Best Bibles
- King James Version, aka the English Luther Bible
- KJV 21 - slightly modernized, just as our current KJV is...
- Third Millennium Bible - ditto. All three Bibles above use the traditional text and precise translations rather than anything goes text and paraphrasing (NIV, ESV, Surfer Dude, The Message, Good News).
- Note how the apostate "conservative" Lutherans will not let any KJV Bible even be named in any discussion about translations.

- C. P. Krauth. The Conservative Reformation.
