The King James Version is good, but its language is somewhat outdated, making it more difficult to understand. It is best to choose one text as a primary source, rather than changing from text to text. Having one primary source allows us to more easily memorize Scripture. You may wish to supplement your reading with ab paraphrasedb translation—which loosely translates the Scripture in order to make it easier to understand.
