Decide what translation you want to use and stick with it. The King James, the New King James and the New American Standard Bible (NASB) are the most accurate. The New International Version is not as accurate as the first three. It is a thought-for-thought translation instead of a word-for-word translation as the first three are. Do not use a paraphrase.
