Of course everyone knows of the King James Version and the New International Version. There are dozens more.

Which version do you use, or does your church recommend, and why?

English Standard.
It is essentially literal, yet fairly easy to read.

King James Version and if you trust Jesus as your Good Shepherd, you will see why that is the Bibel to rely on in discerning good and evil in these latter days;

See Romans 8:26-27 & 1 Peter 4:19 for examples in comarison as only Jesus can help you see the declining from the testimonies regarding the Son; Psalm 119:157-158

The Oxford Edition. It's not perfect but better than the KJV which, despite its majestic language, is flawed in a number of ways.

I generally read the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, but for quick reading, the NRSV uses the best primary texts and generally has the best translation methodology.

I would disagree with this. The KJV has lots of problems.

I use the Concordant Literal New Testament because of its accuracy in translation. One example is that it uses eon instead of "for ever".
