I'm going to finally read the Bible from beginning to end, but I really don't have any experience with it. Which version should I read? KJV seems to be popular, but should I go with a different version?

English KJV is divinely inspired

Get a KJV and look up any verse that seems confusing. Go to church and if you find a good one the sermons will help you to understand. You don't want your grandchildren to inherit your bible and have it be an ASV or NIV which are at a 3rd grade level. That would be unbecoming.

Awful advise. Do not start with the KJV OP, because it is very difficult to understand. You can tell that these people have never read the Bible and are only LARPing.

Get the NRSV Bible. It was translated by a council of renown bishops and important Christian intellectuals. It is translated to be easy to read, yet to also remain as close to the original as the language allows. It's a very impressive work.

>>134948163
There is no perfect translation. KJV and NASB are okay, but they each have some faults. You really need to understand the Greek. The Biblehub.com has an interlinear feature that shows you the NT Greek side by side with the English.

NIV and the Message bibles are written by degenerates. Stay away.

Sure with a dictionary, however the problem isn't if you or I can read it. We're talking about the illiterate who pick this up and can't make heads or tails of it. OR read very slowly as to break pace and lose interest. Given the amount of people who claim to be followers of said book and the amount who hasn't read it. We should be able to agree there might be a problem with the KJV.

In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. -Romans 1:27-28

REAL ADVICE HERE FROM A LAY CHRISTIAN SCHOLAR

KJV is useful, but you will need a Strong's Concordance and a Smith's Bible Dictionary

NASB is decent, but doesnt read as smoothly as others

ESV is decent

Avoid NIV, thats basically a children's / women's Bible

I advise you NOT to start at Genesis. Read the entirety of the New Testament, then go back and read it from Genesis

Well it obviously isn't because nobody can understand it you fucking moron. Why would I praise a work that I can't understand. That would make a moron (like you who praises KJV when he can't understand it).

>How are you going to praise Shakespere for his work if its "too difficult" for you to understand?

Where did I say its "too difficult"? It takes a long while before you can fluently and easily read a work of Shakespeare. It's not "too difficult", but it is difficult. I don't claim that you can pick Hamlet off the shelf and easily understand it on your first read through of it. That would be wrong. You are claiming that when it comes to the KJV of the bible though.

>Do you follow popular opinion like the sheeple yoi are?

KJV is the definitive Bible of the civilisation building world conquering White Protestant.
I also have a Biblia Sacra Vulgata, a Septuaginta, a JPS Hebrew-English Tanakh, and a Luther Bible.
I use Blue Letter Bible to compare the KJV New Testament to Textus Receptus online.
There are also some really significant Reformed translations you might like to read such as the Zurich Bible, the Kralice Bible, the Neuberg Bible, and the States Bible.
KJV is the only English translation you will ever need. It's elegant and precise, and even reading the most mundane chapter will improve you as a man.

Right here

>If you had you would understand how difficult it is to fully comprehend those works.

Also Shakespere and his works were meant to be read as a play, not a book you gullible faggot. KJV on the other hand was meant to be read as a book which is why its easy to understand.

NWT.jpg

The NWT is the most objective and accurate Bible out there.

All Bibles have in common that they are translated from the original Koine Greek and Hebrew languages with the help of other languages of the ancient world. Not even modern Greek and modern Hebrew is the same. Since those ancient languages are incompatible with all modern-day languages getting a 100% accurate Bible from them is impossible. Only 99%. There are two kinds of translations: Word-for-Word and Paraphrase. Word for word stays as close to the original words as possible but strays from some of the meanings of the sentences originally spoken. The other is paraphrase where it doesn't stick to the literal definition of the original word but strays on purposely to give a general idea. The problem with this is that it can stray to far from the original languages. The perfect Bible tries to find the middle ground between both.

The NWT is mostly word for word with some paraphrase wherever necessary.

ASV is mostly paraphrase

Reference Bible is the same as the NWT except it adds commentary

Kingdom Interlinear is mostly a giant dictionary that parallels original ancient words with modern words. Extremely word-for-word

Byington, aka The Bible in Living English is very in-between. A very good one.

Reject all monotheism. It's unnatural filth. Cyrus II could have prevented Christianity and Islam from ever existing, but nooooooo he just had to be benevolent and let the jews return to judea. The jews in exile would have died out in a few generations and we'd be free of monotheistic lies.

If only he'd have know what evil he was letting survive.

I don't say it's "too difficult" there though do I?

>Also Shakespere and his works were meant to be read as a play, not a book you gullible faggot. KJV on the other hand was meant to be read as a book which is why its easy to understand.

I can still read it as a book, and many people do. KJV is a book yeah, but it can still be a difficult one. Just because it is a book it does not mean that it is easy to understand.

Jesus Christ spoke of three classes of eunuchs at Matthew 19:12, saying: “For there are eunuchs that were born such from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs that were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs that have made themselves eunuchs on account of the kingdom of the heavens. Let him that can make room for it make room for it.” Those who are said to have “made themselves eunuchs” because of the kingdom are those who exercise self-control so as to apply themselves to the service of God. The apostle Paul recommends this as the “better” course for Christians who do not become “inflamed with passion.” These, he said, could serve the Lord more constantly “without distraction.” (1Co 7:9, 29-38) Such “eunuchs” are not persons who have physically castrated themselves or have been emasculated; instead, these persons voluntarily remain in a state of singleness. No vow of celibacy is recommended by the Bible, and “forbidding to marry” is condemned as one of the marks of the apostasy. In fact, some of the apostles were married men.—1Ti 4:1-3; 1Co 9:5; Mt 8:14; Mr 1:30; Lu 4:38;

Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said,
“Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart,
and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell.
But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine.
This means that God can legally dismiss their case:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift.
Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.

KJV is not the most accurate translation, ESV is a fairly easy to understand and conservative translation. The benefit of the KJV however is that it is the most historically popular (though most churches, including protestant ones, don't just the KJV as their primary bible anymore) and therefor it is the one which has had the greatest effect on English speaking culture and writing. As for verses here are some of mine:

>Proverbs 21:15 [NIV]
>When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.


>1 Corinthians 10:13 [NIV]
>13 No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.


>Deuteronomy 19:18-19 [NIV]
>18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against a fellow Israelite, 19 then do to the false witness as that witness intended to do to the other party. You must purge the evil from among you.

>Romans 10:9 [NIV]
>If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

>Mark 9:42 [NIV]
>“If anyone causes one of these little ones--those who believe in me--to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.


>Deuteronomy 25:11-12 [NIV]
>11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity.

New Living Translation & New Life Version are both very good versions.

New International Version is also good. King James Version is a bad version.

NLV >Now faith is being sure we will get what we hope for. It is being sure of what we cannot see. - Hebrews 11:1

NLT >Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. - Hebrews 11:1

NVI >Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. - Hebrews 11:1

KJV >Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. - Hebrews 11:1
