I would not have expected you picking ESV over NRSV - those are the two I am really spending time thinking about picking. Thanks for putting this help on the net for so many.

KJV sounds nice, but may lead to lots of misinterpretations due to its ancient slang. Generally, the Catholic (all my respect for this Church) translations tend to be rigid, which may the reader miss the essence of the message. Probably the discussion is endless and everybody has his/her own opinion. Thanks for the article! First of all, I think a translation must be more or less in a contemporary language.

I have been looking for advice about this, and have been unable to find it from any of my Christian friends or acquaintances. (I think people just don't know what to say when they are asked about it.) Thanks for suggesting ESV, as well. Thanks for posting this… very helpful.
