I recommend either the King James Version or New King James Version...good question That may actually vary depending on your reading level. King James Version is somewhat more difficult to read than the other versions since it's the earliest version, whereas something like The Message may be easier to read. It also depends on whether or not you want whole verses of the bible cut out. New King James is Easier to read than the old one
The word "read" is in the King James Version of the Bible 70 times. It is in 66 verses.
Definitely King James Version.
It depends on the version you use, but I believe the only one that would is the Message.
The King James version is most easily the most read .
The Message is a Bible translation that is written using more modern language than other Bible translations. Eugene H. Peterson created the translation to help people read the Bible and understand it better.

For the common man to read
NIV is a translation of the Bible. "New International Version" It is one of the most popular versions and very easy to read.
there are several different editions of the bible. some are more accurate than others, but the version you read depends on whether you are studying or just getting closer to god. the KING JAMES VERSION is the first english version of the bible, but that can be difficult to understand because we dont speak in that dialect any more. if you want to stay close to the king james but understand what you are reading you can try the NEW KING JAMES VERSION. the NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION is also easy to understand and is one of the more popular versions of the bible. other versions that i recommend to people are the AMPLIPHIED BIBLE which gives more detail and explanation, and THE MESSAGE bible which is much more conversational and very easy to understand.
