New Living Bible is  also very good.   As far as critiquing the actual mss  ---  you and Kevin are the first on that one and I have been around a long time.  Got to go polish my walker.  The bible is as we know it, is the result of a comparative study of various and ancient sources, as you well know.  If God gave it to us, it was through the "providential" route.  KJV is fine, I might add.  But there are others that certainly just as good if not better.  Right?   jt: I still think the KJV is the best study Bible for one who is not literate in the original languages. Some of the others omit thousands of words - I like the majority text and my Strongs Concordance.  For center column references however, I like the NASB.  judyt
