20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 1) 00:13:24 – 00:17:31

Question from Naomi about where to start studying the Bible verse-by-verse without knowledge of original languages.

Mike recommends: (1) Reading 4-5 translations side-by-side (NASB, ESV, NIV, etc.) to observe where translators make different choices. (2) NET Bible (netbible.org) — free resource with textual notes (TN), study notes (SN), and text-critical notes (TC). (3) STEP Bible (stepbible.org) — free resource with good content.
