The original was written in Hebrew & Greek but now in English written bibles I have found that the King James Version is the closest. Don't take my word for that but it is the bible that I study from. What you need to do is pray about it and ask God to show you where He wants you to read His Word from.

You will need to check all directions and guidance from what the Bible teaches anyway so one of the best things you can do is to read and study and familiarise yourself with The Bible - a bit like the Bereans in Acts17/11.\n\nGod through the Holy Spirit is able to guide and lead and open your understanding, especially through The Bible. Just ask Him, and watch and pray.\n\nHaving said that it can be very helpful to have someone who can help spiritually and I strongly suggest you pray to God Himself to provide you with someone suitable. He is well able and it would be a good spiritual excercise to place it in His hands and wait on Him for His answer while you look.\n\nIn addition, if you are able to meet with other Christians that can be very encouraging and helpful and probably it is best to take time to get to know them to find out who is trusworthy and Biblically sound.\n\nMay God's provision prevail.

gablue430 has listed some of the very best choices.  My list would be similar, with one addition:\n\nNIV Study Bible\nNIV Spirit of the Reformation Study Bible\nESV Reformation Study Bible\nNIV Quest Study Bible \n\nBut I'd like rather to suggest a METHOD for you to make a good choice for YOU.\n\nThings to consider:\n\n1) Which TRANSLATION(s) are you comfortable with?  If you have a fairly strong preference for one you should take that seriously.   Of course, if you're mainly using this book at your desk and happy to keep a copy of your favorite translation at the ready, this may be less important for you --you can focus on Point #2.\n\n(NIV and ESV seem to be the dominant versions in evangelical circles these days [ESV is esp. claiming the old NASB crowd and many NKJV users].  I use both [with others] for study & teaching, but just for reading --silently or aloud-- I think the NIV is superior.  Comparing their Study Bibles, the NIV Spirit of the Reformation vs. ESV Reformation Study Bible are very close in quality -- you translation preference might well be the tie-breaker.)\n\n2) Are there specific study aids within the TEXT that you think would find especially helpful?  and do you know what you want them to do?\n\na) is it cross references that give you a lot of related passages to check out on your own?   -all of those listed ar pretty solid in this area (I have a slight preference for the NIV Study Bible on that; they did an excellent, thorough process of assmebling USEFUL parallels)\n\nb) book introductions, overviews: \nAll of those listed include some helpful book introductions (The book outlines are just OK -- haven't yet found one that is consistently helpful at this point.  At some point they tend to break down into a mere list of contents, without any analysis of WHY they are organized the way they are.  But it's a reasonable start.)\n\nc) text notes:  are you looking for 'topical notes' that answer common theological questions, esp practical ones?  (try Quest);  do you want some good, reliable discussions of what the Bible teaches on many key doctrines?  (try the two "Reformation" Bibles);   do you mainly want note that focus on special features of the specific text you are looking at, the structure of this psalm, etc? (NIV Study Bible probably beats everyone on this point -- this is my own preference and why I've always preferrd this one over the rest for MY use)\n\n3) What about the EXTRA resources in the back?  ( I don't think these are generally as imporant as those under #2 --which tend to be the *main* reason people get a study bible, but do give them some thought, esp. if things are coming out pretty even to this point!)\n\na) MAPS  - how many? how readable are they for YOU?  (some Bible map sections are great... some are awful!)\n\nb) INDEXES:   esp. 'topical guides' & Concordance -- are these enough for your own needs?  will they help you find things you are looking for? (I mostly use a separate complete concordance, but for some folks having more IN their Bibles is important to them)\n\n3) "PHYSICAL" matters, layout, etc.  (some of this may come into play more AFTER you've decided which version you want, when you're looking at size, shape, etc)\n\na) Readability of print:   All of these probably have pretty decent, readable print, etc. but that is not ALWAYS the case.  But you might find you prefer reading a single column ['like other books'] or that two-columns works well for you [tends to decrease the page count, so may lead to a smaller book to carry, or to thicker paper]\n\nb) Some have better quality paper than others as well (oddly I've found some hardcover editions have better, thicker paper than the leatherbound).  \n\nc) binding: You might have a preference on binding, and that may depend on how and how much you use the Bible, as well as the size.  (I have found that I like a smaller leatherbound cross-reference Bibl

Go to a church which teaches the bible. You might have to try a few before you settle on one that you like. It does wonders for me. Also, listen to music, exercise and never give up.

Hi Emily,\nI would start with one of the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.\nWrite down the things you learn about God from what you have read. \n\nHere are some verses that are helpful these are the words of Jesus, who is God and the Son of God;\n\nMatthew 4:4 "Man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'\n\nMark 10:15 "Truly I say to you ,whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."\n\nLuke 6:20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say "blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God."\n\nJohn 1:1 and 3:16\n"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.\n"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."\n\nRead the bible ask questions, check the answers against the Word of God.\nPlease feel free to email me if you have questions along the way.\n\nGod Bless.\nYou can look stuff up on\nChristianAnswers.net
