Good tip, thank you. If you do find the one you use, let me know!

I think I found it - try https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=joshua%202&version=AKJV;TLB

It's not automatically intuitive (to me anyway) - but you can pull up any bible version they have listed and then "add parallel" so you can view the two versions side by side.

Bible hub. If Johnny cash says “kick against the pricks,” Google the phrase. Then find the reference. Then Google “Bible hub acts 26:14”

You find Cash was quoting kjv but pricks means goads or thorns.

You can see lots of versions

I’d recommend listening to kjv on audible or similar. To learn phrases. They will all be kjv.

I’d recommend reading the NIV or nlt for the stories if you want. There are some chronological bibles and one called The Story that is NIV abridged and chronological. 500 pages. Miss some stuff but get the story.

Then kjv listen to some famous passages. Some psalms and epistles and sermons of Jesus.
