David,
Try this in earnest...Pray to God before you read the bible, that he will give you understanding to the text. If you earnestly want to understand it God will be faithful to give you understanding.
I happened along a Jewish New Testament Publication (Complete Jewish Bible), and I like the way it reads. I've read through the King James Version and after reading through it I got used to the Old English Style of writing.

HistoricalDavid. Yes, I admit that was a rant about the bad language of the KJV Bible and not about its accuracy. I have been corrupted by real literature. It was written at the same time as Shakespeare and well after Chaucer so it doesn't have an excuse for being so bad due to chronology.

Remember, Shakespeare was an entertainer not a theologian.
Have a good day.
