    Bibles? Depends on what you want. IMO, the best word-for-word translations into English are as follows, and in order of my preference: 1. New American Standard, 2. International Standard Version (can be found here), 3. English Standard Version, 4. King Jimmy (old & new).

    For a thought-for-thought translation, I like the New International (NIV, not to be confused with the TNIV), and the New Living Translation.

    I think that the best thing to do when looking for a Bible is toread a number of passages/chapters from different translations, and determine which one speaks to you the clearest.
