The Bible has been translated into more languages than any other book in the world. It is by far the number one best seller every year with over 61 million sold or given away yearly. In America 91% of the homes have a Bible. There are at least 50 English translations of the Bible. Bible translations use two basic means to translate from the original language to present day English. One is striving for a literal word for word translation and the other is more of a thought for thought translation and of course some use a combination of both. Here are six good choices to consider: NKJV-New King James Version, NLT -New Living Translation, NIV-New International Version, NAS New American Standard, ESV English Standard Version, KJV-King James Version. I recommend having more than one version so you can do a comparison when you study.
