The translation that I use most often is the NET Bible, v 2.1 Not only is it an excellent rendition of the best texts available, but there are about 60,000(!) translators' notes that explain the decisions made by the translators to produce the text, and also there are notes that explain possible ambiguities in the ancient languages.
As I have said over and over and over... there is no such thing as a perfect translation, nor can there be. God gave us his Word to be understood thoroughly, so it is the best meaning of the ancient texts that is most important. That is what I look for in every translation that I use.
BTW, King James ordered that the explanatory notes provided in earlier Bible translation be removed so that only what he approved was the definitive Bible, according to him. Guess what? He was simply an imperfect human ruler who wanted the Bible to mean what he alone said it meant. Like all translations, the KJV is imperfect; it is not the Word of God.
Can anyone show me verifiable proof the the KJV is the perfect Word of God? Off the wall opinions are unacceptable.
