Currently I'm using the Amplified Bible unless directed to do otherwise. It's illuminated several verses for me; one is Matthew 7:7. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. (NIV) The Amplified Bible fleshes it out a little more, so to speak:
“Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.

Instructing us to ask and continue to ask, seek and keep on seeking, knock and continue to knock; it's obviously not a once and done.

KJV, I can understand it, so I enjoy the prose. Its not easy, but you eventually get the gist of the way it is written. I enjoy the Holman Version when I need to explain to others what I can't seem to show them via the KJV.

Have you ever noticed you avoid answering questions, instead you find fault with just about every? That’s one thing we can count on.

You're going to make your own conclusions anyway, so why bother?
