vulgate, if you dont know latin douay-rheims, its a literal translation of vulgate

modern ones dont translate directly what the author has written, but they change phrases so it turns out shit + they simplify it into retardedness

NSRV is the standard scholarly version i believe. Depends on your purposes and what you mean by a 'study bible'. Something like the bible is hard to recommend a version because it's going to depend on whether you are interested in certain denominations ect

I'm primarily a prose writer and I'm looking to get into writing screenplays and plays, very dialogue-focused stuff. To me, this is unfamiliar territory, and pretty boring as well, as I can't really use my ability to describe things well in this style. What can I do to make this sort of writing more fun for myself?
To be clear, I'm writing for a video game, but I don't know a way to describe the style I would be using except like a screenplay.

Would rape ever be justifiable? Could a character who attempted to rape a woman ever be redeemed morally? For example, say he is trapped in an underground bunker dying from disease and will likely die within the next 24 hours. Everyone is sick, but one of the women seems to be pulling through. Now say this character has a genetic-based gift, extremely vital to the survival of humanity. He NEEDS to pass on his genes but insofar hasn't because, well, he didn't figure he was going to die so soon. He doesn't really have many options, he can't leave the bunker and he barely knows the woman, who has a boyfriend who is the one who rescued this character. Realizing there is nothing more important than doing this, he attempts to convince her to sleep with him, but failing that he pins her down and tries to force himself onto her. However the disease has made him so weak that she is able to throw him off and her boyfriend comes and beats the shit out of him, locks him in a room, and the next day they exile him from the bunker and leave him to die in the radiation. He doesn't, and continues on, eventually marries and has three children. Now, would this character possibly be defensible morally? From any standpoint? I'm not trying to be edgy, this is a real part of something I wrote, all the set pieces were there and suddenly that idea came to me as a solution and it seemed too fucked up to pass over, but later I realized I had just made a fairly virtuous character do something rather evil. I suppose it could be blamed partially on him not being in his right mind from the disease almost killing him, but that isn't really a defense.
