Which Bible translation do you guys use and why? Right now I'm using the New Revised Standard Version. The reason I use this translation is because back in college I took a Christianity class and this was the Bible we used. A Google search also told me it is the most scholarly. When talking with my girlfriend I got the vibe she doesn't like this translation. I told her I'm using the NRSV not the NRSV-CE. My girlfriend reads the Reina Valera 1960. I also talked with my friend's mom who is religious and told her I use the NRSV and I also got a bad vibe. She reads the Living Bible. My question is what is the problem with the NRSV? In the past I was never a fan of the KJV, but I'm starting to appreciate the poetic nature of the translation. I'm also starting to get interested in the Literal Standard Version. Any advice or recommendations you guys have will be greatly appreciated.
