I have Tyndale's "Eight Translation New Testament". It's great for comparing scriptures. The one I like best so far is Zondervan's "NIV Study Bible". The footnotes are wonderful, taking nearly half a page on each page. It's complete, Genesis to Revelation. I think you stil have to rely on context, as I've found every translation has a measure of bias. Enjoy your new "read" whatever it may be.
