How to Choose the Right Bible?

An important choice that a Christian has to make is to pick out a bible. Most people want a bible thats both accurate but yet understandable. This is a big issue because it noted that more accurate a bible is the less understandable its going to be to the reader. There are three different types of bibles in the way that the translation style is used. One of them is a word-for-word translation. This type of translation is used when the translators translate the bible in Greek and Hebrew into English word for word. Examples of this type of translation include KJV, NKJV, ESV, and NASB. Another type of bible is a phrase-for-phrase. Its when they tranlate the bible by traslating each sentance and used grammer. Examples of a phrase-for phrase bible is NIV,CEV,CEB, and GNT. Another type is a paraphase. Its when thay translate by writting what the main point of the passage is. Examples of a paraphse bible is The Living Bible, NLT and the Message. Another thing to think about is the format is which the bibile is presented. Examples of this include print, braile, audiobook, mobile app, and e-book. In my exprince I used the CEB on a Bible App called YOUVERSION to read the bibleThis is important because the Bible is God's Word and used to learn how to be and live like Jesus Christ.
