askjo: "I use the 1769 Cambridge KJV."
Thank you.
Sorry, I missed this answer of yours when I posted
this morning.
Thank you for the information.
I'll use the KJV1769 as I compare
it to the KJV1611.
As I earlier commended Timothy 1769
for his honesty, likewise I
hereby commend Askjo for his honesty. -
Baptist in Richmond: "The REAL honest-to-goodness
Authorized Version of 1611. I have
the Thomas Nelson facsimile"
Me also, my third favorite is the facsimile
of the KJV1611. I use it to slay KJVO
errors :D
My second favorite Bible is the
nKJV I use for private devotions.
My favorite Bible is my KJV1769.
I use it to study my Sunday School lesson,
teach my men's Sunday School class,
to follow along in Church. My pastor
frequently quotes it or reads from it
(but changes some words to more
modern termonology).
I need to break in my four barrelled
Bible: KJV1873, NASB, NIV, NLT. A
Bible is no good until the best verses
are underlined.
