You people in the comments, how foolish you are debating about "foolish controversies". I have read an NIV for 2 years and the Spirit through the Word has taught me and given me revelation. Whatever is best for you. Sheesh, stop arguing amongst yourselves. The Bible translations to use are the: KJV, NKJV, NIV, ESV, NLT, and NASB. Period. Reading a certain translation does not make you more godly. God can communicate His word through any translation that is 1. accurate enough, 2. not twisted by false and impure heresies, 3. gets the point across. God is not unjust, He will provide us with a translation that is good. Trust in Him, He will not expect you to know His word without even giving you His word (how primitive to think this). Stop arguing like the Corinthian church who said, "I follow Paul", or "I follow Apollos" or "I follow Christ". You are exactly identical; "I read KJV", or "I read NASB", or "I read the NIV". Stop it and repent. I could cite scripture all day long to you people. Stop being so much of a historian, and be what you were called to be. Among the good translations in English choose what is easiest to understand. Among those I have stated, you choose what is best for you. God does not command "read this translation or perish"; He commands that we be wise and watch out for false doctrine and teachers. Read any of those translations which I mentioned earlier, without raising questions of conscience. If you do, you will fall into an erroneous, deluded, conclusion that is not based on the Word of God. So repent now, and trust in the Lord.

There is not a power that is not given by God. Through providence God raised up the most powerful nation there ever was or will be, the U.S.A., and in its infancy it was given the preserved word of God; “Robert Aitken, a Philadelphia printer, was the first to publish the first American edition of the K.J.V. New Testament in 1781 and the K.J.V. Old Testament in 1782, omitting the Apocrypha. On completion, he petitioned and received from the Congress of the Confederation, an official endorsement that Aitken added to the binding of his Bibles, to assure colonists that they were buying a non-royalist edition: “Resolved, that the United States in Congress assembled… recommend this edition of the Bible to the inhabitants of the United States and hereby authorize him to publish this recommendation.” As a result, the Aitken Bible is often referred to as “The Bible of the Revolution.” The nation was given the KJV, not the dead sea scrolls, not the book of Enoch, not Hebrew books etc. but only the KJV. If God wanted us to understand his word in Hebrew he would have raised this nation up speaking Hebrew. Back in the 1600’s God saw to it that the certain scriptures were translated into English “KJ bible” and was put into print so that all could read for themselves the truth that is in the scriptures. God did this because he knew that he would bring about this powerful nation [U.S.A. and the English language] of ours to lead the world. The scriptures were written by apostles and prophets inspired by God through the Holy Ghost. The compilation and translation to English was also done by the direction of God through the Holy Ghost and he did not make any mistakes, i.e., the fourth horse being “pale” was no mistake, the horse is not green. In Greek mythology, the name Chloris (Khloris Χλωρίς, from khloros χλωρός, meaning "greenish-yellow," "pale green," "pale," "pallid" or "fresh") appears... Pallid 1. pale; faint or deficient in color; wan: a pallid countenance. People say that they believe that scripture was written by the direction of God and the Holy Ghost, which is true. But what you people don’t seem to realize is that the compilation and translation of the bible (KJV) was also done by the direction of God and the Holy Ghost. If the bible was written and compiled by men of opinion and perspective and translated by incompetent translators then you might as well throw it in the trash. The prophets were told what to write and how to write it. The nation was given the symbol of the Eagle, 37 … Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. Luke 17:37 (KJV), the body being the church, the body of Christ. The nation has the motto and preamble “in God we trust” and “one nation under God”. This greatest and most powerful nation. the U.S.A., has been given the last and best chance to lead the world to heaven on earth or destruction. But like all other nations of power before it (symbolic Israels) the U.S. has chosen destruction and is now the great “liar” saying “in God we trust” and “one nation under God”, it is now the conglomerate of the dragon, beast, false prophet, and harlot, it is Satan loosed from the pit, 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth Rev 20:7-8 (KJV). And yet no one seems to know of or speak of a very clear fulfillment of prophecy in our recent history. We (U.S.A.) are the ones who brought down fire from heaven in Aug. of 1945 and we are the ones that gave life to the image of the beast in May of 1948. Rev 13:13-15 (KJV). May God have mercy on his children. Amen

I was contemplating this thought recently and was searching for answers. This honestly answers my thought. :)

I have an interlinear Bible that I use alongside my NASB. I really like doing that for slow, deep study. If I’m just reading and not studying, it’s really cumbersome. That thing is awesome, but it’s also huge. The best English Bible is one that is read frequently.

The most beautiful way I've ever heard it explained...

I'm asked this question quite often. Before I answer, I determine who they are, I estimate their reading level, and what it is they are attempting to accomplish with their Bible. Is it to really "study" the Word like a student? (NASB, ESV, NKJV are generally my answers here). Or is it a young person or older person who just "wants to read" the Bible? (NLT, NIV, or CSB is my answer here). The best Bible is very often answered by, "What Bible translation is best FOR THEM?" That being said, the best Bible translation is (a) the one they'll read and (b) they one they'll understand. It is a wonderful thing to see a young person or new Christian read one of the newer translations and derive meaning and joy from God's word.

@@55dengen , I think you must study this for yourself and decide which type of translation works best for you. For example , in Genesis during the story of Noah, a literal translation will read something like "Ham saw his fathers nakedness ." An accurate translation will correctly change the idiom to common parlance thus , " Ham lay with his father's wife." Both may also include footnotes as to the other. I find the NKJV has the most useful and complete footnotes, as it annotates all variations , and italics all addition flow conjunctions (in the most recent additions). It also is not biased towards reform or Orthodox , so doesn't stress one footnote over another. ... In short, the inspiration comes from within you. I'd posit that most people today have a poor grasp on ancient idiomatic expression , or Elizabethan expression, as such; either the NKJV or the ESV are best for them. The NKJV for complete footnotes , and the ESV for ease of reading.

If the mother was getting up and down to do other things the baby wouldn't receive it's proper nourishment. It's important to build up our spirits and you do this by quietly reading and absorbing huge uninterrupted portions of scripture.

It is knowing God, through His Son and through His Holy Spirit that teach us, not a particular Bible version. Obsessing over a particular Bible version is focusing on the wrong thing and, I think, falling prey to a religious, legalistic spirit that divides the Body of Christ. Look no farther than these comments to see the division and arguing it's causing. I don't think God is pleased with this. Jesus said that it would be the Holy Spirit Who would lead us into truth. You can have the most perfect version of the Bible, but if you are not indwelt by the Holy Spirit and being taught by Him, it's of no value. Conversely, you can have the worst Bible translation, but if you are being taught by the Holy Spirit, He will lead you to truth even in that corrupted version. It is the Holy Spirit Who will expose lies if there are any. John 1:1 "the Word was God." The real Word of God is God Himself, not any Bible version. They all may come close to His perfection to varying degrees, but it is God Himself Who is the perfect Living Word, Who teaches us. A Bible version is just the vehicle that brings us into His presence where He, the Living Word, teaches us. So whichever translation brings you into His presence, He will use. He just wants to spend time with you to teach you. Pick any version, in any language, and you will find in history that God used that version to bring people to salvation, to Himself.

In fact, freemasons don't even believe in anything that the Bible teaches, so how is it possible that they translated it? Listen to the voice of the Lord in scripture. God does not call us to be 4-language-speaking, PHD, Theology degree professors; He wants us to listen to His voice through His word, and become more Christ-like. But as Paul says in Titus 3:9, avoid these things. Furthermore, I hope you can trust the Lord when He says, "Heaven and earth may pass away, but my words will never pass away" (Matthew 24:35).

that sounded like a question "have you eaten?" I don't know how you get greetings or welcoming someone from that but yeah I'm sure most ppl get the point.

Tyndale for new and a bit of the old can be found as well. To fill in the rest of the old testament, the Matthew bible will do. Edit : if these bibles are a bit hard to understand due to them being nearly 500 years old, then text wise there's the October testament on bible gateway (a slight word of caution on the footnotes though as the author has not only notes from tyndale and john Rogers, but also her own and ancient church "fathers", though bible gateway doesn't have any marginal notes or footnotes. You'll have to get the printed edition for that if you want the notes).

Ex 9:16; Ps 83:18 ASV

The KJV is the only perfect word of God that does not teach false salvations or changes the deity of Christ.

You are correct about the ASV-1901. It was/is legendary attempt to be as close to a "word for word" (formal) translation as we have had in English. It is extremely accurate. It uses archaic Elizabethan English, nevertheless, it has no modern equal.

He only discussed translation methods not the manuscript source. KJV and modern translations come from two completely different sources. That’s why some verses are left out. They are not in the source manuscript.

As examples, 1 John 5:7,8, also 1 Tim 3:16. Readers may not be aware of the history behind 1 John 5:7, 8, as the words "the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost" were invented by a Catholic scribe, a monk named Roy, Erasmus in his Greek translation did not insert the above words, as none of the manuscripts he used had the above in and only agreed to insert the words, if a manuscript could be found with it in, "Roy" obliged and manufactured one and then it was presented to Erasmus, who was obliged to put the above in his next edition! No manuscript before the 16th century CE has the above in; had the church fathers been aware of it, they surely would have used it as a proof text in the Christological debates, at Nicaea... and none of them show any awareness of such a text and non of them mention it in their writings!

Read more than one Bible translation. Read the number of chapters you would, then read them again but with another translation. This way you also study the chapters you read.

Although the language can be trying, I recommend Young's Literal Translation(YLT). It's touted as the most accurate of the English versions when compared to the original Hebrew and Greek texts, which makes it an excellent study tool, especially when paired with Young's Concordance. Naturally, if you can read the original language texts, you're better off than most.

I ask all reading this to get your bible and look up scripture PSLAMS 83:18. It is the 19th book of old test the front of your bible should show you the page number.

The people bickering about such-and-such being the ONLY acceptable translation are modern-day Pharisees. While there are definitely some dreadful translations out there, there are also many exceptional translations. The KJV translation is a beautiful translation. It is arguably the most influential work in the English language. However, the KJV translators did not have access to many historically significant documents which we have in the modern era, particularly the Dead Sea Scrolls. These finds allow us to develop ever more accurate translations. But, let's be honest here: no matter which of the many good translations you use, they are all going to say essentially the same thing 99.9%+ of the time. There may be wildly different interpretations of the text in the footnotes, but that has nothing to do with the translation itself. The "best" translation(s) for you is a mix of personal preference and context (for serious study, reading aloud, etc.)

Because we have so many translations, we should instead be asking, “What are translations that I should absolutely stay away from because of doctrine that isn’t sound?” So often when asking this question, we are seeking the opinion of man, instead of praying and seeking God’s wisdom.

Please can we get an explanation on the trinity?

God is three in one. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. This is shown throughout the whole Bible, God says "let Us make man in Our image" when He makes Adam. He said "let Us confuse their tongues" when He confused their tongues at the tower of Babel. It is shown also in John 1:1-3 when the Word tells us "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing * came into being that has come into being." Word being capitalized is speaking of Jesus. We see here that Jesus wasn't just made when He took on flesh but that He always existed as God and created all things as God. I'm not sure on how much you know of the Holy Trinity, I hope that helped some but I'm sure they can make a good vid on it =)

Dr. Plummer, not sure if u get asked this a lot, but what is the best English Bible translation? 😎

The best translation is finding a pastor who studies diligently and will exegete the Bible for his congregation from the original languages. Otherwise, there is way too much lost in English translations, though technically they may be fair in a generalized sense. For example: Reading Jesus declaring on the Cross, "It is Finished!" conveys in a general sense. Knowing what the Greek with its tenses state, gives an eye opening sense that squeezes out room for false teachers who love to work with the generalized sense of English translations.

In contrast, 2 Timothy 4:3 tells us that many bad teachers will be found for whatever pleases your personal bias. There is so much that remains hidden when someone reads and English translation. Its good for baby Christians just learning the very basics. Too much remains unexplained to give us context. Those led of the Spirit will endure and suffer and finally locate what is needed as God provides through a genuine pastor-teacher. And, those who prefer the mainstream? They will find the really good teachers to be offensive. For the flesh opposes the Spirit, and the Spirit opposes the flesh. Just like false teachers are offensive.

Douay-Rheims, New American RE, and Complete Jewish Bible I use.

Certain more modern versions of the bible are apparently designed to dilute passages that reflect the divinity of Christ, presumably due to underlying ecumenical (i.e. New World Order) aims. When in doubt, compare versions, and refer back to the original Hebrew for the old testament and to Greek for the new. Note that the Aramaic is, counterintuitively, not the original but rather a translation.

Why do all of the modern versions make the same mistake at Heb 3:16? Why do they all relegate Jesus to a mere servant at Acts 3:13,26? Why do they all say at Gal 2:16 that man is justified by his own personal faith in Christ rather than being justified by the Faith of Christ? Last question: Do you feel we have the inspired Word of God in English for us today?

Thanks, for not pushing thecKJV

We need to point out about the minority alexandrian(Egypt) gnostic used to change the TR. (textus receptus) in the new versions.....(Daniel Sorenson's videos about this issue.)

It depends what you are translating from. Textus Receptus (KJV) or Nestle Allende ( most modern texts). Which are God's words? According to Psalm12 :7 He promised to preserve them! Where?

Grew up with the KJV. One of the least recommended for me. Best to learn the source language of the text if you can. As long as people rely on translations only they will always be totally reliant on people they don’t even know to tell them what the Bible says.

For me it's NASB95 or NASB20, then ESV.

The job of the translators is to translate not interpret, at least interpret as little as possible. His example at the end with the NLT would be an example of translators exceeding their purpose. It is the purpose of study and teaching to explain what the words and phrases of the Bible mean.

We should be thankful that it is possible to obtain many translations in order to better understand the Way of salvation, unfortunately the enemy has been able to use that very fact to bring further contention among the body of Christ here in the United States; while in Muslim countries believers hunger for just a scrap of the Word of God. Thankfully Voice of the Martyrs is making an effort to get Bibles into their hands. Please pray for and support this effort.
