“As a non-Catholic, I would prefer the KJV. :)”
I rather like the 1611 Edition of KJ...it includes ALL of the Books of the Bible (includes the deuterocanonical books) ...
...and one of the most accurate translations, in my opinion, is the Jerusalem Bible, an English-language translation of the Bible which first was introduced to the English-speaking public in 1966 and published by Darton, Longman & Todd. It of course includes the deuterocanonical books.
This Protestant prefers the 1985 “New Jerusalem Bible” and the 1995 edition of Zonderman’s “NIV Study Bible.” But for reading as lectionary, I often preferthe King James version.
