Which Bible
suits you?

Start with the language you find comfortable. NLT uses accessible phrasing; NIV is a useful alternative to compare. ESV and NKJV offer other approaches. Read a sample passage before choosing, especially if English is not your first language.

Choose a study edition when you want notes, maps or background alongside the text. A plain reading Bible is often easier to carry. Study notes reflect their contributors’ interpretations, so distinguish them from the Bible text.

No. Check the format and contents on each page: some editions are ebooks or contain only the New Testament. For a gift, ask about the reader’s preferred translation and print size.
