I was curious which translation(s) people here use for study and why.
I use the NIV for most of my reading and will use other translations to compare against for study. I find that the NIV has a good balance between word for word and idea for idea translation. I would never recommend to only use one translation in study, not all translations are the same or perfect.
I find the KJV hard to understand at times and not very easy to read, the NKJV is a better translation. The Message is OK, but it is just too different than what I am used to.
Let me know your thoughts.
