    If you were to make a list of your five favorite Bible translations, what would that list look like (currently)?

    I know exactly what you mean. For me, it's:

    ESV
    NASB95
    NKJV
    KJV

    And I struggle with choosing a fifth Bible translation, also.

    If I had to choose right now, I'd probably choose the CSB.

    Despite its gender inclusive language, I appreciate the fact that they're making an effort to be more "literal," so to speak, than other, mainstream Bibles (e.g. the NIV and the NLT).

    Of course, my choices are subject to change.

    I use more than "favorite" translations to study the word of God.
    But those that would count as 5 favorites.

    KJV.
    Geneva Bible.
    John Darby translation.
    MLV.
    NKJV.

    What is the MLV/ I never heard of it before. Are you sure you have the correct initials?

    I use the KJV, the NKJV, the Greek TR as published by the Trinitarian Bible Society, and the RST (Russian Synodical Translation).

    How about the 1901 Asv, as have read where those against MV have seen that as acceptable!

    I should have said "I" don't use anything else. I wasn't insinuating that others shouldn't use whatever they want.
