What is all this bible lingo?

[kelly123]

I'm trying to find a bible online becuase i recently started to go to church. I keep seeing words like "NIV" and "NWT".
What do these mean?

Also, can someone find me a bible (not scripture or versus, an actually bible) for young adults?

Thanks

NIV and NWT are translations of the Bible. New International Version and New World Translation, respectively.

 

[RickintheSantahat]

NIV stands for New International Version, while NWT stands for New World Translation, both translations of the Bible.

And I'd recommend the LOLCat Bible.
