Bible FAQsQ: What version or translation should I use? A: Although some people are adamant that a specific version or translation of the Bible is the only one that should be used, that is a limited perspective that only serves to discourage people from reading and studying the Bible. You should select a version that is meaningful to you and easy to understand. Some versions are paraphrases, putting the Bible into modern-day language that is readily understandable. If you are new to the Bible (or need to take a fresh look at it), The Message is highly recommended (also see Wikipedia's entry for The Message). Other popular versions include the New International Version (NIV), the Amplified Bible (AMP), and the New Living Translation (NLT). The King James Version (KJV) is the choice for many long-time Bible readers (complete with traditional Old English wording), though some now opt for New King James version (NKJV). To read a version that includes the Apocrypha books, consider The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) or New American Bible (NAB).
