No worries, I understand brother
Some Independent Baptist churches are ok with different translations, Some are ADAMANTLY OPPOSED and will kick you out for bringing in a "Devil's version" of the Bible. Some think that the KJV is doubly inspired and that it clears up any miss understandings in the Greek/Hebrew copies.
Think that the Esv is abetter version for you to use, as you have a hard time with Kjv, but be prepared to have lot of flack from thoe stuck on KJVO!
The cult of he KJVO!
Think that yo sahould ge th Esv, but also that never rtake it to church/cell group!
If you want to use a more contemporary version that may be closer to the KJV and thus easier to follow along during teaching and preaching services you might try the NKJV.
Or, even better, if you use a electronic device in church try the WEB. It is only available in electronic format but is an excellent translation and will make it easier to follow along.

I agree with this suggestion. The NKJV sounds a lot like the KJV but without the archaic language.
My progression was KJVO, then KJV, then NKJV, now I mostly read the NIV.
I use YouVersion but I have kids and like then see me reading from a paper bible or when I read to them like when we go on hikes and stop for some bible reading

Really good suggestion! This way you can track with the pastor but have it in a little bit more contemporary wording.
Too bad not to be found, but 1967 Scofield was best fo this, as had word changes in margins!Really good suggestion! This way you can track with the pastor but have it in a little bit more contemporary wording.
So had "real" Kjv, with suggested word changes!
Showing my ignorance here, but what is the RL Allen Bible? Thanks.
R.L. Allan is a publisher of high-quality Bibles in several versions.
While I use mostly the ESV, you might take a look at the Lexham English Bible. I'm liking it more and more; the ESV and the Lexham are the ones I alternate using on YouVersion and e-Sword.

Yeah, I would snap up a paper LEB in a heartbeat.I'm liking the LEB a lot. Wish it came in paper book form

Not just a publisher but the maker of probably some of the finest Bibles out there. My husband got one for his ordination as a gift from the church. That Bible is gorgeous! I ride horses so know good leather (saddles are worth thousands of dollars) and this Bible smells as good as my saddle.
