What translation of the Bible do you read?
There are many different translations of the Bible. I like the New International Version because it is easier for me to understand than the King James Version.
Please leave a comment and tell me which translation you prefer and why.
If you don't read the Bible please tell me why not.

I like the NIV as well. It is easier for me to understand, however, I also use many different translations when studying.
My church leaders seem to favor the Holman Christian Standard Bible these days, and that is fairly easy to understand too. One of my pastors really favors the New Living Translation.
King James is difficult for me to read, but because it can be so poetic I think that is why it is so easy to quote.
At times, I even think The Message can bring certain things into new light for me, but I don't think The Message is a translation that can be isolated from the others to stand on its own.
There is always so much debate (and I feel needlessly) on which translation to use, when, in fact, the important thing is that the bible is being READ!
I also like the NIV for it's ease of reading and understanding but I still like KJV because I grew up on it.
Good luck on BOB challenge!
