uh bros I am looking to begin a serious study of the new and old testaments. but which bible should I use? i'm not an expert in these matters. I've narrowed it down to three: NABRE, Douay-Rheims, and original Greek (UBS5) for NT only which is fine because that is what interests me most. I already have a KJV and that is what I read as a child but I don't know if its the best for study. thanks for your help.

has introduction to themes and settings of books and chapters, crossreferences biblical passages, has verse by verse annotation, you can get editions which include the apocrypha, and it's the standard study bible

KJV's perfectly cromulent for English literary study. It's the English standard translation for too long to not be.
