What is the difference between different bible versions? Click here for an article on the topic.

1) Generally speaking, the King James Version and its modern counterpart, the New King James Version, are word-for-word translations. The word-for-word versions most accurately follow the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts.

2) Paraphrased Bibles, such as The Living Bible or The Message, also can be useful. Their goal is to make the Bible even easier to read in modern language. We should be cautious in working with these, however, because the authors exercised considerable “poetic license” in interpreting biblical terms and passages according to their own personal religious ideas.

3) On the Facebook page, we use the New International Version which is a meaning for meaning translation which retains the meaning of scripture in today's language. A meaning-to-meaning translation is also helpful in conveying the point of ancient figures of speech—idioms—that would not make sense to us in modern language.
