My 5 Favorite Bible Translations

I've had a couple of people ask me the version of the Bible I prefer. As a seminary graduate, I don't have a single answer. So I've compiled a list of my 5 favorite Bible translations. These are translations I use most in my personal study—and the pros and cons for each. I hope that it helps others who are looking to purchase one of the versions listed below:

5 FAVORITE BIBLE TRANSLATIONS

1. ESV

Pros: Good literal translation of the original Greek

Cons: Recent translation, so not as widely used as other versions.

2. CSB

Pros: Readability and good literal translation of original Greek

Cons: One of the newest kids on the block when it comes to translations.
