When I hear a biblical reference to a verse I know, the words that come to mind are the words as they appear in the NRSV. The translation that I hear week by week at church are from the NRSV and that is what I have always used in my private devotions. I am steeped in it through and through.

The funny thing is that there are different Orthodox 'canons' - the Slavic churches have books that the Greeks don't have, the Greeks have books either don't have: the Latin (and Vetus Latina ) Vulgate is pretty much the original 'Bible' of Western Orthodoxy.
