KJV, or NIV if that's too difficult. Buy used, older the better. Got mine at Half Price Books.

I recommend an ESV from Crossway (full disclosure, I work for Crossway, but it really is a great translation which draws from the original manuscripts, the KJV, and the RSV)

If you are in the US and are willing to trust me with your address, I'll send you one for free.

Thank you that's very nice but I don't want to dox myself

Understandable 👍

ESV is easiest to read, it's what a lot of churches use

If you go to any church they will give you one for free and get you going. Don't be afraid to meet a pastor and ask for guidance

I prefer reading the Bible by myself first. I don't want another human's perspective.
