    Was that the fairly large one with the brown Kivar cover? I bought a copy at the Baptist Book Store in the mid-'70s. I'm not sure where it is now, but it was a comfortable read.

    I’m biased towards the Byzantine Textform so I primarily favor these three:

    NKJV
    KJV
    WEB

    I enjoy the ESV as well. It retains some of the beautiful language used in familiar passages (ex. Psalm 23)

    And I suppose the ESV unless I'm allowed to choose the NIV 1984, which had the benefit of being a very smooth read.

    Amen sir and thank you! Schuyler also has a gem in the Canterbury KJV edition.

    Martin, when I’m reading through the Old Testament I reference the NIV quite a bit for the same reason.

    Never would have guessed a Calvinist would choose ESV.

    To be sure, Calvinists don’t choose the ESV, it’s been pre-determined... ;)

    The 3 English translations I use the most are...

    ESV
    NET
    CSB

    I often look at the NASB and NIV as well.

    Thanks for the heads up, Brother Glen!

    I also meant to mention I have read the MEV New Testament and I like it as well. To me it reads very similar to the ESV, but has a different textual basis of course.

    Your primary translation is an interlinear?
