In the context of the one holy catholic and apostolic church's teachings.

I myself use the Third Millenium Bible, but for portability sake I actually use the "Catena" app because it not only has daily readings and the like, but also has easily accessible patristic commentary.

By not reading it. Don't waste your time on that horseshit

Depends why you're reading it. If you want historical context then I recommend the New Oxford Annotated Bible (NOAB)
