What Bible translation do you use the most, and why?  If you are a minister and you use one translation for study and another for public speaking please list them both.  I’m just curious to know what others are using.

I primarily use the New American Standard Bible (NASB), but I browse through lots of others when preparing lessons.  I’m always on the lookout for something I may like a little better.  For now, it is the NASB.

Super G,

Hope you had a great weekend. I’m an NIV man for the most part. I also like the NASV. For daily reading I use the NCV. I like it a lot.

I use the NIV for the most part because I like it and it’s ability to be easy to read. And most of my congregation under the age of 55 use it.

At Crossroads Christian Church here in Lexington, they’ve given everyone a copy of God’s Word translation. Whenever a scripture is read, the book, chapter, and verse are given along with the page number.

Personally, I use the TNIV in my own reading.

Since leaving the pulpit (where the NIV was expected), I’ve been enjoying the NRSV. A few of the introductory comments are on the liberal side, but the translation is music to my ears.
