There aren't really that many inaccuracies/mistranslations. A lot of these I've seen "identified" are actually just archaic language, which would probably do you (or anyone) good to read.

the one i use the most is an oxford university edition of the KJV with the apocrypha from the 90's. the publisher's intro is pretty shitlib, but it includes a reproduction of the original KJV title page, it includes the original KJV introduction which is omitted by a lot of volumes since it isn't part of the bible itself ("Zeal to promote the common good..."), it has some maps, and it has assorted notes on each book as an appendix, with a bibliography of other books in the footnotes. not bad for SCHOLARS.

ESV is the best translation if you want something that was revised after the dead sea scrolls.

theyre available in all kinds of formats for protestants.

unfortunately if you want the apocrypha/deuterocanonicals this version and one published by turdskin catholics are all thats available for now https://www.amazon.com/English-Standard-Version-Bible-Apocrypha/dp/0195289102

ESV, NRSV, and NASB are the best, most accurate, and scholarly. ESV tends to be the evangelical choice while scholars go after the latter two.

KJV is inaccurate, archaic, and used only by fundamentalists. NIV was the generic standard for 30 years but has fallen out of favor. NLT is a paraphrase, not a translation.

If you're serious about it, read it in Greek. Then you'll realize how terrible the writing is, and how utterly unpleasant it is to read. Translations paper over how badly the books of the Bible are written.

Go through this course, and you should be able to start an interlinear Bible profitably:

https://www.amazon.com/Greek-English-Interlinear-Testament-Personal-Size/dp/0842345647/

As for what you need to do this, not all that much. You should have a decent, internalized grasp of the basic grammar. The oral nature of the course will help with that, as you'll see from the reviews. You can pick up vocabulary afterwards as you read the Bible.

But it's better not to read it and save your energy for something useful. I knew the bible definitively to be a crock of shit after reading it in Greek.
