Date: March 24th, 2018 7:37 PM Author: deranged international law enforcement agency 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. |

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. |
