The different English version of Bible --

;- King James Version :- New American Standard :- American Standard Version :- New International Version :- New World Translation

These are the most used English version Bibles in current era.

As per most of people or readers, each translation has its own strengths and weaknesses.

The King James Version (KJV) of Bible is an excellent choice for everyone, but you need to use dictionary as the language pattern follows ancient English of 1611.

People believe that New American Standard Version (NASV) of Bible is one of the most accurate & excellent

translated Bibles.

The most easy to understand and excellent reading Bible is the New International Version (NIV) and the author has

made the text very easy to read for everyone.

As per studies, The New World Translations 1950 should be avoided as the phrases are not believed to be the true

translation of holy scriptures.

Is The Bible Accurate ?

150,000 variations in the manuscripts represent 10,000 places in the New Testament. From these places, all but 400 are questions of spelling in accord with accepted usage, grammatical construction, or order of words. And from the rest of the variations, only 50 are of significance. But of these 50, not one changes even one article of faith that

can't be sufficiently sustained by other undoubted passages.

Besides all these changes in Bible, Jesus said "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."

As per readers, the word-to-word translation is the best for everyone that is followed in King James Version and the

modern New King James Version.

when text is not clear, meaning helps to understand.
