KJV language is just too much to slog through when you’re reading it in bed at the end of a long day.

I also listen a lot on my 3 hour round trip commute. I tried a KJV and just got tired of hitting the rewind button.

A related story: One day in our old “KJVO” church, the pastor read a particularly confusing KJV verse and tried to explain what it actually meant in modern english. My wife had her NIV open at the time. His explanation quoted word-for-word what her NIV said.

I don’t like having to translate while reading. It’s like trying to read an Italian bible after you’ve had one year of high school Italian. There really is no point, when you can get it in English.
