Types of Bible Translations

Helpful comparison of Bible translations and paraphrases and where they fall on the word-for-word / thought-for-thought / paraphrase approach. I find it helpful to use a combination of all 3.

I study from NASB.

I read from NLT, NIV, and HCSB.

I go to MSG, TLB, and AMP for understanding.

I memorize from NIV and NLT.

I usually preach from NIV, NLT, or NASB.

I meditate with whatever is in front of me!
