Key to Bible Translations:  

NASB: New American Standard Bible  Translated by The Lockman Foundation first in 1971, then updated in the 1990's, the New American Standard Bible has been widely acclaimed as “the most literally accurate translation” from the original languages. With the NASB, anyone can discover what the original text really says, word for word, because it is considered the most literal translation of the Bible in the English language, consistently following the oldest and best manuscripts.

NIV:  New International Version  The NIV is the most widely accepted contemporary Bible translation today. More people today buy the NIV Bible than any other English-language translation. More than 100 scholars from six English-speaking countries, as well as editors and English stylists, worked on the NIV, which was completed in 1978. The scholars represent more than 20 denominations. The NIV was created and is maintained with the mandate to accurately and faithfully translate the original Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic biblical texts into clearly understandable English.

KJV:  King James Version  Completed in 1611, but it's final revision was in 1769, called the Oxford Revision.  This resulted from an edict by King James 1, who followed Queen Elizabeth after her death in 1603.

NKJV:  New King James Version  The New King James Version is a revision of the King James version that does not make any alterations on the basis of a revised Greek or Hebrew text, but adheres to the readings presumed to underlie the King James version. This revision was completed in 1982.

TM:  The Message  First completed in 1992, this translation was written by Eugene H. Peterson The goal of The Message is to engage people in the reading process and help them understand what they read. This is not a study Bible, but rather "a reading Bible."
