Stick with the King James Bible. You will never go wrong.
Here is an article on the The Holman Christian Standard Bible (below). It's a little long but it clearly shows that it will never be as good as the King James Bible (AV1611).
There has been over 400 versions of the English Bible since the King James Bible was published in 1611. How many more do we need?
I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men.
and two verses after —
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher and an apostle (I say the truth, I lie not), a doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
– let alone the rest of the Book which is filled with teachings and exhortations, showing clearly that Paul acted as a "mediator" among the Word, the word, and the people. James 5:19-20 clearly speaks of the roles we humans play in salvation —
My brethren, if any of you err from the truth and one convert him: He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way shall save his soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins.
– as does 1 Timothy 4:16:
Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee.
