Anyone know what bible to buy? There's so many versions out there, I wanna get the most accurate English one though.
Never really been the religious type, Protestant, never really been to church or read the bible Never owned one either, and as I turn 18 next month, I wanna connect with God and form a relationship with him, for this next part of my life.
Try the New English Translation. They are mostly literal with some light interpretation. But they also include a lot of translator's notes so that you can see all the possible ways to translate a passage.
The English Standard Version is also good. It is "essentially literal" and based on revisions to the KJV.
