I used to love the KJV until I found out how many translation errors it has (changing "thou shalt not murder" to "thou shalt not kill") comes to mind. There's also the political agenda behind the translation, King James basically created his Bible to get rid of the Geneva Bible which he felt undermined his political authority.
The best English translation is the Recovery Version Study Bible (not related to 12 step program) put out by Living Stream Publishers. I do word studies and I haven't yet found a mistake. Even the prepositions are right on. It doesn't confuse "in" (en) and "into" (eis). No politics involved in its production.

Where can one find a copy of that online? (It doesn't appear to be on Bible Hub)
https://biblesforamerica.org/ offers a free NT. Great footnotes.
Thanks fren!!
