The first Bible I read (back before I was Christian) was the King James, and I grew to love it for the sheer loveliness of many of the passages. Even then I knew it wasn’t the only one, of course, but I will always it.

Even then I knew it wasn’t the only one, of course, but I will always it.The first Bible I started to read was the Douay-Rheims, I found it opaque. Started reading the KJV; also opaque but I loved the soaring language.
Moved on to the NIV; easy to read but not for scholarship.
About eight years ago I switched to the updated NASB for use on this forum.
For reading I prefer the David Sterns: Complete Jewish Bible
