Deleted User02/15/2022 at 20:32I use a word for word translation. Today I use the ESV Study Bible. I do not use a different translation for devotional reading but I should and if I did I would use a paraphrase like the NLT. I will be using the ESV in this course as it uses modern day English grammar and is a scholarly product of word for word translating.
