The Evangelical Heritage Version, while I have misgivings about translations done solely by one denomination (the EHV was done by Lutherans), I have found many wonderfully accurate renderings in the text, and I have found the EHV very enlightening. I would still, to be safe, compare it to two other versions, the NKJV and NASB, as the EHV uses both the traditional and modern Greek text. As always, pay attention to the footnotes in a BIble translation; they are there for a reason!
The New Living Translation is not as accurate as the other translations listed above. The NLT often paraphrases and takes liberties with the text. I do not recommend the NLT as a primary or study Bible, but I do use it to compare with other Bible translations to help me understand what I am reading.
