In case you are wondering....my wife and I watched our Cast Away DVD not long ago, I figured I would make a Christian edition of the "ordeal".

I'd choose the Reina-Valera Spanish version. The original Valera was based on the Receptus, but Reina's later edition incorporated some of the Alexandrian readings, much as the "New Scofield" in English. But Reina-Valera is still probably closer to the correct text than the modern English versions.
No, I don't speak Spanish. But I'm familiar enough with the layout of the Bible that I'd have a pretty good idea of what I was reading, and I've memorized just enough scripture that I could do some word-for-word translating. And, that way, I'd learn Spanish, which I am unlikely to do unless I'm on an isolated island for 20 years! ![]() |

![]() I'm surprised you didn't include the so-called New King James on your list. I think a lot of us would prefer that to the others. As for "The Message," I can categorically state that it is tied with the New Living Translation, in my estimation, for the title of most damnable, hideous corruption ever printed in the English language. It is truly vile. |

![]() ![]() I'd probably choose the ESV; it was the first new English translation and closest to the King James in its reading as far as I can tell. I know enough Scripture (I think) to be able to at least remember the KJB passages while I was reading through it. Could I just take my MacBook Pro and a solar charger instead? ![]() |

I voted Other since I'd take a Geneva over the NIV, NASB, or ESV anyday.
Peace and Love, Stephen |
