I prefer my KJV straight text Bible, with no pronounciation marks, no nothing but the Word of God to let the Holy Spirit speak to me as I read, study and meditate. I want to know what He says, first and foremost.

Then I'll see what man has to say because I may or may not agree with him.

I have a couple of study Bibles, but I use them as commentaries, so the Scripture is right there for ready reference when I read the notes. I look at a study Bible more as a commentary than a Bible, regardless of the name on it: Scofield, Ryrie, Thompson, etc.

It's the same with teaching: I'll read the Scripture passage first and then what the curriculum is suggesting for any given lesson. Many times I'll edit the lesson because it doesn't line up with what the Holy Spirit is telling me in Scripture.
