What does everyone think of Darby's translation? My friend was given one this Sunday. I looked at it briefly and it seemed similar to the KJV except in the OT he uses Jehovah instead of Lord.
Darby is very similar to the ASV, in fact, the English translators from which the ASV was derived referred to it. Darby used a critical text, not the TR.

I have it and like it well enough, but I always want to double check against the original Greek or Hebrew.

Also, the Bretheren I knew used AV, NIV, NKJV, and a few used the Darby. It was not a big deal among them.
