The Editor
It's hard to believe 2025 is almost over. Now that we've almost seen the year through, let's take a look at the Bible versions most loved and trusted by UK Churches and Christians.
In 2025, the top 10 best-selling translations are the following:
- The New International Version Bible (NIV)
- The New Living Translation Bible (NLT)
- The English Standard Version Bible (ESV)
- The King James Version Bible (KJV)
- The New King James Version Bible (NKJV)
- The New Revised Standard Version Bible (NRSV)
- The Good News Bible (GNB)
- The Christian Standard Bible (CSB)
- The Message Bible (TM)

When considering what are the most popular Bible translations in 2025, several versions consistently lead the market due to their accessibility, accuracy, and widespread use. The New International Version (NIV) frequently tops the list for its balance of readability and faithfulness to original texts, making it popular for both personal study and church use. The King James Version (KJV) continues to hold a significant share, particularly for its traditional language and historical gravitas, especially within specific denominations and for ceremonial use. The English Standard Version (ESV) is a strong contender, favoured for its precise word-for-word translation, appealing to those seeking a more literal rendering. Other high-performing translations include the Christian Standard Bible (CSB), noted for its optimal blend of readability and accuracy, and the New Living Translation (NLT), praised for its contemporary language and ease of comprehension, making it ideal for new believers or daily reading. These translations are often considered 'best' by their respective user communities due to varying priorities such as textual accuracy, reading level, or literary style.
