ESV is a version I think I'll switch to in the future (when I fill up my current bible). It's a solid translation! 🙏

@@beagobuzz call your local or nearby UPS and see if they’ll let you have something delivered to them. I could possibly send it there and label it to them but c/o to you. Just a thought.

You were told the NIV is a "paraphrase" version incorrectly. The NIV is considered a "dynamic" or "functional" equivalent, meaning it's closer to the thought for thought. A paraphrase is really a rephrased meaning for meaning. KJV, ESV, NASB are called "formal" equivalent because they tend more toward the word for word translations. Beware of the false friends of KJV, meaning there are many words you think you know the meaning of, but in Elizabethian English they mean something different. Mark Ward is an excellent resource for this on KZread. As an example, "study" in the KJV is not like we think of study today. It is often translated as "do your best", or something of that nature, but means "be diligent". Also, you will notice verses in the KJV that are not in your NIV. I think 70 something, off the top of my head. They are not "missing" from the KJV onlyists would say, but instead were add-ons to the texts the KJV was translated from. The NIV uses older manuscripts that do NOT have those verses listed. There are no doctrine that is harmed or missing from the newer translations. Don't worry. The KJV is NOT a direct translation. Their philosophy of translation was to be as word for word as possible, but it tends to hide some of the nuances because the words used are dead or changed meaning today. Instead of KJV, I would suggest NKJV or ESV for more readability. Always use more than one translation. Something between ESV and NIV is the CSB. It's a good translation and I use it frequently for my devotional reading. I study primarily from ESV. It does have a complimentarian lean to it, but I have corrected those sections in accordance with the Greek (it's not many spots). May you have a great time, in the Lord, in your studies (diligence) seeking him!!!

Brian!!! Thank you so much for reaching out to me with this question! 🙏 Now, I'm not a prophet or a priest or even a knowledgeable seminary student, but I do have an answer! I also struggle with consistency. It's so hard to find the desire to dedicate time to reading and studying, right?? But ultimately, it's not about READING the Bible every day but more about KNOWING God's word and applying it to your life/mindset. If you struggle with sitting yourself down to examine words on paper, I recommend memorizing specific Bible verses. That way, you can repeat them to yourself. That's just the same as reading it! I also want to remind you that the people in Bible times didn't have a physical copy of God's word! Think about the New Testament, and then think about the people in Jesus' time!! They never read a book!! They listened to Jesus teach!! And it was only once a week; not every day! I understand you struggle, my friend. You are not alone in this. I hope this comment might bring you a bit of reassurance and comfort, and God bless you for being able to share! ❤️
