Happy New Year, and blessings to you, also, J.
Love NKJ as well, but I still keep returning to the old RSV. I have two that are falling apart, one of them the cover and binding literally in shreds.
Don’t think they’re even in print anymore.
Ever read “The Message???”
p.s. RSV is available as an online Bible version, I think I have seen it, try bible.cc
