New Testament, then Old Testament, then New Testament again. Please don't skip books and read in order as >>18963787
said. You can always check notes or the Wikipedia page for the book for context, such as who the author is and when it was written if your edition doesn't have that.

>because the NRSV/CE butchered a lot of wording
Still the go-to for Catholics
>the NKJV is just as flawed as the original KJV.
It fixes archaic and inaccurate language of the KJV while still being a mostly word-for-word translation. It also adds some textual criticism of older manuscripts that were not available at the time of the KJV.
>BTW, the OT is useful for context, but you really only need to read the New Testament, and then Psalms and Proverbs for additional material
Sorry to put it this way but this is a retarded take, the NT is the fulfillment of the OT, the OT is not just "context". The books you mentioned don't even include the Mosaic Law...
You sound like a protestant youth pastor.
