Right now I'm using The Message. But I like NKJV and NASB a lot. NLT is okay, but I'm not as fond of it as I am The Message.

I've rotated through several translations through the years and I always wonder. If I had a really good understanding of Greek and Hebrew and access to all biblical translation resources, just what would my translation be like? How different or alike to the better modern translations would it be? Its an interesting thing to think about.

Any old school independent Baptist preacher will tell you the original KJV is the "only Bible".

I believe that all translations (not paraphrases) have their strong points. I probably use ESV, NASV, and KJV most.

NLT, I prefer a version I can read and understand without problem. I'm on my third go round, this one chronologically and thoroughly enjoy it.
