Read what you want I like KJV for the way the poetry reads in ( Psalms, Proverbs et. al. ) the Old Testaments. I use both KJV and NIV.
I love the King James version also. This article is part of an ongoing discussion about whether the King James version is the ONLY valid translation of scripture. That all other translations are flawed including the oldest greek and hebrew manuscripts.
I have six translations of the Bible. I have NRSV and NIV study bibles which I use for Sunday school lesson and bible study prep. I use TEV and TNIV bibles for devotional reading. I have the KJV and NKJV for completeness, but I rarely use them when doing personal study.
