5. New Living Translation
This Bible version focuses on conveying the clearest messages from the Scriptures using standard English, which makes it sounds very modern. Unlike the older translations which have flowery words and a lot of figurative language, the NLT version is said to be very readable and is now widely accepted. They use contemporary terms, which is also why it is one of the most-read Bible versions of today. Since its translators made a conscious effort to reach the younger generation, the words they use are clear, direct, and still true to the text.
