The Concordant Literal New Testament is just the opposite of your remark a.w.

A. E. Knoch, who started the translation work of the CLNT, believed in eternal torment. But as he got deeper into the translation work he had to change his views to accord with the translation rather than making the translation accord with his views.

Maybe an interlinear? Just to see the original Greek as opposed to other stuff.

I appreciate any insight, any recommendations.

Thanks.
Ah! Looking for that perfect Bible to support one's doctrine.

I noticed the same about the OP title. I find it very disturbing to search for a particular translation to back up one's own doctrinal belief: the cart before the horse thing.
