If it was good enough for the Apostle Paul, it’s good enough for me!
In all seriousness, prob should’ve said best translation imo but we’re just splitting hairs here if you want to debate MT vs CT etc. I don’t feel the need to go there. The ESV is solid and I use it but imo reads like stereo instructions being word for word. The KJV accuracy, scholarship, reliability, historical relevancy, and the literary work itself imo is best suited for reading, memorization, and worship. I’m far from an only KJV guy but it’s my preference.
Attended a church once where the pastor was preaching from the ESV and switched to the Message “Bible” for a few verses within the same passage and then back again to avoid doctrinal hard truths let’s say. It was purposeful, dishonest, and cowardly. Issue I have with most modern translations is they aren’t translated from the MT or CT but instead are just translations of translations of translations where much gets lost and much can be avoided that isn’t sugary sweet to the reader.
