Just curious, what's your favorite/preferred Bible version?  Or do you used different versions for different purposes? (I know an individual who uses the Message for devotional time, a New Revised Standard Version for study,and either a New King James or New American Study Bible for preaching)

For me it's a love-hate relationship.
I prefer good unbiased translations.
But I use KJV-1611 most of the time because it has Strongs linked to it. (NAS also)
From there I switch to Youngs or Rotherham.

When I want to go very literal: http://www.scripture4all.org/

1 Timothy 2:3-4  ...God our Savior;  Who will have all men to be saved...
John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...

I'm from Germany, I like the Concordant Literal and Darby, they have both a German equivalent, so Darby is my favourite English online Bible - I like the Darby OT, it's pretty literal though far from the Concordant, they corrupted 1 Timothy 4:10 but otherwise it's a good translation after all I think.

i like the online linear too, i use kjv with concordance and the CLV.

but after learning a few things about certian words i can read any bible.

God bless
