Buy a KJV, not NKJV.
I actually heard a pastor say "NKJV and NIV are WUSSIFIED versions of the Word". Will not reveal name, lol.
Buy a Bible that you can and will read. You can always upgrade later. What's more important is that you get into the habit of reading it.
The best Bible translation in the world is of no use to you if it's too hard for you to read and comprehend. If you have to struggle through archaic text, I guarantee that you won't read it.
Yes, you may miss some of the finer points with a less-than-perfect translation, but since it is all new to you, there is still plenty to absorb.
I started out using one of the worst translations ever -- The Living Bible. However, it was in today's English and easy to read. I was able to read it the whole way through. I eventually moved on to better translations, but by then I had enough of a foundation to be able to painlessly move on.
If anyone comes across this comment and wonders what is going on, here’s an article that tries to give a historical analysis with some neutrality.
