New International Version (NIV):
The New International Version (NIV) is a modern English translation that achieves a good balance between accuracy and readability. It is a completely new translation of the original languages done by an international group of more than a hundred scholars. Their goal was to convey in English the thought of the original writers. Since 1987 it has outsold the King James Version, the best-seller for centuries, a remarkable indication of its popularity and acceptance in the Christian community.
