I'm planning on getting a new Bible today and normally I would get the NIV because it is easier for me to read.
To me the NIV is translated as clear as the KJV, besides a few omitted pieces. And if I want to explain something to someone I want that direction to be clear and make sense to other people. I do cross-reference with an app.
But...
"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
But a wise man is he who listens to counsel."
So I'm open to other insight before I go out.
