[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]King James Version. Beautiful language.[/quote] Unless OP regularly converses in 1500s English, I'd stay away from KGV. Commentaries/study guides aside, I've always preferred the New American Standard translation.[/quote] If you are interested in the effect of the bible on english literature, you have to read the KJV. That is where the wording of most famous bible quotes comes from. That is the source historically of understanding and misunderstanding the bible in England and in the US. I am a Jew, and while I prefer Macho-Mamre (easy to read Hebrew text, with English alongside, I think from one of the standard Jewish translations) I think KJV is important to know as an educated person.
