DRV. Lovely writing, easy to read, and accurate enough for all I care.

Depends on what you want out of it, Anon, that's an incredibly arbitrary question.

i like KJV, NASB and ESV

[Anonymous No.15740496]

>>15739824
KJV and NIV
ESV is the big gay. NASB was fine until the revisions this year.

KJV is literally a word for word translation of the ancient manuscripts. Compare and realize its true. Not a KJV only type of anon, but is definitely the most accurate translation and do recommend to read KJV before any other.

No, the KJV translators used printed editions of the texts, not ancient manuscripts, and the text is based on the earlier Bishop's Bible translation. Also "pagan manuscripts"? Why would pagans copy Christian texts? Your image is nonsense.

Nice of you to have cross referenced it with the original manuscripts and the dead sea scrolls, before coming to your very original conclusion.

eople will say dhouay rheims but it's a meme literally just a worse KJV, there's not much difference between protestant and catholic bibles, catholic bibles have a few extra books but they aren't read from often or very important.

Most bible translations are pretty good honestly, if you want more readable/easy to understand language you oftne lose poetic beauty or the exact meaning.

If you want an academic bible that is very accurate and precise go with the NASB (evangelical), RSV or NRSV (pozzed), academics usually use the latter.

if you want a MUH POETICS bible mainly for litererary reasons go KJV but it has a few dodgy verses that most bibles remove and it is almost certain you will misinterpret parts of it because meanings of some words have changed

If you want the above but updated for modern english and replacing thees and thous while still maintaining most of the poetic beauty and being accurate go for the NKJV which is my favorite.

If you want the most common, generic translation that loses some of the magic and is slightly pozzed go for the NIV
