I love how you explain the difference between some of the translations, but go a step further by giving an example (about the Bible itself! You could have picked any verse but you chose 1 Tim 3:16!) of each of those translations. It’s great for people to be able to read & see the differences.
I would like to add something you didn’t mention in the post… you don’t have to buy all of those versions. I might suggest buying your two favorites (one for in-depth study & one for “easy” reading), but also downloading the YouVersion Bible app because it’s free & gives you access to over 2000 versions (this includes English & other languages). This may be the most economical way to go, especially for folks who are new to the Bible & may not know which version they want to invest in yet.
