I think the Magiera and Roth translations are the best (of the recent) translations. I wish Roth wasn't so obsessed with trying to tell us to keep the Mosaic Torah (which is clearly contradicted by Scripture, even in his own translation). Bauscher's Plain English New Testament isn't as literal as Roth's is, therefore it is easier to read. His translation of Matthew 5:3 is incorrect in the Plain English version, but is correct in the Interlinear (another example of Brother Chuck being correct in his views on Bauscher's translation work). I love using the Lamsa Bible, but it isn't the best out there. I'm in school right now with the Lamsa Bible and the Murdock New Testament.
