I highly recommend getting a Filament enabled Bible. You can read it like a regular Bible with no distractions or commentary but if you want study Bible features and references you can scan the page with the app. I just received this Bible in the mail and I’m really impressed.
It seems like this would be the best of both worlds! Though I think it's only in the NLT version so far? Is that right? But yes, you'd have a physical Bible in a smaller format than dragging around a giant study Bible, and then have the digital study helps when you need/want them. I think it's a brilliant idea.
@@Yesica1993 Yes, as of right now this Filament enabled feature is only available through Tyndale in the NLT translation. I hope this feature will expand to other translations in the future.
A great selection of Bibles. I use both the CSB and ESV study Bibles. I also have the NIV Study Bible from 1987. Yes i am that old. 😅. I would like to get the new NIV study Bible
Recommend the NLT Life Application Bible. Besides the rich study notes which mostly focus on application, the book introductions, character profiles, charts, timelines, in text maps, and many other study helps are copious. And the format is my favorite. It’s available in other translations like the NIV and KJV.
I bought the NLT Life Application and the NLT Illustrated Study Bible, the Illustrated has been my favorite possibly because of the print being a little bit bigger but its filled with information.
These are perversions. NLT, ESV, NIV, NASB, etc are all taken from corrupt Alexandrian texts that were literally found in a trash can. The King James is taken from the proper Textus Receptus and Byzantine Majority texts and is the TRUE word of God.
Right on bro. I'm Chinese so I naturally read from a Chinese/ English ( ESV ) bilingual Bible alongside other study Bibles. I'm grateful that the Lord allows nuances in different languages and translations but at the same time preserves the sovereignty of His word. I would encourage anyone to read in more than one language if you're able to or at least two different English translations, that would help us to see the word from more than one angle, and by the Grace of the Lord, to understand it better.
I am happy to stay with my Authorized KJV Bible. I also have a 1611 KJV Bible that I have read cover to cover 3 times. If I was forced to use a modern English translation, I would use the NKJV Bible. I want a translation based on the Textus Receptus manuscripts. The only companion I need is a Strong's Dictionary and Concordance.
To be saved today you must believe thee gospel of salvation (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) to be forgiven of all sins, and sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13) King James only.
Great news I did really well with the semester. I’m still waiting for one more grade, but I know I did well in that class once this class grade comes in. I can officially say that I am a Certified Media Content Creator because I am earning a certificate in Media Content Creation with my AA Media Studies Degree that I will be graduating with in May of next year. It’s a brand new certificate, and I am the very first person to fulfill all the requirements to earn it. I already took a lot of the classes for it in past semesters so I had 3 classes to take for the certificate this semester, but they counted for my degree as well so I killed two birds with one stone. I also took one of my last general education requirements. I have one more Gen Ed next semester along with one more class from my degree and a couple of other classes to remain full-time for scholarship reasons.
Another valuable Bible is the interlinear Greek/English New Testament. I've gotten them for my family members used off eBay. Mine is the Alfred Marshall using the Nestle Greek Text.
Thank you! The CSB is a reoccurring theme here in the comments. I definitely need to get one! Do you have a specific one you like? Binding, page setup, etc?
@@JaredKauffman I have a CSB Study Bible brown leather edition that is quite good. It's a commercial production one, so it won't be premium, but the liner is paste down vinyl and has raised hubs, lays flat, page weight is adequate, little ghosting, colors vibrant, text is small but readable for my old eyes.
I have a copy of the exact same bilingual French/English Bible in my personal library. I haven't used it much, even though I studied French at school, more years ago than I sometimes care to remember. I also have bilingual New Testaments in Samoan/English and Māori/English, purchased because for many years, I lived in an area with a large Pasifika community - for a while I attended a Samoan speaking church. I also have a hard cover ESV Study Bible, and copies of the "global" and "concise" editions. As well as these, I have multiple different KJV, NKJV, NLT, and CSB study Bibles.
LOVE THAT! I really like the bilingual Bible. I’m hoping eventually there will be a leather version of it. Collecting Bibles is so fun! They’re all so beautiful and so unique. Your collection sounds really neat!
Great video dude. The new King James Study Bible full color 3rd edition is great but the notes are in two tiny a font. It can be ordered on Olive tree Bible software and that way you can follow along in a print copy as well.
Thank you!! Appreciate it! I’ll have to check out the NKJV Study Bible full color 3rd edition. Haven’t heard of that one, but it sounds neat plus with the software!
I’m going to suggest one more with two options because they are similar but one is out of print. I really enjoy reading the Baker Illustrated Study Bible in the CSB translation but it’s out of print. I also have the NLT Illustrated Study Bible which I believe is still available. Both are great with lots of visual aides with the downside of being larger books.
Thank you for the recommendation! Do you have any good commentaries recommendations? I have a couple Tim Keller commentary for individual books, but I’m not aware of a full commentary for the entire Bible!
I have wanted to try reading the Bible in Spanish. (Or at least start with the New Testament.) I just need to find one in a bit easier translation than the standard Reina Valera. That one is a bit above my skill level. I know there is a Spanish one that corresponds to the English NIV. But because my usual Bible is the ESV and my former one was NIV for many years I know it would jumble up all verses I already know in English. (If that makes sense.) If there was a Spanish one that corresponded to the ESV, that would be ideal. But as far as I have seen, this doesn't exist. Maybe someday!
I totally relate to that. The French-English Bible I have is in NIV for the English, but all of the verses I’ve memorized are in ESV. So sometimes I wish I had an ESV English paired with the French. The French version is Bds which isn’t the translation I started to memorize French verses in, so I think I’ll have to switch to that version going forward for memory verses! I totally get what you’re saying!
Studying the Word for 26 years here. Avoid the NASB Study Bible. It's not very helpful. I never recommend a study Bible from one person, like John MacArthur. It largely depends on what tradition you follow, but a few that would enhance and provide different views to the ESV Study Bible: NKJV study Bible is a high B tier. CSB Study Bible is near top notch. NLT Study Bible will give you the widest spectrum of views and is beautifully laid out. A great online resource with comparative views is the Faithlife Study Bible. Its notes compliment all English translations, and it's free. These also gives you a diverse translation comparison. Personal preference is hard-core study with ESV and diverse commentary and devotional with CSB. I just love its flow!
Appreciate it! This is very insightful! Thanks! I like the NASB because of its word for word translation, but I also want to check out the CSB to complement my ESV! Thanks for commenting!
@@JaredKauffman ESV is a more readable formal equivalent than the NASB, and nearly as close to original. I differ with many translation choices of the NASB and so few in the ESV. Also, NASB loses many of the idioms for that sake of preserving the original language structures. I don't forsake the NASB, but since the ESV is nearly equivalent in formality, it's a much more reasonable choice, to me. Also, I don't care for the NIV much at all. However, the CSB sits beautifully between the NIV and ESV. I seriously love how it reads.
The NET bible how’s a lot of different Bible scholars. The full notes one subscription is like an inch and then the rest of the page is the scholars notes. The complete Jewish study Bible the modern one was done by one messianic rabbi, but he quotes many many rabbi and other writers Rashi is one of my favorite rabbi.
here is a tip: first, do you believe Abraham talked with God? if so, this is what you need to know. you only need one bible, KJV also the reason I say one bible, KJV first, it will force you to worship in spirit, meaning the holy spirit will give you understanding pray for understanding, pray for wisdom. I can assure you, don't read the other bibles, if you want to build a relationship with Jesus, he needs to come to you, by you learning his voice, audible and in mind. Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice. Yes he will teach you how to walk with God just like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses, Noah King David. God still speaks, learn to hear his voice, one on one with God. no distractions. Jesus said, I will abide in you. that means you will be able to hear him and be one with God.
I think it's cute that you're sharing your opinion about what people need to read. Awww, so cute. Have you seen the research that shows that a mere 4% of Christians actually hold a biblical worldview in the first place? Some say 9%, depends on who you believe. it's so cute that you think a study bible is important and that it needs to be thinline and personal size. Very cute. I think a basic bible with ZERO commentary from anyone, especially the John MacArthur types, is the best bible to have. But you MUST read it, you know, open it and actually read it and not just for your 5 to 15 minute quiet time once a week or every other week, but daily and more than once a day and with your time in the Word it would highly benefit you to memorize chucks of scripture, in context, not one verse at a time. I guess my question for you is why would I want to take advice from you about what you think about bibles in the first place? What makes you an expert or an authority I would want to listen to?
Having read and compared most all the modern versions, I conclude there is only one Holy Bible. In English; it is the authorized King James 1611 Holy Bible. All modern versions are perversions. I recommend Dake Annotated Reference Bible, King James, of course. It is the absolute best study Bible in the world.
Wrong! The KJV has many translation errors. It uses archaic language, and overall it has more problems than a math book. The power of the word of God is in its application!!! In order to apply the truth from the word of God, you need a bible you can understand!!! The ESV, NASB, NkJV, are great translations.
@wataboutya9310 forget the ESV or any modern translations of the Bible, because they are erroneous, and come from the erroneous Alexandrian of Egypt texts who were Anti-christians. Throw it away so no one can find it and be deceived by it.
@TN86 the esv might be easy to read, and it might be accurate to the erroneous Alexandrian of Egypt texts who were Anti-christians, but it's not accurate to the true Greek texts. Throw it away.

Net with full notes
I was going to suggest this Bible. There’s a wealth of information regarding translation decisions which I find interesting.

Love that!!

I also have the NLT Illustrated Study Bible which I believe is still available. Both are great with lots of visual aides with the downside of being larger books.
Thank you thank you!! I love It!! I’ll definitely need to check out the NLT Illustrated Study Bible!
@@JaredKauffman I didn’t just want to mention the Baker because it’s out of print although you might still be able to find a copy.
The NASB Study Bible by Zondervan uses the same study notes that are in the NIV Study Bible so either one will work for the study notes.
Thanks for the insight!! Appreciate you! Merry Christmas! 🙌
Sadly they dont have an NASB thats not associated with a person as far as I know.
Thanks for the insight! That’s kind of what I was thinking, but I wasn’t entirely sure!
I've found that the Lord could careless about what "scholars" say. The "scholars" in scripture battled with Christ and lost. Just saying.
You should include at least 3 different commentaries, a concordance or topical Bible, and a good Bible dictionary.
Thank you for the recommendation! Do you have any good commentaries recommendations? I have a couple Tim Keller commentary for individual books, but I’m not aware of a full commentary for the entire Bible!
I prefer hardback Bibles. I have a collection. Whatever Bible make sure you read and study under the hand of the Holy Spirit.
Amen! Whatever works for you, as long as you’re in the Word. I love that!

I don’t have this one but it’s on my wish list because I’ve seen positive reviews and feedback from people who have it.
Get a CSB study bible i love mine. Its not fully calvinist like the esv one is
