Maybe you should get a good study Bible that uses the NIV. There’s a new one edited by a team led by D.A. Carson. https://www.amazon.com/NIV-Zondervan-Study-Bible-Hardcover/dp/0310438330/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1471544642&sr=8-1
I would second this! D.A. Carson is the lead editor, and everyone on the team is really good. R.C. Sproul once introduced D.A. Carson as the best living scholar on the New Testament.
I have been buying and consulting Study Bibles for years, and the NIV Zondervan Study Bible is, far and away, the best I have ever seen. Evangelical in origin and tone, it stresses Theology over Apologetics in a most wonderful way. I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian, and not totally in the Evangelical camp, but I have still profited very much from it. D.A. Carson’s editorship, plus the solid aesthetic appeal of it, make it a great choice.
