Good morning. For the past couple of years I have really struggled with translations and trying to be sure I am reading, as well as my family, the most accurate version of God’s Word. I was raised reading the KJV, read the NKJV as a teenager, as well as the NASB. Over the past couple of years I’ve primarily read the ESV. I always feel prompted to go back to the KJV, however I’ve been looking at getting the NASB 2020 or 1995, because it’s claimed to be the “most literal.” I am familiar with the difference in text and the dynamic text that many translations use today. The last thing I’m asking for is a lesson on the different texts. I’m just wondering if there are other Christians out there that struggle with this the way I do. If so, what do you do? I’m also 41 years old and in Bible college, and notice that 95% of the references aren’t KJV. Being raised in an IFB church, it’s something I really struggle with and so wish I did not. Thank you for any replies.
