For the love of all that is good, read it yourself and come to your own conclusions before operating on what he has to say. Innumerable souls have given everything they had so that you can, and that should tell you what you need to know. If you never have, start with the words in RED. Mr. Ex's disbelief in good is his primary oversight! They did not write it. They tried to hide it many times and when they finally realized they cannot conceal the truth within they tried to corrupt, confuse, and distract by any means available. Jesus Christ flipped the tables of the money changers. Think about that!
Geneva was essentially the first translated into English. Shortly thereafter the King of England's official propagandized version came out with the force and coercion of law. It was done in Geneva because "the church" held it illegal to translate it into english. Seems pretty suspicious that the royalty of england never bothered to have an english version but as soon as the Geneva version came out all of the sudden they cared. That speaks volumes to me. But it's not even the translation that matters. There's a very simple hidden truth that MANY miss which does the real trick of enlightenment and conversion.
One has to be ready to see it.
I can only leave hints and hope that you can see it yourself. Look carefully, but also let your mind wander. If I said it outright it would sound absurd, but if it resonates with your very being how could it not be true?
"The kingdom of God is within you"
"You are the temple of the spirit of God"
Jesus was asked "are you the king of the Jews? He said "You say so".
"Before Abraham was, I am"
"I am with you always, even unto the end of the earth"
"For with God, nothing shall be impossible"
"And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth."
"Why callest thou me good? There is none good, but God"
"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?"
Also consider these quotes from men who saw it:
"Governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed"
"Cogito, ergo sum"
"Scientia potentia est"
It goes on and on once you see it friend. The real blasphemy is to deny what we are.

Which version would you recommend?
Apologies in advance for my ignorance but I’ve read that the typical versions have chapters taken out that would give context

You can ask God to read it with you.
