What version do you read?

(1/3) > >>

octoberose:
This must be my night for posting. I just put our plea for intervention on the prayer forum.
  Since coming here I've bought a Concordant Literal New Testament and a Rotherham Bible. I find these very helpful and usually look things up on a verse by verse, or chapter by chapter basis. However, I find it harder to read the Word with these translations when I just want to sit down and read and read and soak it in.  The  whole rhythm of the words is so different from what I'm use to. What versions do you read that are closer to the original language and that you love to read?  Is there another version that translates 'eternal' correctly and 'hell' correctly that I should try?
  Thank you for your input.

If you have a mind and the wallet, get all the translations you can. I do not say that you will have an advantage, but you will have many translations. That cannot hurt, but in the end it is the Holy Spirit who will give you the wisdom and knowledge as to what the Bible teaches with any translation. Pray and read the Word. ;)

Leave the wallet at home.  I have 32 translations on my e-sword and 31 of them are free. I did buy the AMP version.  This is great FREE Bible software and it makes studying scripture Very easy to do.  I do have to pick up the Concordant Literal New Testament from time to time because that version is not available ...yet.  I just carry my laptop around and call it my electric Bible. They also have a free version for pome.

Just read the King James or New King James, with the Rotherham and Concordant nearby to check the translating.

King James mostly with Concordant.

@ Stanstill here is Sword concordant old and new testament Concordant Literal Version (CLV): complete with Old and New testaments.
This site provides the clv for e-sword... but it requires registration.
