If you have never used the New Century Version to read through the Bible, you may want to give it a try. An excellent reading level and more literal than you would think. A pleasant surprise.

Here is a sample:
Proverbs 4:23–27 (NCV)
Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life. 24 Don’t use your mouth to tell lies; don’t ever say things that are not true. 25 Keep your eyes focused on what is right, and look straight ahead to what is good. 26 Be careful what you do, and always do what is right. 27 Don’t turn off the road of goodness; keep away from evil paths.
God’s word. Amen and amen!
