KJV and Mental Instability: Not a good combination. Give him a good modern English translation and tell him God wants to communicate with him in his own language, not that of Robin Hood's.

King James is not that hard to read, it just takes some perseverence. And you find the occational interesting bit that's been quite toned down in modern bibles ("left him none that pisseth against a wall" is as understandable as "killed all his male relatives", and much more interesting.).

Amen to that.

Get either the older NIV or the updated New American Standard.
