what is the easiest version of the bible to read? just curious.

~*Hannah_Lee*~ · 04-20-2003, 11:21 PM

the New International Version is easy to read. But if you want the easiest to comprehend, I would get one that is designed for kids. My brother has one and it is really easy to understand. It's designed for kids who are about 8-12 years old, so things aren't worded as complicated as they are in a King James version.

I have a student bible and it explains all the scripture, so if you dont understand something you just look under it and it will give you a detailed description of what it really says.

New International Version, I have a teen bible and that's what kind it is

Georgia's on my Mind · 04-20-2003, 11:38 PM

I have a few, but the Catholic Study Bible is the best imo...

Good question.
Does Cliff Notes make a Bible?

that's what I have. Is yours purple and green on the cover and say "teen study Bible?"

anyways I used to go to this private school and it was required that we use the king james version. now how can u expect a 7 year old to understand that complex version?

i eman the NIV is the same thing as the KJV it's just "dumbinzed"-what i ean byu that is it is broken down into a much easier vocabulary for our generation to understand. Also, it gives little note thingys at every now and then to explain soemthing and stuff. It is really helpful. Also, in the back it has a desent list of things teens deal with like depression,drugs,school,christain living,sex, etc... and it gives refrences to scripture that deals with that particular topic. Thats what i do. Everynight I go and choose a topic thats bugging me and I look up the scripture about it.

I'd say the Living Bible is the easiest to read, but that's because it's a paraphrase, which means it's not strictly going by what the original Bible says, but explains things in everyday language. I personally prefer the New King James Version (doesn't have the "thee's" and "thou's" in it). The New International Version is okay, but I've noticed awkward language in parts of it.

Hmm...I really don't know. I knew the difference between Catholicism and Protestant-ism (I don't know the word for it), but I forgot. We're basically the same, with a few minor differences in beliefs
