Which Version of the Bible does your church use?

Ed Vasicek

I think it was C.S. Lewis who said, “The more the Bible is translated, the less it is read.”

There seem to be no end to Bible translations. The motive behind them is sometimes questionable, sometimes understandable.

Although most SI participants do need need to be cautioned, I do not want this poll to serve as an opportunity for long tirades and posting endless links about why all versions are bad except for the KJV. This is about which version your church uses.
