"Best" is a difficult question to answer because it depends on a reader's needs, which normally fall in a continuum between readability and accuracy. It does no good to understand a translation that isn't accurate, and it does no good to have an accurate translation that you can't understand. Fortunately, both of those have been maximized in the Comprehensive New Testament, which presents a translation of the most accurate Greek text (the Nestle-Aland 27) at a sixth grade reading level. As a bonus, this translation includes 15,000 variant textual readings in the footnotes and maps them to 20 other translations -- basically giving the reader an entire library of translation choices in a very readable format.

There isn't a definitive "best" translation of the New Testament, as it can depend on personal preference and scholarly focus. Popular translations include the New International Version (NIV), King James Version (KJV), and English Standard Version (ESV), each with its own strengths and nuances. It's often recommended to consult multiple translations to gain a broader understanding of the text.
