What if I don't have a Bible?

No problem. I've created a table that allows you to read any of the most common translations of the bible right here. Simply click on the translation you're currently using.

Here's some info about each translation.

The Message (MSG) - The Message is a modern translation of the Bible, created by Eugene Peterson. It aims to make the ancient texts more accessible by using everyday, conversational language. Rather than sticking closely to the original wording, Peterson paraphrases the Bible, focusing on communicating the meaning in a way that feels current and easy to understand. It’s not a word-for-word translation, but more of a dynamic interpretation, aiming to bring the core message to life for modern readers.

New International Version (NIV) - The New International Version is a popular translation of the Bible. It aims to balance accuracy with readability, using clear, straightforward language. The translation is based on ancient manuscripts and tries to stay as close as possible to the original text, while making it understandable for today’s readers. It’s commonly used in churches and by individuals for study and daily reading.

New King James Version (NKJV) - The New King James Version is a translation of the Bible that updates the language of the original King James Version. It keeps much of the classic style but uses modern words and grammar to make it easier to understand. The NKJV tries to stay true to the original texts while maintaining the poetic feel of the older version. It’s often used in churches and for personal study.

New Living Translation (NLT) - The New Living Translation is a Bible translation that focuses on making the text easy to understand. It uses simple, everyday language while staying true to the meaning of the original scriptures. The NLT is often chosen for personal reading and study because it’s clear and readable, making it accessible for people of all ages.

King James Version (KJV) - The King James Version is one of the oldest and most well-known translations of the Bible, first published in 1611. It uses formal, poetic language, which can feel old-fashioned today. The KJV is known for its distinctive style and has had a significant influence on English-speaking culture. Many people still use it for study and worship because of its historical and literary importance.
