I use various translations and compare a lot, such as
NKJV
KJV
NIV
Amplified
Spirit Filled Womens Bible NKJV
"The Book" - written in plain english, like a book, if that makes sense.
I also have software on my pc that looks up various versions and concordance, with hebrew and greek translations.
So if I'm really researching something I sometimes check out all these versions, if not than I usually read "THE BOOK" and let the Holy Spirit guide me.
