Say I want to quote from the bible in something I'm writing (think the famous passage in Pulp Fiction). What bible version should I quote from? I've done some research but only ended up more confused than before - KJV, NIV, NAB... every website seems to have a different opinion. What I want is to quote passages from the bible in a way that is recognisable to readers familiar with the different editions. Maybe there isn't that much difference between them (except the one which is in Old English - KJV?) I'm also interested in knowing whether the answer to this question changes if we're talking about the US or the UK. Ideally I'd like to have the most generic version possible. **Edit:** The intended audience would be religious people, already familiar with the bible.
